HELP bloated baby ball regurging

XtremeXteriors Apr 15, 2006 06:31 PM

maybe some of you remember groucho,well the last 2x I have fed her she has regurged 1 day later and this has never been a problem b4. I have noticed that she looked INCREDIBLY bloated in the last 3rd of her body like she had a massive poop in her so I soaked her in warm water today and tried massaging the area and in there was a large amount of i guess pent up gas coming out (farts)with VERY loose stool splotches in it but nothing defined as an actual poop could that have caused her to get backed up enough to regurge???

Flagyl should solve most of the digestion problems. Thanks David

I had the same problem with a female I had recently purchased. She was from a well respected breeder so I figured it was not parasites. I did the same as you and soaked her. I fed her extra small meals for a few weeks and now she is doing fine. In my case I think it was due to feeding her a larger meal than she was used to. When I received her she had not been fed in over a month, and she was only being fed rat pinkies. She was about 200g so I figured she could easily take an adult mouse, but I guess I was wrong. I think her stomach was just not ready to digest a larger sized meal. Anyway, I would try a very small meal and see what happens if she still regurges I would go to the vet.
