So glad he's doing better. I can tell you this. One of the vets said possibly his anal opening is too small? Ready for this? My human baby, who is a adult now was born with that. Of course we didn't know. It wasn't until I finally told the doctor something is really wrong here. Tests were done and this is what I had to do, ugh, yuck and all that. I had to get a pinky plastic sheath (sp) And four times a day I had to stimulate the rectal area with my pinky, it would make him go. But what was happening was by me doing this 4 x a day it was stretching his little butt. Today he is 33 and his butt is A OK I had to do it for about a month.
On another note, was there ever a possibility that he may have swallowed something when he was young? It really sounds like a blockage of some sort. I know that a blockage and it doesn't have to be constipation, fluid will bypass it and yes it stinks because it is liquified stool. Could he have some little fissure or hemoroids? Sometimes it is something so simple and we tend to look at the big things first. The meds he is on are not good for long term. Plus if he does have any swelling, the meds will reduce that. But then we're just putting on a band aid and not looking at or fixing what's under it.
I hope he continues to do well. |
