Hi,
The usual "I am not a vet" disclaimer applies, but I've been through this
before...
This sounds like it could be an intestinal blockage. I would get Popeye to the
vet ASAP. The vet will probably do a radiograph (X-ray) to see if it's a
blockage.
I'm sure some on here with more expertise than I have will have other ideas,
but whatever it is, I think a vet visit is urgently needed.
Regards,
Caity
