Question
He has gotten extremely skinny, & is very weak. He(Elvis) cant eat the food. He goes to attack it but he has his mouth closed instead of open. He is unable to open it. What is wrong? Does anybody know? Please Please Help me!!
I tried rubbing water along his mouth to see if that would help him..but it didnt show any difference.

Answer
Hello Nicole, you should take him to the vet, not being able to eat is serious. And he isn't opening his mouth which is never good. Was it a shedding problem? I don't know why he wouldn't be opening his mouth so you should contact a vet as soon as possible. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help.
