Yeah we've been bathing him in warmer water and have been giving him small massages after or during his bath. And his bowl is big enough for him to curl up into it, he also ate last saturday, I don't really want to feed him until he's done a decent poo as I don't want it to compact up more, but if he hasn't I was thinking of waiting till wednesday to feed him maybe, and the last time he pooed was about a week ago, and I know that's fine but he's been straining every time I see him try to go and it becomes red just inside his vent and something popped out once from him straining so bad, plus the area before his vent bulges like he has something to pass through so it's obvious he needs to go but can't. I'm thinking of taking him to the vets if it carries on much longer, but I just don't like the thought of him being roughed about too much and prefer trying more natural ways to get him to go that him being given something.
