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! |
You know now that you mention it...maybe mineral oil is not a wise choice, without a vet's consent. Maybe just a tiny bit of lubrication in the rectum done by a vet...to physically feel for an impaction. I don't know he's so tiny, but there has to be a way to see or feel inside him...
