Lupin is 16. Her behaviour has changed and I'm worried. She has various health issues. For a long time she has vomited most days. She was on Zantac but it didn't help. About a month ago she started shredding paper, pulling at the fabric on cushions in almost a frenzy.
The vet put her on steroids......it seemed like magic. No more sickness. Newspapers were put out of her way but still she shreds soft furnishings. We tried putting all cushions out of the way but she then started on sofa etc which can't be put away. So we've left one cushion out.
The steroids have made her ravenous but this pulling and swallowing the threads doesn't seem to be food related.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Has anyone else encountered this odd behaviour? There is the possibility of a brain tumour the vet suggests. I'm so hoping not and she seems reasonably normal otherwise. I'm so worried this will result in a blockage.
