5 days post neuter - bit concerned

eric doesn't seem to be pooping enough. he did for the couple of days i first brought him home after his castration but i haven't found many poops at all today. yesterday he seemed to be doing big mushy poops outside on the grass but not a lot at all since then.

at the moment i have no car and tbh, our 'emergency' vet to contact is part of the group i used first when he was poorly - so i have absolutely no confidence in them at all now.

could anyone advise me on what to look and feel for with eric and his tum please?
 
well he's decided to have a hay cake snack (only cos i broke it in half for him - lazy boy:roll:) so i'm hoping this gets him going:?

supposed to be examining his stitches too but he's not a happy bunny when picked up unless its just for a really quick cuddle (like when i have to put him in the travel thing).

sunday afternoon stress eh:cry: and its p'ing down outside.
 
I found your cardboard eating thread 1st.
Felt it was a sign of hind gut slowing down. Can you see your vet tomorrow?

With tum - get to know what his normal bowel sounds are like - just get your ear on his flank. I can't examine a bun's tum accurately yet!! :shock:
Your oh or son would have to comment on smell of the squidgy poops. Dysbiosis poops stink! Other than that it's reduced output, changed size, abnormal shape, etc.

You will know that distension/swelling, no poop out put or no food/fluid intake is an emergency & don't describe these features.

All the best for you both please keep us updated.
