Signs of Impaction?

[ColinAbi]

What are some signs of impaction. My Argentine B&W looks like he is breathing harder and faster, looks like he trying to swallow something or like someone having hiccups.

Well, he just looked like he was about to throw up after he drank some water.

just hold him for a while every day and never take him out of his hide or burrow

 

[ColinAbi]

Ok sometimes I do take him out of his hide so I wont do this anymore.

 

[ColinAbi]

Should I soak him in warm water if he is impacted?

 

[Logan]

yea and kinda rub his belly

 

[ColinAbi]

Ok, thanks for answering my questions.

My boy was impacted. He would look like he was trying to relieve himself by doing a butt raised potty dance and nothing would come out. I made sure he drank water each day and would take him for warm baths for 20-30 mins. The warmth of the water helps stimulate their digestion i believe because after a few times he let it all go. Make sure the water is not to high above his body and not to high in temperature. Soft foods would help to if he is still chowing down. (Ground turkey, fruits some eggs)
