Val - Our little guys are so stoic when it comes to pain and illness that we can never really know what is going on. Sometimes it can be so subtle we may even miss the signs all together. My feeling is that anytime there is a behavioral change it is a very good idea to consult with a vet. Blood work can tell many things that are wrong that we wouldn't know any other way. I hope he's just mellowing out, but to be sure get him to the vet as soon as you can. Nothing would be worse than to wake up one day and he is gone from something that could have been taken care of by a vet. Please let me know what the vet says and how he is doing.
