More scour issues in littlest guy. Scours and Sloshy. *MONDAY UPDATE*

Under these circumstances at what point should I be concerned that I'm not seeing him poop? Do you think it's ok to let him ride out today before taking any kind of action? I'll likey give him an enema again before I try any other treatment simply because I don't want to mess with his gut any more than I already have.

Well, I don't normally pay close attention to when/how many times a kid poops just because they're normally out in a pen and I don't stay out there for extended lengths of time (if the kid was in my house I would notice. LOL). I normally only worry about constipation if a kid refuses a bottle (which is odd, so I know something might be up). And I agree w/ trying an enema before any more feed-through treatments.

How long has it been since you've since a BM? If this guy practically emptied out his bowels I wouldn't think it would be unusual to see no poop for awhile. He's been through a lot - and no I don't blame you for the treatments, but I might just see how it goes with just the milk now. You might try what mom does - taking a warm wet cloth and rubbing his rear end.

I'd give him til tomorrow night to poop (as long as he's acting normal) and then give the enema. If he refuses a bottle / acts 'off' do the enema sooner.

Glad he's improving!
