Hello,

Need some quick advice please!

George has been fine all day and is running about and eating/drinking fine but he hasn't used his litter tray all day. He is passing liquid due to the amount of extra water we've given him due to the heat, but no poos all day??? He seems fine and his stomach isn't hard. Any idea what I can do to help him along ro what it could be?

Thanks!
 
No he's just been eating the same as normal - spring greens and hay. He's running round the room but when he goes in his litter tray he sits there for ages and there's no poos at all :(
 
Just seen the post below - seems exactly the same as mine oops. If he hasn't pood in an hour or so i'll take him to the vets.
 
Yeah I reckon that's the best thing to do,it could be stasis or blockage..am sending vibes for your bun xxx I hope he'll be ok! :)
 
He's just done about 6... which i guess is something. Your vibes worked! Maybe it's the hot weather, poor buns they all seem to be suffering. :(
 
Even if he does a few poos now I would either want to take him along to the vet tonight just to make sure everything if shifting along at last, or keep a very close eye on him as long as he carries on eating, he may be ok now or he may still need some drugs to help it on its way and some fluids too. Hoping for lots of nice droppings by morning for your bun :) Syringing some water/cooled herbal tea should help perk him up if he lets you.
I think with both this and the post below it may be this hot weather dehydrating the guts quicker than the buns can drink it in! :(
