Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A blockage is definitely possible. Other possibilities include other gastrointestinal issues. I recommend you check in with your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can check for this and treat him accordingly. Best of luck!
