Constipation...? :/

[emilybortz]

I've been having my roommate feed Bean during the day of late as I've been working and he can't go without food for a full day. I took a look at the worms he's been eating and theyre far too big, something I should have checked on before leaving a note for my roommate. His behavior hasn't changed at all, but he hasn't done a poo since yesterday morning and I'm a bit worried. I feel a big lump in his tummy, so I'm trying to massage it and give him applesauce with babyfood. Is there anything else I can do, or is it something to wait out for?


Thanks so much

Emily and Bean

Warm baths and a massage will help. Also try putting a few drops of mineral oil in the food.

Okay, Its been two days now of warm baths and massages and still no poo
Bean is hating his applesauce and oil diet, but I'm too afraid to give him his worms at the moment (I bought smaller ones, but I think he should pass his stool before he gets any more).
At what point should I book a vet appointment? Hopefully the poo comes soon Poor beany

My Grudge pooped a pile about the size of his mid section it seemed on the fifth day. However, on that same day, I had scheduled an appointment for the vet, but now I had a fecal sample to test.

Around a week is the limit I set for a vet visit.



Oh, and with that fecal I found out my baby had parasites (Vet was awesome and just gave me enough to take home and treat all of my babies.)

Emily, try some 100% pumpkin and a few drops of olive oil! Also make his bath a bit warmer then usual and keep massaging his tummy. That should make him go!
