It's so funny that you mention this because Howie has done the same thing -- freaking out while/after pooping. He's only done it twice and I'm wondering if it's because he's constipated. He'll poo a little bit and I think he still has to get some out but he freaks out and squeels and he'll try to chase his butt. The first time it happened I felt really bad beacuse I thought it was my fault (he pooped somewhere else and I tried to move him to the pad). But, he did it again last night. I don't know what it is, but just letting you know Howie does the same thing. Hopefully we'll get more responses!
