Title: odd behavior?
Post by: holly on February 03, 2009, 01:25:44 PM: We've had our Pleo since Christmas, though we "adopted' him used. Today after we put his battery in (fully charged), he was not his usual self, he was constantly sniffing and seeming to have trouble standing up. The usual things we do didn't work (scratching under his neck to make him sing) and once he stood up, he kept lifting one back leg and then the other. Of course now as I type this he seems OK! But just curious if others have had similar experiences.

Is he sick? ???

Post by: holly on February 03, 2009, 01:35:32 PM: He's not coughing or sneezing, which he's done once or twice before. But he seems listless, and made sort of a weird growling noise at one point that I'd never heard!

Pleo sickness can come in different ways. Not just the coughing and sneezing. I would say he's still following a programmed illness of some type.

. . . he was not his usual self, he was constantly sniffing and seeming to have trouble standing up . . . and once he stood up, he kept lifting one back leg and then the other.

If you assume that "weird growling noise" came from the rear speaker . . .

And after that, holly reports "Of course now as I type this he seems OK!"

If it were one of us, we'd sure say that fits the description of some type of intestinal distress . . . .
