Hey Guys,
New member here, first post.
I need help with my male eckie please. He is 18 weeks old and isn't fully weaned, as the breeder believes that its okay to continue feeding them formula on top of fresh fruit and vegetables, for as long as they want it.
The issue is, the past 2 days he has vomited up the formula after feeding him it in the morning. Nothing else comes up - just the formula. I was thinking maybe I made it as a different consistency or different temperature, but I have the thermometer and keep it at that temp consistently. I was also thinking I should try a different formula?
I have only had him for 2 weeks now, and I know he is still getting settled in here, but the vomiting concerns me.
I also weighed him today and he hasn't put on any weight for a week, even though he has been eating. The breeder drilled it into me that he should be gaining weight weekly, so this makes me concerned.
I feel like I'm out of my depth here. He isn't eating as much as he did at the breeders, but I always make sure he has food around and available, and I hand feed him if need be.
Any advice would be appreciated please. This is my last step before going to see the vet.
Thank you
