Another question

Fener1 Jun 09, 2006 08:37 PM

I rehydrated him the other day and I think that he is eating a little b/c he is refusing his pedilyte now but he's not eating great. Also I haven't seen him poop yet. How long do you think that I should wait before being even more concerned than I am now. He is moving around the tank better (more like him self) and is more active but i'm still concerned.

Any ideas???

If he hasn't gone once since you had him which I think is 3 weeks,now that you gave him some pedialyte for a few days I wouldn't wait any longer then Sunday night and if he still hasn't pooped take him to vet first thing Monday morning,as there could be something wrong with him.Hopefully he'll go for you soon.

Give him a week from the first time you gave him the pedialyte.I bet he'll go soon,he's not eating much so his belly isn't full and needing to make room.If he doesn't by then you should call vet for an appointment just to make sure it's nothing serious.
