Early signs of failure to pass meconium may
include restlessness, tail swishing, frequent posturing to
defaecate, tail elevation and disinterest in sucking (Madigan
1994). Advanced cases may be presented with abdominal
distention and other clinical signs of colic. Most impactions are
located in the small colon at the pelvic inlet, but can also be
located in the dorsal or transverse colon.(Pusterla)
