Hi Guys,
This is my 3rd time now of being scared stiff that Biccy was going to go into stasis.
I think i kind of know why it happens, but don't know why. Probably makes no sense but here goes.
If we go out for the day and leave him in his penned area, we can often come back and find he has not peed or poo'd in his litter tray *at all*. This is the 3rd time it's happened and it again scared the **** out of me.
He was eating like a horse as usual and gobbled down his evening herbs.
Still no poops. Now i know i changed his litter tray at 3:17pm as i looked at my phone after doing it - so no poops or wee when i got in at 7:38pm.
He didn't seem himself, wouldnt chase me to the door, wouldnt jump up on the sofa etc, i was ready to call the emergency vets..but thought i'd try what worked last time..
so off i trotted to tesco (well drove, slightly faster than normal) and bought some pineapple chunks. Gave him two, let him munch through them and 20 minutes later, we have some slightly smaller and darker poops.
OH has gone to bed without me, as im not going to bed until i've seen some better poops and more wee.
Could it be he just doesn't like going while we arent here and does himself no favours becasue of it? Or should i be more concerned?
This is the 3rd time exactly the same thing has happenned and been fixed by the same thing.
Advice / Ideas please RU'ers.
