Default Axel's floating bum
Hi all, I don't know whether to be concerned or not, but last week Axel's bum and hind legs were buoyant, while his front end was still very much attached to the floor. This seemed to distress him but only lasted for about a day. Should I be concerned?

Thanks,

sometimes they do this Wreckgar....it could be it swallowed to much air or it just needs a poo. Sometimes they also just like to float....

Usually a slight bum-float is warning that poo is imminent. If it's having trouble staying upright, or staying on the ground, then you can worry. But if it's only a bit of floating, and only for a little while and then goes away, I'd chalk it up to poo.
