Hey everyone. We found a baby by it’s dead mother about 1.5 weeks ago. We started him with Pedialyte and formula. We have been stimulating his peeing and pooping and he was doing great, even doing so on his own. I would estimate his age to about 5 weeks or so. Eyes open, and fairly mobile on his own.
Now it seems as though he became constipated and now other issues have formed. The best way to describe it is like a poop scab over his anus. I have been soaking him and massaging off the poop, which leaves him with a rather large looking butt hole, that seems/looks sore.
I can’t upload photos from my phone so I will try to post them ASAP but if anyone has any quick diagnoses/solutions that would be wonderful as I am becoming increasingly worried for him.
Again, photos wishing an hour or so, as long as I can figure out how to upload them.
