Hello Everyone,
My 3-yr old lionhead, Buttercup, stopped pooping this morning. Last night he refused his nightly carrot and had limited stools. This morning he seemed normal (ate his banana slice and was running around). He's been eating his hay, pellets and drinking water all day, but has not pooped since 9:00 am (it is now 4:30 pm), but he is still peeing. His behavior seems normal other than the fact he is not producing any poop. I have seen him eat his cecotropes today as well.
The only thing I can think that would have caused his system to go haywire would be stress. Last night we had a couple friends over with their 1 yr old boy who was running around and screaming the whole night. Could this have caused enough stress to make him not poop? Will this go back to normal on its own or has anyone else had this experience?
Thanks much!
Elizabeth
