I am not a vet and don't want to encourage or discourage you from getting the xray. I am not sure what I would do about that. I am only making suggestions about what I would do if I chose to hometreat him. He has every reason to be constipated. Diet, stress and vomiting. PLus he seemed to feel good for one day? Would he have a good day if it was a blockage? I would get canned pumpkin and Nutracal and get him to lick ice cubes. I wouldn't give him anymore rice for now. He isn't vomiting right?
Good luck and keep us posted. |
Nope no vomit. He just doesn't want to eat or drink & his stomach felt hard. When he pooped this morning my husband said he had a lot of trouble getting it out & then it like shot out & then some soft poop followed it. He seemed very uncomfortable in the stomach area this morning, but my husband said he's not acting like that anymore.
He was sick on sunday throwing up, but then in the afternoon he ate rice & cottage cheese & seemed to be doing better. He's been acting totally fine since then until this morning. If it is a blockage I'm gonna guess it's happened more recently then the weekend. The only thing I can do is follow the doctors instructions and wait. I will try the canned pumpkin though when I get home.
