I will contact the vets office first thing Monday to see about getting him in for a more invasive look at the booty. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of all of this soon ? This entire process has been so stressful and draining on him, I, and my bank account! Thank you for all your advice...

From what I understand, he is male. Has all the identifications of a male and has had a previous prolaps in the past which required surgery in which they identified him as male. he is eating like a savage still everyday. I am located in MI and we are hard pressed in my area to find anyone who...

Finally got the x-rays. I am not even sure what I am looking at or where the blockage is located ? This is a lot harder to understand than I thought... Anyone else able to make heads or tails of this? Where is the blockage? How big? How much is behind it?

I will call and try to get a copy of the xrays emailed over ?? the tail swelling is recent. the first picture I took and sent to the doctor is from 11/22. I intially brought him into the vet 11/05 because he was sleeping a lot and sitting in his water a lot. I suspected he was sick. They gave...

his vet sent his xrays to a "specialist" who informed them that it was an "object." Of course its possible it could be a stone but I would hope the specialist would be able to tell the difference and thats why they said "object" as opposed to a stone... Anything is possible though. I wont rule...

he doesnt have anything in his enclosure aside from his bedding which is coco coir and husk. the only thing I can think is he swollowed some of the bedding ? ??

I am not sure how high up the blockage is but I have been massaging his tail and using an electric toothbrush to "vibrate" him to help move things along.

Were up this morning doing LONG soaks. Had some more straining but nothing has come out yet. Will be doing more pumpkin and lactulose in a few. Hoping he is able to pass this on his own. Vet did not mention any other options so I am a bit worried if he isnt able to pass it what the next steps...

thanks for the tips and support! he is home and doing well. he LOVES the pumpkin. we will see how he does with all of this ?? holding out hopes for a poop!

Prof. Chaos seen his doctor today. X-ray confirmed an "object" is lodged inside ? fluids given..sending him home with lactulose. instructed to feed pumpkin. How long should I expect to see results with this? What concerns or warning signs should I have/know while he tries to pass the "object"?

I just did a few squirts of the mineral oil as suggested. Waiting to see if anything happens. Still no word from our vet. If nothing else though he seems more comfortable after the oil. Some of the tissue went back inside. Just watching and waiting.

I actually just had him at the vet and he is currently on an antibiotic after they could find nothing else wrong. Now im noticing this issue and thinking its something stuck causing the infection? I did place a call to them with this update and am waiting to hear back.

Thank you! I am going to run to Walmart now and try this. My main concern is further aggrevating the tissue that is already inflamed and has some sort of yellowish looking blisters/bumps/mucus? It reminds me of when someone has strep throat and the white bacteria you see all over. Once I get...

Hello, Professor Chaos is currently dealing with some issues with his back end area. Today during his soak I noticed some reddish looking tissue and some blisters/bumps on the tissue. Does anyone have any idea what these bumps/blisters are or if this is normal/signs of infection? Progression...

i adopted he/she at, what i was told was 4 mons old, very tiny and very sick. parisites and URI and i remember the symptoms well but i have not had a single issue since. im probably just overreacting (: ill let him be for now and if anything else comes up then ill let myself worry. this is my...
