Ok a little worried now.. Garfs stomach is making some pretty loud gurgling noises- is this bad? He's been eating today and just had a snack yet it's still gurgling.
Is this just gas or a sign of something more serious? The only thing he's had different today is some goo mixes from zooplus - which he's had before?

Is he pooing normally?

Not sure, there's so much poop around it's either Tibbs or Garfs.
That's my concern that there's a blockage but surely he'd lose his appetite completely if he had a upset tummy?

He's gone to bed on his snugglesafe, gave him a tummy massage. All I can do for now? Will update in the morning. I have a sneaky feeling he's gotten into my nut stash 🙄

Hopefully he'll sleep tonight, may just have a unsettled stomach if he's been naughty snacking! Poor little lad, i'm sure his tummy rub made him feel much better  |

My girl Shi has this too – but it always follows with her bloating up.
You might want to give him a drop of Ovol (Simethicone emulsion for babies – helps relieve gas). You can add it to a bit of soft food. It will do no harm and will relieve any gas that may be building up inside of him.
They will lose their appetite but usually only when they are extremely bloated. Better not to wait until then – otherwise you will need to syringe feed the Ovol.
Also, if this continues (not a one time thing), I would take him to see a vet. An x-ray will show if there is gas or other blockage.

I would try and find a poo to have a look at and sniff. If in doubt Vetark Pro-C and/or some Critical Care or Supreme recovery might help. If you watch him breathing you should notice if he is mouth breathing and taking in air. It might be nothing.
