Yesterday was the first time Ive seen loki actually poop. Usually I have seen white/yellow and liquid (urates?) His cage is quite big and he has many places to hide, so its possible I may never see any droppings until I clean his cage. Ive had him about 2 weeks and he is roughly 2 months old. Anyways, his poop was rather soft and mushy. He eats ground turkey with some greens and mango/grapes blended in with repashy vitamins and zoo med calcium without d3. I have noticed his belly seems to be taking on a rather balloon like appearance. From the day I got him, you could feel a movable mass beneath the skin on either side of his body right beneath the rips. I assumed it was either his stomach being full or another organ. It doesn't protrude oddly from his body, but is palpable if I palpate his sides lightly. Any thoughts on this? Should I move him to a temporary cage for monitoring or should I just get a vet visit to be safe? Ive not seen him straining either. What does a vet do for impaction? Simple enema or are there meds?
Thanks Guys
