I poured some of my rodent cage litter to flush down the drain and it absorbed the water and plugged the bowl. I plunged and plunged and eventually opened the drain, but now it won't flush. The flap in the bottom of the tank opens but no water empties into the bowl. I think I might have pushed some of the litter into the holes where the water comes down from the tank into the bowl. At least that's the only thing I can think of. Is there any way to clear this up? Or is there anything else it can be? I have to flush the toilet with a bucket of water poured into the bowl for now. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hey Steve,
I guess I don't have to tell you that dumping a litter box into your toilet wasn't the swiftest thing you've ever done. You are probably correct that instead of plunging the mess out in the main that you foe\rced it up into the flush valve and bowl rim.
What you're going to hafta do now is shut the water off to the toilet and remove the tank. Take a wire and force it around the rim and attempt to break up the clumps that are clogging the rim and the flush valve opening. Pull as much of the litter out as you can and try to clear the flush valve opening in the bowl. Stick the wire up in the rim holes to make sure they're clear. Once you have most of it removed pour water down the open hole in the bowl to test it out. Good luck, Tom
