Given that he=E2=80=99s still very young, and urinating properly, I=E2=80=
=99d think that the most likely problem is that he has either a furball tha=
t=E2=80=99s been building up, or else he swallowed some other object, possi=
bly shreds of bedding or the paper pellets you use in the litter box area. =
Try mixing some slippery elm bark powder in with the soup you=E2=80=99re g=
iving him, and also try ferretlax for 3 days, per the instructions on the t=
ube.=20
There may also be some inflammation of his digestive tract at this point. =
Ask your vet about a short term use of a steroid like prednisolone to possi=
bly help alleviate that problem.=20
