Re: acts like he is starving

ah yes, the undies that stewed for 2 weeks..that was weird, but the 3 piles of snow white poop was close to as weird. I kept looking at it thinking "what is this stuff?'
he isn't like hilda who grabs stuff and looks at us like "come and get it", but he turns his back and gulps it down. that combined with the food gobbling/guarding makes me think the idea of hunger in his life before us is the reason.
he may have had worms when we got him, but he's on heartguard plus now, and I think that is supposed to keep them free of all kinds of worms. I will ask the vet about the thyroid. another physical thing is his saliva, it has always been thick and sort of sticky. (now that's a tangent)
