no wee for 24+hrs

Hi, Joey has been at HoneyBunnies for bonding but unfortunately it didn't work out as he was being very fruity and doing a lot of humping (and biting) so he came home last night - he's been a bit off today, lots of sleeping and not moving around much - at first I thought it was just exhaustion from the bonding :roll: but I'm not so sure now? I usually change his litter tray every other day, but I checked it tonight to make sure he's pooing ok, which he is, but he hasn't had a single wee since he's been back here!

could there be a problem with his boy bits not working properly from the humping? his litter tray is uauslly pretty soaked with wee after two days and it just seems odd that he hasn't had any at all :? He seems to be eating fine and has been drinking water

I've messaged Jill to check he was weeing ok when he was there ... but does anyone have any ideas? should I be worried/doing something!! very concered about him

Is he drinking normally?

Could be a problem with his waterworks. Personally I'd involve the vet as soon as possible; if he's not had a wee for 2 days and simply can't go i.e. due to a blockage, he will be very, very uncomfortable.

sorry, having a flappy bun Mum moment!! fluffers has answered my question on another thread! :thumb:

I definitely agree if it were 48 hours :thumb:

I've also said that I would contact the vet if at all worried :thumb::wave:

he has drank more than usual today from his ramekin and water bottle. I brought him in before to check below for signs of swelling and felt his tummy and he didn't show any signs of pain? he just isn't himself, but it's hard to tell as he's been away for 10 days and his hormones are probably all over the place. But he has been very sleepy today

Fluffers asked if he had been weeing else where, but I've checked all over the patio and around his litter tray - but he always does it in the tray :?

If you are 100% certain he's not had a wee for 24+ hours then you have absolutely no choice but to take him to the vet.

Have you checked that his penis is not very sore or that the foreskin is 'stuck' pulled back ?

I wouldn't know where to start I checked for swelling and it all looks the same as usual I think :?
Just been out and checked him again - he's eating hay downstairs in his run but still no wee :?

If all looks ok re his bits then he may just have done a lot of spraying during the bonding attempt and consequently he will have a very empty bladder. If he has been drinking a lot this evening then he should have passed some wee by the morning xx
