Day two

[acidburn01]

Toothless ate a few supers and a few dubias and tried to poop three times. The first time was small, totally not normal from his usual morning poops and within ten minutes, he tried again but only a little bit ofnwhite stuff came out but he usually never tries to go again this soon and I'm wondering if he's constipated or has an upset stomach.? What can I give for either and how much.?

You can give unsweetened pumkin, unsweetened applesauce, baby food such as prune puree or applesauce, you can add a drop of olive oil also.
You can also try giving him a good warm soak

How do I get it into his mouth.? He whips his head away before I can wiggle it in and I can't get his mouth open.

Its going to take two of you- one to hold his head so you can get his mouth open - try going in from the side of his mouth - use a q tip to pry his mouth open -

Wrap him up like a burrito get another person to help you have them hold him while you slip the Q tip in on the side of his mouth so he opens it -- take the syringe and feed him slowly let him swallow what you put in - after he taste it he may like it and eat willingly -add 2 drops of honey so its sweet -

What's the best way to hold his head still.? They make no noise so I have no idea if I'm hurting him or anything and that throws me off.

My husband held him and had his head from the back by his jaws as I took the q tip and stuck it on the side of his mouth -

What will soothe the belly more.? I don't think he's necessarily constipated, but I think a little more on the right before diarrhea side.? I don't want to make him poop more and dehydrate him or anything.

He hasn't pooped since this morning, but it was smaller than his usual and they were... like, log-shaped.? Not super dark or green and didn't smell worse than usual.

He usually poops, then awhile later instead it's like just a few drops of the white stuff and that's two maybe three times a day and then later in the day is another small poop. But this morning, it was a small poop and immediately after, he pooped the little drops and then did it again a minute or two later. It's not usually back to back.

The easiest way i have found to open their mouth, put your thumb under his chin, your 4 fingers over his head in the shape oh a C. Then gently pull down the liwer lip with your thumb
