Pooping and possible UTI issues??

[Babysquirrelmama]

Max seems to be doing great overall. Plenty of energy, eating well, hydrating fairly well...but still isn't really pooping near as much as what he probably should. We rescued him last Tuesday night 10/22...hydrated for first 12-18hrs, then began FV 20/50. Started antibiotics Wed 10/23 and yogurt for probiotics. Eating 4-5cc every 4-5hrs...hydrating with at least 1-2ccs in between. Gave gas-x Saturday and reduced FV 20/50 to 3 to 1 to help with pooping and belly is going down in between feedings but still only producing very small, hard black poops (still from mom?) after 5 days on formula. Caught him straining yesterday, helped him just to get out a little nugget...still small, black and hard. Adding a little Karo syrup to water to help, but still no decent stool. Now, this morning during feeding, I noticed some inflammation to the left of his genitals...seems a little hard. Any advice to what this may be? Uti maybe? But he's already on antibiotics? Should I back off on formula and just hydrate for a period of time? Ugh, advice please?

My apologies. Im new to the forum and after posting here...I now realize that I probably should've posted in the non-emergency section. I promise, I'll get better at navigating all of this. 🤦*♀️

No worries all good info, I'm bumping your thread so others will be able to help. I'm just not sure.

Could he possibly be pooping and eating it?? I haven't seen him do it but I'm dumbfounded at this point as to why he's not producing 🤔
