Question about poo.. (Kinda gross)

[4Taylor20]

I am just curious as to what is wrong with Dos, my syrian. She declined so so rapidly its actually scary. She is shaking, cant walk without tipping over, and just is very weak. She cant open her eyes, and also there is something VERY wrong with her intestines/bowels. The poo problem is my main concern, as ive never heard of this happening. Im very confused as to what is causing this, the other symptoms i can assume is old age but this is just very strange. She seems to just be too weak to push, and all of her feces just builds up near her bum/ inside of her. It is wet and there is a lot and it just isnt coming out. I noticed it yesterday when i thought she had just a little poo stuck to her that she couldnt get to, and when i pulled on it with a tweezers, this huge gunk of it just came out and it just kept on and it was so disgusting and confusing, and now again she has the same problem. And they seem to be painful because she is really stretched out after i help her get it all out and clean her up with a damp cotton ball. Im not sure what i can do to help her, i would just like to know if this is common/ what this is.. thank you

Hi. I think she should see a vet to see what is going on. She doesn't sound well. She might have an intestinal blockage or maybe some nerve or muscular thing that is stopping her bowel/muscles working, or just have some other condition that is affecting her nerves/muscles.

It's not common no, there are various things that could be going on but I don't think this is something you can deal with without the help of a vet, guessing at what it might be really isn't going to help her, try & get her to the vet as soon as you can.
