One of my male piggies (will be 5 in April) is impacted. I was cuddling him today (as always) and gently squeezed out a couple of poos. There seemed to be a bigger lumpy poo still in there, I gently tried to ease it out, but he squeaked and I didn't want to hurt him so I've left it..
Is impaction life threatening? I know, probably a stupid question - but they need to eat their "special" poos.
Are piggies able to help themselves when they're impacted? (Obviously not as beneficial as what a human would)
I don't mind doing it - but it's pretty disgusting.
Will he need it cleaned out every few days for the rest of his life as the muscles are weakened?
Poor guy!
What on earth do they do in the wild? ?
