Constipation

Postby blueylover » Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:45 am

Hey everyone! I'm wondering if other bluey owners have experienced this:
My Northern BTS (5 yrs old) has been brumating the last couple months. She's recently started to eat small portions of food again.
Just now she started trying to poo but had a really hard time of it. I could see she was straining. She ended up not being able to get the poo out and just retracted it.
Is this normal after brumation or should I take her to the vet?

See if she goes by tomorrow and if not try a warm water soak. Usually the warm water will help them go. Make sure the water is shallow enough for it to stand in and not submerge its head.
