Strong stomach contractions after pooping
« on: October 10, 2013, 10:21:47 pm »
Some rather odd movements from my boys over the last few days where after they've pooped it looks like our cats do when they're about to chuck  up grass.  After they've finished the poo their sides and back end kind of contract like a dry heave (or dare I suggest possibly an orgasm?!!!) but nothing further comes out. 

There's been the odd slightly sloppy poo from them both but 90% of it is perfect little single berries.  They're eating and drinking fine and running around and playing about like nutters like normal and chatting away to each other and to us, so everything else seems to be normal apart from this odd movement.  Any ideas anyone?

I think your suggestion in brackets may be more likely.... even if they have been done, they don't necessarily know that... do they not jump on each other sometimes? My wethers certainly do that...

Is there any possibility that they are slightly constipated? With them arching their back and straining, it sounds a little like it to me. Also, you say every bit of poo is a perfect hard berry.
