I have a male rat, 21 months old, named toffee and he was doing all good. But 4 days ago I noticed a little bloating of his belly, and next day the stomach was quite stiff, seems to be dried poop in the colon, he wasn't pooping like he did normally, his poop was very dry.
And from the last three days, he isn't sleeping!! I guess he's in pain.. I mean, yeah he does sleep sometimes with a little eye open.. but what it seems to me, he isn't sleeping I gave him some meds today, A laxative and now his poop is watery. But still the stiffness isn't going much, the stiff colon seems to be just a little bit less in size than before. Please help!! What should I do. I'm concerned that he is not sleeping and ..it would be horrible if he continues not to. There's no vet in my area.
He's eating fine, I fed him quite a lot watermelons, he doesn't like to drink much water and maybe that's a cause for the problem.. so I fed him watermelons, bit of tomatoes, and boiled mashed potatoes.
I noticed something unusual like, in the evening, his poop has become really red, not like dark maroon red, but yeah, quite red and watery.. do you think it's because of watermelon??
Please please help.!!
I'm to blame, I haven't been a good caretaker.
