Hey Brenden,
 
Welcome to the fml.  You are in the right place to get plenty of good
information.
 
You never said wether or not Klepto actualy went poo during her out time.
And we dont know how old Klepto is.
 
If Klepto is under three years old, chances are it is not inulimoma.  If
she has not gone poo she may have a blockage of some kind.  Check her
cage and make sure she is going.  Give her fresh litter and newspaper to
see how much she goes.  Also try to keep track of how much she is eating.
If she is blocked she will quit eating.  If that happens get her to an
emergency vet asap!!
 
A good thing to keep on hand is a cat hairball treatment, ferret lax or
just plain old vaseline.  These can sometimes work to move a blockage out
and it is good to give them a dose once a week during shedding season.
 
Anytime there is a change in Klepto's behaviour it is an indicator that
she needs to go the vet.  Many serious illness have the same symptoms and
sometimes only a blood test can tell the difference.
 
By the way, good job on noticing something different in Klepto and asking
questions!!!
 
HappyTails,
Karen and the Scruff You Gang
