That's nothing to be overly concerned about. Mickey will go soon especially if he's eating normally. I recommend taking him out in the yard frequently and going for short walks as this will stimulate the intestinal tract. Unless he is straining to poop you can wait two days without it being a problem. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Mickey.
