Bloated tummy, no poo's!

Pringle

Warren Veteran
Just need advice :(. This morning at 7am when i put pringle in run i noticed his tummy was all lumpy so i felt it and it felt like loads of large poo's inside his tummy was big lumps, i phoned vet for advice and Sy took him along to the vet, he got a few injections (gut stimulate) and he got some parafin. He came home and was in run with Sophie, he is eating normal, still hopping around as usual etc, i brought him inside about 7pm to keep an eye on him and poo as i cant tell if he has poo'd or if its sophies. Hes not poo's since he has been in but hes hopping around daft, i gave him more gut stimulate at about 7.30pm and his parafin from vet, have also giving him a little infacol to break any wind thats their. Im just concerned he hasnt poo'd yet :(. Hes munching away as vet said feed him as normal but im scared it bloats him even more.

Any advice is appreciated
Hayley and poorly Pringle xx
 
If he wants to eat on his own accord, I think I'd let him eat what he wants. Have you tried giving some tummy rubs? That could help to get things moving... but him hopping about is good for him too.

Has he got a litter tray inside the house - he could be holding it in!
 
I have been giving him tummy rubs but after a while he hops off, feels like their is two large balls of poo in their.
I brought his litter tray in to see if he would poo in their, i want to put him back out incase he would rather poo out their but he lives with sophie so hard to tell what poo is his xx
 
:wave: hiya hun. i think its good if hes moving, and you should encourage it even if you have to feel mean and make him move a little, tummy rubs are good if you can do them. is he drinking?.
