    Possible obstruction

    My early 2013 BP seems to have some type of blockage in his rear end. He saved up a great big turd for me for about 1.5 months before passing it and it was a doozie. He passed both feces and a small urate.

    It's visible through his white belly scales, and is hard when I palpate his stomach. I plan on soaking him tomorrow morning and trying to massage it a bit. I'm also going to skip feeding him tonight.

    Does anyone else have any ideas? How long is too long to do home remedies?

    Re: Possible obstruction

    Soak it in warm water a few minutes and palpate it out.

    If there is a white clump of urate at the opening get that out first and then some liquid should come out.

    Then slowly work the turd out.
