What ever happened? You had a rhino ig with an impaction right? Did you check out the Cyclura Forum? What did the vet say about simple enemas?
Still NO pooping? Your ig may require surgery, to remove the impaction. Here's an article on impaction...even tho its a snake still relates...
Gee whiz..did you try the prune juice and warm soaks, tummy massages....impactions either treated by enemas or surgery....mineral oil and this other stuff (prune juice) effective with constipation type problems...how long has it been since your ig went poop? If the RX the vet gave you isn't working....Either get another reptile vet opinion....or consult with your vet about enemas & surgery....THIS IS NOTHIN TO MESS AROUND WITH AT HOME/ ONLINE ADVICE ISN'T WORTH THE WAIT....Get aggressive..TALK TO YOUR VET! Sorry to sound harsh...but I wonderin what are you waiting for?
