I've read a few of the GI stasis threads on here, but being the anal mommy I am, I have to make sure this is just normal belly sounds and not something serious.
Cucumber has been having loud belly noises for around an hour now. He was active this morning, and did some fun racing around the apartment a few short hours ago.
He also flopped under my desk and slept for a while.
That said, I was laying with him in his cage, and noticed the gurgling. He ended up stretching, yawning, then doing a full flop. He let me pet him all over and started what I think is tooth-purring, but I also know some teeth grinding can mean pain.
I got him to eat a few bits of hay, and he took two pellets from my hubby, but that's it.
Looking at his food, it doesn't look like he's eaten much hay today, but he ate half his pellets. I'm going to keep an eye on him and hope he gets a drink.
I might be over-analyzing, but I just want to be sure. I cannot remember seeing him drink today. He does have normal poos in his litter box from this morning.
The only thing that's changed is that I moved his litterbox over a bit as he pooed all over the cage last night and I wanted to correct the behavior. Did moving his box 1 foot to the left bother him that much?
Thank you all so much.
