So sorry I typed a really long reply and when I submitted it, it went phutt!

Thanks all for replying, especially thanks to Sal..

I can see from your post that you know what you are talking about and I feel sure now that he has Chronic colitis.. he still won't eat apart from two pea size pieces of steamed chicken that I force fed him this morning... nothing is tempting him, not even prawns but then if he is blaming food for his pain then I can understand that. He is a tiny little thing and can't afford to lose weight, his brother on the other hand is twice his size, well it seems that way - 7 & 10lbs. Spid is right, in that there was no contact with the breeder but you wouldn't not rescue them even if you knew they had PKD would you!? I did question it at the time but couldn't leave them there, once I'd seen them in those tiny cages :-(

At least he isn't hiding in his tunnel any longer, just hope the test results tomorrow don't show anything more sinister, at least if it is an infection they will know what antibiotics to use. He did eat some parts of a lizard just before all of this started!!! We live in Spain now btw.

I will post results asap so you know what is going on.

Sorry this post isn't as informative as the previous one I typed but I've now run out of time!

Thanks again to all of you, so glad someone told me to check on here.
