Sheldon

Ugh. What is going on in my colony lately? I have never had so many problems!
Ok I have an idea what this is but I don't want to say it out loud until I've heard other opinions. On Saturday at some point Sheldon began acting very strangely. She will whip around suddenly and squeal as if in pain, looking at her backside as she does. Feeling her all over yields little to no information. Today I noticed she is grabbing the last inch of her tail after many of the squeaks and grooming it like crazy.
I thought she might be constipated so I palpated her stool out, which definitely seemed to cause some discomfort no matter how careful I was. I have been giving her daily metacam since Saturday but the shrieks are getting worse (or maybe they are just bothering me more) so I added tramadol tonight. Any info, opinions, or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks
