Today's visit to the vet resulted in much poking and prodding from the doc, as well as an x-ray. Everything looked normal, except he's slightly dehydrated and he apparently is full of poo. His intestine showed poo all the way up into the small intestine and back almost to the stomach. So, he was given a shot of something that's supposed to jump start his digestive system and clear things out.
Four hours later, he's had one BM, but of smaller than normal quantity. I was expecting frequent large volumes of poo, but that just hasn't happened. Hopefully he'll be able to clear himself out soon.
We don't know that this is the cause of his trouble, but being that backed up would certainly make me feel bad... |
