Worried about Jims

I am a bit concerned about Jims, hubby and I were meant to be going out for the day but I am too worried to leave Jims on his own all day so we have not gone out afterall.
I found some very small (Status sized poops) poops in his potty amoungst his normal healthy sized poops, he ate his breakfast but was not quite as enthusiastic about it as normal and I do not know if this is me just peicing it together before it has been finalised but he does not seem quite himself.
Going to keep a close eye on him over the next few hours and if no better will give the vets a call.
 
I hope Jims is ok now. It does sound as though it could be the start of something, e.g stasis. Did you have to call the vet in the end?
Make sure he is warm enough as if his is poorly he may not be able to maintain his body temperature.
 
Touch wood after a lot of napping he has picked up, has not had a problem eating today so that is good, I did call the vets and mention the small poops and they said keep an eye on him and see how he goes obviously if he shows any other signs then we will take him in.
