    Tegu impaction/constipation

    Hey - I just wanted to report an event we had with our 2 yr old male (Skully) this past weekend. He's O.K.....thank God! I noticed late last week that he hadn't gone to the bathroom. I didn't panic until - by Sunday - he really didn't look good. Eyes were dull, activity was zilch, and he was...
