Junior Guinea Pig
My eldest boar, the lovely little Elliot has anal impaction. So far we have managed to remove the impaction successfully. It gets so big though and when it's coming out it must hurt my poor boy
How often do you remove? The first time I did it the faeces weren't that firm and it was hard getting the whole thing out in one go. It was such a fiddle with the cotton wool and it came out in bits. Last night though, when it was time to do it again, I massaged the area, and after a few tries, out it popped. Bleeeurgh!
I read somewhere that the piggy may want to eat their poopies to maintain their wellbeing, so I offered the stinky lump of poo to Elliot. Him being a boy of a certain class, turned his nose up at it.
Should I be offering Elliot something else, like a vitamin in place of his nutritional poo? If so, where can I get such a thing suitable for my piggy from?
Thanks![smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
