poo problem

abee_fell_ · 22-08-2009, 04:30 PM

Hiya,
just had my torts out for their bath and as Mustard's being having a poo, I noticed there is a hair stuck in the poo, he seems to be having problems passing the rest of the poo, its all stuck by his tail. I've got him soaking in the water still to try and encorage him to push a bit harder, anything else I can do quickly to get the poo and hair out of him? I'm really worried as he's so small don't want him to do any damage. Would if be ok to pull the hair out?

no dont pull

it may cause damage

you could snip the bit that is out with blunt round ended scissors

the rest will pass in time

Thanks Linda for your speedy reply, I've just dried him off and given it a snip. He's back with Honey in the home now, he doesn't seem to have noticed it, he's acting normal. Feel arwful though, looks like one of my hairs, it must off dropped on their food or something
