He hasn’t done a poo in 2 days

Phoenix

Glad Merlin is better.
That'll teach me to read ALL the posts.

He needs to go to the vet. If your regular one is closed over the weekend/Bank Holiday Monday, try the vet at Pets at Home. DS finds them very good. Hope Merlin is better soon, let us know.

Slightly off piste, but I remember one of the sign offs in The Two Ronnies, "News just in of a new book published by a disillusioned vet, called "All Creatures Grunt & Smell"!

sarahcyn can't say that I'm particularly obsessed with Oliver Sprout or Minnies read ends, even though they seem determined to keep showing them to me

And another thought, perhaps Merlin should now be classified as a Cockernotmuchpoo?

I'll get me coat..............

I get a bit obsessed with Merlin's rear end - as you do

So glad to hear he's better x

There you go, "scooting" = "flop bot"!

In the series "All Creatures Great & Small" there was a Pekinese, called Tricki Woo, owned by Mrs Pumphrey. She was always concerned when he had flop bot or went crackerdog!

Many thanks to you all from me and Merlin. Happy to report ?? today and much more lively.
Phoenix you mentioned anal glands - used to be a problem - every 6 weeks to the vet - scooting etc :-( - then we went raw and absolutely no problems ever since in that department
Woof!

Poor chap must be so uncomfortable was the small amount he did look normal to you or did it look "forced",do you have a PDSA clinic near you where you can take him my neighbour takes her dog to their clinics and pays a donation for treatment they are very very good.I hope he is better soon they are so precious to us aren't they.

Refusing to walk a bad sign unless he's really old and tired. Vet asap I think. Best wishes to you and the wee fellow.

Vet - even the emergency one -do not delay.

Not sure what a “flop bot” is
He did a small one yesterday
If he doesn’t poo normally today I’ll call the emergency vet £££&£&£

Off to the vets. These babies are precious. x

I agree with other posters 're visit to the vet, but spaniels tend to be prone to anal gland problems, so it could be that. (Still need to see the vet though!)

Is he going what Mrs Pumphrey would have referred to as "flop bot"?

Hope you have been to the vet and that everything is all right now. Keep us posted!

We pet lovers worry about others' pets, you know.

Do not attempt to treat him yourself- you need professional help.

Definitely the vet, sooner rather than later sarahcyn Why do our pets become ill at weekends and bank holidays ?

I agree withslowcooker !

Could be a torsion of the bowel OR he could have eaten something like a sock which has blocked him up .

I agree, take him to the vet, not worth the risk of being something serious.

Straight to the vet, could be a serious blockage.
Good luck.
