I was worried about Taco, since the d*%# weather has not been sunny enough or warm enough to put her out in her pen or even the sunporch, and I knew she was pretty constipated. It's been at least a week since I saw her poop.
So I followed the advice of someone here (Roachman?) on a recent thread and put about an inch of quite warm water into our bath tub (I test it with my wrist just like I did for babies), turned on the space heater so the air was also nice and warm, carried my baby gently upstairs and set her in it. Then I shut the door and gave her privacy for about 15 minutes.
When I came back in, well let's just say I was surprised at how much poo my little Princess Pinto Bean could actually stow in that little body of hers! Took me several large paper towels to remove the load before scrubbing the tub.
It's so nice to know she is emptied and comfortable. Now maybe her appetite will improve!
I feel so much better now!
