I am very very glad to know it is quite common. I am glad you can put forward a vets opinion jen, it really does make me feel better. It makes me feel a little bit worried that he even needed a safe spot in the first place, but I never know what is going on in his head! He hasn't showed any other signs that his IBD is flaring up again, and hasn't been stressed as far as I can tell. He has been behaving like his old self, lots of cuddles and attention, and still lots of energy to play. He eats and drinks fine, I haven't checked on his poop, but he hasn't thrown up or gagged, or had loose poop stuck around his rear end. (which is usually a sign of band things to come). I will keep an extra eye on him over the next few days, I have been mixing extra filtered water into his food to try and keep him hydrated too.
