Where in CA are you? How is he housed? Indoors or outside? What is his over night temperature? What is he impacted with?
Thank you so much for you reply and help. I did forget to mention that he’s been eating guavas that fall from the tree. I clean up the falling fruit everyday. However, there are fruits that fall when I’m at work and he manages to eat them while I’m gone.
Isn't guava the one that has that very large seed? Is it possible that he has eaten a seed and become blocked?
Yeah, that’s why I sweep them all up when I’m home. The seeds are about as big as and apple seed or smaller. No matter how much I sweep, there’s a few that fall when I’m at work.
I soak him in about 85 degrees of warm water for 2 hours
Oh no, that's not the fruit I was thinking about. If he eats those tiny seeds it wouldn't be a problem. I was confusing it with mango.
Try warmer water, at 90 degrees. That's how hot it is in Kingston, Jamaica right now.
Lucky you. We need warmth !
I’m in Southern California. He lives in the backyard and I house him in a night box at night. With a temperature of 85 degrees. With an outside temp at 55 degrees in tha AM’s. I open his door about 8am and by noon it’s 80 degrees. I’m thinking he might be impacted by the the seeds of fallen guava. I sweep all the guavas when I get home from work, however, when I go back to work come back home. There’s always fallen guava. He hasn’t eaten, and pooed in a week and a half. I just been soaking in warm water daily. I also have been massaging around his tail area as someone suggested in the forum.
Wha gwan sistah Tammy. Will try JA temps tomorrow. Bless up!
