Hey Andee,
I have many multiple posts previous to this. I didn't realize you guys like to just continue one long post until someone pointed it out to me.
So anyways, it all started back in July. I noticed he didn't pooped for a while. He actually never had been a good pooper. He would go every 1-2 weeks only. Well back at the end of July it was going on 3 weeks. He also wasn't eating well. So I made his first vet appointment. We did x-rays and his exam showed a fecal impaction. He got a enema, but nothing was produced. He was put on Cisapride to help move things through. The very next day I woke to him not gripping with his back legs at all. My vet then prescribed the Metacam because she thought he was painful.
Moving along with the story he has had 3 enemas, was also prescribed Metaclopermide and Tramadol as well. Still nothing. She always wanted me to push hydration, so he gets showered and oral fluids as well. He even had Sub-q fluids once. He wasn't on the Tramadol long because he started open mouth gapping it. That stopped once the med stopped.
On the 19th of this month I came home from work to find that he had diarrhea ALL over his enclosure. There was even a touch of blood in it. Hence, the term diarrhea explosion. He pooped a tiny amount last Thursday as well.
I just got off the phone with my vet and she isn't to worried yet. She completely agreed with what you said Andee. It may just take a little longer to get things moving. So that is where we are at. She did start him on a kidney supplement to help support them.
This is a very short version of everything that has been going on. If you have any further questions just let me know.
