Grimm has had no bones for about 3 days. He strains to poop, and it is just a bit of soft poop. He is only getting: turkey meat, yogurt, brewers yeast, white rice, a tiny piece of liver the size of a fingernail (only once per day), tiny bit of kelp, and now salmon oil with vit. E.
He gets about 5 30 grams of turkey groundmeat per meal, twice a day. He is maybe(?)constipated as he does strain to go, tiny amount of soft stool, he is very thin, and seems lower on energy than is usual for him. What am I doing wrong?
I was already at the vets today for a big hotspot he has... the vet did NOT do an exam.. they don't do that here if you are on welfare, as you don't pay for "an exam" here.. you pay for each thing looked at-- like ears, eyes, etc.
The vet just did not have time for me... had me as a walk-in, and they were closing early. Grimm got antibiotics shot for the hotspot and antibiotic pills.. i will try to get some probiotics too, to prevent a flora problem from the ABx.
Ideas how I can feed him better? I will up his intake to 550 gramms twice a day. Tonight I want to give him a chicken drum with his ground turkey. Will that make constipation worse? I am not even really sure this is constipation-- he strains, and a bit of puddingy poop comes out.
He has had no bones in a few days. Thoughts?
