Could it be that this poor baby is impacted? I know this happens in people and can be a result of him holding it becasue he is afraid of pooping due to his constipation as a puppy. The longer he holds it in, the more liquid his body absorbs form it, making it drier and more difficult to pass.
I used to care for elderly patients who had this happen. It seems in the video that he only passed a tiny piece, which is a symptom, and the brown fluid that you mentioned is also a symptom. The fluid builds up behind the solid mass in an attempt to "push" it out.
I would be uncomfortable giving anything not advised by a vet, mineral oil or otherwise, if this baby has any kind of intestinal problem, (which it appears so) that could make it worse.
I hope he feels better soon! |
