A while ago i wrote a thread about how he made "small noises" he sounded in pain and i ignored it making excuses on what it could be.
Now i'm worried it may be bladder stones,
He's still pooping fine and weeing also although I'm not sure if it's as much, i've not noticed andy blood, he's eating fine, drinking a bit more than usual but other than that i can't see much difference.
The other night i saw him basically dragging his bum on the floor and it looked like it was pulsing ? if that makes sense it would be moving up and down and as he was in a newly cleaned cage i was unsure if he was just scent marking or something.
Any ideas of what it could be ?
And is there anything else i should look out for ?

He has a vets appointment for 10 past 4 tomorrow so fingers crossed.
 
Bum dragging is scent marking behaviour. Pulsing...well we won't go there :))

rolleyes he got me worried for nothing then !
It was just his little pokey out bum was moving up and down and he was just moving around like a slug mallethead
Never mind hopefully we'll sort out his noises that he's been making !
 
Still not sure why he's been making these weird noises or drinking more, he's been tested for diabetes and was clear so that's good, also he's been given anti biotics for a week and has a check up appointment next week in the mean time I have to try and get a wee wee sample from him !
While we were there they checked his toothy pegs ! He got chewed up parsley all over the little scope thing she used rolleyes but they're all good too (:
