Hello
So I fed my 2 boars around 9 am today and they (of course) both seemed very happy eating.
After about 30 minutes I came back to check on them and they both looked a bit larger. I immediately thought that it could be bloat so I took the boar I thought it looked worse on and did the "bloat tests" I had found on the internet.
They both don't show any signs of pain when I touch their bellies, but they are semi-hard. I tried the flicking test to see if their belly sounds hollow and every 4th or 5th flick there was a slight hollowness, but it really wasn't very often. They are both eating hay and aren't showing any signs of lethargy and/or inactivity.
They will both be going to the vet anyway within the hour, but I would love some help and insight.
Thanks
