    Mixed Symptoms--Constipation, Impaction, Brumation, or Just Trying to Make Me Worry

    So, I took Gurgi to the vet a few months ago because he was constantly swallowing at bedtime, and I had read that could be a respiratory infection, and she said he was constipated. I was really surprised because he was pooping regularly. She gave me a laxative, and I gave it to him 1-2 times a...
