Re: For the Love of Cheddar


Yes I have been stimulating him to go. He is peeing with no issues but still no poop all day today. I've been trying the gently rubbing his bum with a damp cloth and rubbing his tummy. I have to stop after a bit though because his skin starts to get red and raw. Do you have any other suggestions I can try? He is wanting to eat more but am afraid to give more since he is so bloated and is not going regularly. I'm not withholding food, just giving him the same amount as in the beginning.

Re: For the Love of Cheddar


As mentioned before, does he need worming? This may solve the bloated problem and help with him being hungry all the time. Small meals often is best, sounds like you're doing ok. He looks healthy enough. Vet could best advise because he can weigh Cheddar.

Re: For the Love of Cheddar


Yes he dewormed the other day and will get another dose in 10 days. I have a scale here too, he is 9 ounces now.
If Cheddar doesn't poo by tomorrow, I will try a different formula or get a laxative from the vet. Thank you all for your help.

Re: For the Love of Cheddar


Well he looks healthy enough to me I would do as you are doing myself give him another day. It is worrying but he certain looks well enough under your care so you are making right choices.

Re: For the Love of Cheddar


If Cheddar is well in himself I don't think there's much to worry about. I've had bottle reared lambs that got very fat round the tummy. Cheddar is a little sweetie, he's a very lucky chap.

Re: For the Love of Cheddar


That's good to know fecto's mum. Maybe he's just fat??

Here are some more pictures of our daily sun-bathing:

Re: For the Love of Cheddar


What brilliant photos, especially the last one! Thinking about Cheddar having a poo, OH suggests a tiny amount of cod liver oil or any fish oil may do the trick. Yours dogs seem to have taken to him. I bet they don't understand how a 'puppy' could be so small. Cheddar obviously loves the dogs too. It's amazing how he shows no fear. You must be doing a great job

Re: For the Love of Cheddar


Smashing photos! Glad to hear that he is being wormed. I think I'd try a tiny bit of fish oil just to see if it helps him along. He is one lucky little orange poppet to have you caring so well for him. Keep those photos coming, I love them!
