Two siblings live together. This timid one is mounted upon by the other slimmer male one. He is very nervous and will squeal and run away when the vet tries to handle him.

X-ray shows gas in the stomach and intestines. In-patient overnight at Toa Payoh Vets with no stress. Owner saw that his faecal pellets are numerous and much bigger in size. A good sign of recovery.

Owner is advised to separate him from the other so that he can rest for one month. The other sibling keeps squealing looking for him.
