Dung Nuts

A condition where the contents of a Daulka's waste pouch are hard, lumpy and very hard to pass (that one stage just before full blown constipation).

Symptoms

The base of the tail will feel 'full' and may even feel 'lumpy'. Redness around the anus may be present and in extreme cases the pouch will be quite swollen, forcing the tail to be lifted upwards (high tail).

Causes

Poor diet and/or hydration. An imbalance with gut flora may also be a cause. Another likely culprit is if the individual ate a few Gut Busters, but not enough to cause death.

Treatment

Similar to the condition Pouch packed.
