My cherry head is nearly 3 1/2 years old. I’ve never had much problems with her. She’s about 5+ inches and 2.2 pounds (1007 grams).
The past week- 10 days she’s become constipated: Straining to poop with only some brown liquid coming out, or occasionally small poop the size of a blueberry. I’ve been giving her warm soaks with reptiboost and electrolyte powder and pumpkin. I tried putting mineral oil on soaked kibble but she won’t eat it that way. Neither will she eat pumpkin or any greens or fruit I’m offering. She was eating fine before this.
Now I’ve made matters worse by attempting to use a syringe to inject warm water in the cloaca. She hissed and has now pulled in her tail even during the soaks. During the pandemic, my vet practice did away with their Exotics wing.
What can I do? Thanks for any help. ☹️
