My 1 1/2 year old male is squeaking occassionally when he poos/wees. The thing is, whenever he's squeaked, he's pood and peed simultaneously, so i'm not really sure which it is. He's also been dragging his bum across the floor (towels/fleece) and yesterday I could see him actively trying to push a poo out.
I took him to the vet today but there's no way to be sure what the problem is. We've scheduled him for an xray on Tuesday in case it is a bladder stone. However, the pushing suggests it might be a digestive issue.
He's eating, moving and drinking the same amount as always, and weight is the same. The only difference is that he's not as into his veg as he was before and now eats more hay and kibbles, which could mean that his poops are drier and therefore more difficult to pass... ???
Does anyone recognise these symptoms to help us along with a diagnosis? Or anything we can do in the meantime to make him comfortable/fight this???
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!!!
