Mitzeee is on the mend quite well but just a few things that are worrying me a little as im not a expert.

He doesnt poo very much at the moment and when he does he poos lots of really soft ones, then a bit tougher ones in a row say 6-7 squashed together then they start to become normal all be it a little smaller in size? We have recently taken him off him loxicom and baytril and been giving him zeptrin which was advised by the vets. While he was only those he was pooing so much and now it seems he will only poo once taking him out his little in house cage.

He also stopped drinking water for about a day but is back on it again now, whereas while on the meds he was non stop drinking.

He seems fine in himself and is eating and playing as normal, I just dont want to make sure noting is seriously wrong with him.

Sounds like he has some excess caecotrophs or malformed caecotrophs amongst normal droppings. Lots of reasons for this from pain and stress to a starchy diet and not enough fibre, or more likely in his case antibiotics upsetting his normal caecal bacteria balance. Some probiotics would probably be very helpful and lots and lots of hay for the fibre will help too. :wave:
