Hi y'all, sorry to bomb you with questions lately, just wanted to check if anyone had a similar thing happen to a piggy.
So, lately I've been out picking grass and foraging easy plants for the piggies (adjusting their diet after one developed a f*ckload of bladder stones) and they have loved the change. I thought I was being cautious enough giving them grass after winter, but... A few minutes after finishing his bunch, Surma lays out a very bad looking soft poop, then hunches, starts crying and straining. Looked like he was "retching" too. I was sitting right next to him so it all happened in the space of a few minutes. Scared the life out of me. I picked him up and he was suddenly super bloated, and crying
Rushed him to the bathroom and gave him 4 drops of gas relief for babies.
I had him on my chest for a while, and he was looking miserable. Then all at once he started pooping like a machine gun, I'm saying like 15 poops in a row.
Clearly something caused some kind of blockage, and it luckily removed itself rather quickly, a half hour max for the entire ordeal. He was completely normal after that and still is. What in the world? The only different plant that was in the mix was yarrow, only a few leaves though.
