    Default Constipation in Older Squirrels

    Hey Y'all! The is Squirrel is about 8 years old and is having some difficulty passing poop. She peed twice this morning, but struggled to poop two hard poops. I see her occasionally try to poop some more and isn't productive. Other than that, she is acting normally like herself and gets around okay. I've encouraged her to drink water and she just drank a whole lot!! Is there anything I can give her to make her bowel movements normal again? I know grapes aren't the best, but would that help? Also, she is having mild allergy symptoms, but this seems to be a constant thing. Thank you for your help! Squirrels rule the world.

    Is this a captive squirrel or a wild squirrel?

    Can you post a picture?

    If this is a captive squirrel, what does her diet consist of? (Please list everything.)

    Has there been any recent change in the food that she is given?

    Is there any chance that she has gotten into anything that she shouldn't?
