arching back when pooping

[MrsM]

I put Finlay and Frankkie on the lawn this afternoon as it was so lovely. The grass has now been mowed twice, so I'm hoping it's not still too rich...

I have just heard someone's tummy being very rumbly (Finlay I think) and seen him arch his back upwards when pooping... I think it was a vita poo as he has just proceeded in eating it with delight!.

Should I be worried? he is still really big despite cutting the dry food to 1/4, upping the hay, limiting the veggies and increasing floor time.... during which he dutifully eats Oliver's play mats!

Well, if he doesn't seem to be in any pain, it shouldn't be anything to worry about

I'm not sure if he was grunting whilst pushing or if it wa his tummy rumbling (like when you have gas.. rolleyes).

He's now nise deep in his muesli... I haaven't given too much veggie tonight cos he tends to have soft poops after grass anyway... so I thought I'd give them a bit of nice food to compensate

My Willow also gets soft poo and gas quite a bit too rolleyes. I give her some probiotic for that.

 

[MrsM]

good idea, I hadn't thought of that...

Audrey did you get some probiotics and how's little Finlay? :...

P@H sell Vet Ark Pro- C probiotic. It's excellent. You could also give gripe water to alleviate gas.
