Possible regurge and/or diarrhea...HELP!

[RubixCube]

So I looked in Rubi's tub this morning to discover the following in his hide. I'm guessing this is a regurge. He's never refused food since I've had him and he ate about a week ago. Why would he do this? I can't figure out how to get the pic up but it was half whiteish/fleshy looking.

Also he seems to have diarrhea (which I also have a pic of). I'm going to collect his stool and take him to the vet on Monday unless there's one open tomorrow. He's had bowel movements several times this week but they seemed normal.

PS: If anyone can tell me how to put the pics up from my computer that would be extremely helpful.

Hi,

Well the first thing is to get them hosted somewhere online.

You can put them in your gallery here - this tutorial is a bit old but the basic procedure is the same I think.

And here is another one in video form that might also help.

You can also use a site like http://photobucket.com/

They should also have tutorials to help you.

If you still have trouble just ask any member of staff and we will do our best to get you sorted.

okay here's the regurge:

and the diarrhea:

There's a veterinary teaching hospital in my hometown so I called them and they said to bring him in tomorrow but it will cost like $200...anything for my baby.

both look like regular poop to me...

The "regurge" is about 6 in long and an inch wide and very mucous-y. The white doesn't look like the uric acid stones that usually accompany his poops. Is it okay for him to not have solid stools? The second picture is definitely not solid at all and is not like his normal poops. I'm also concerned that it's been a week since I fed him and for him just now to regurgitate his food...isn't this abnormal?

I can guarantee you it is not a regurge.

The "acid stones" you are describing are urates. They are pee. The brown turd is poop and the white gooey stuff is mouse fur.

Is the "diarrhea" liquidy or does it stick together?

That white one doesn't look like poop to me, it looks like a full mouse!

there is an easy way to tell if youve had a regurge... what did it smell like when you opened the tub? Poop or death?

It sticks together but his normal ones are usually harder. And the white stuff is definitely gooey. He's never had a bowel movement with the white gooey stuff before though.
