The warm soak is a good place to start. I recommend that

while in that soak you gently massage the lower half of the

torso (where the intestinal track is) for at least five minutes.



Keep adding hot water to the soak for the 15 minute

soaking duration so that the water remains good and

warm so as to be more effective. After the soak be

sure to dry it off good, especially the tail (between the

tail whorls/spikes).



Lastly, give it approximately 1/2 ml (1/2 cc) of vegetable

oil orally. If you have some other cooking oil handy you

can also use canola or olive oil as an alternate. This dose

should be good for a subadult to adult size medium to

larger size uro (mali, saharan etc). If you don't have an oral

syringe with cc or ml increments, you can give it 8-10 drops

with a plastic eye dropper. Do not use a glass eye dropper

as they can easily bite down on it and shatter it.



Then put it back under the basking light so that he dries

off completely with the cage heat.



I've found this natural laxative to work quite well for

intestinal blockage with great success. He may not pass

anything for a day but chances are good that he will

sooner than later.
