hi guys. my piggy who had the head twitch problem i gave her 0.4 ml of 2.5% panacur 7 days ago and she was doing much better however, we noticed today that she hasn't been eating her veg but she's eating her pellets and hay which is good. She is also not pooping much and poops like she is constipated. it's 9 pm here so i can't consult any vet too. Can someone please help what is happening
 
Lack of poop means she wasn’t eating much a day or two ago. How has her weight been - stable or losing?

i checked her weight in the morning it was 890 grams (her normal weight is aroung 900grams) and i checked her weight in the evening it was 900 grams so i guess she is stable

You shouldn’t weigh more than once in a day as there will be fluctuations. Had you stopped weighing her daily? You can’t know how much hay she’s eating aside from weighing daily for now as she’s off colour. Watermelons are veg and pellets don't contain a lot of fibre, she needs to be scoffing on hay. Could you get her some fresh grass?

yes i give all my piggies some wheatgrass everyday in place of their morning cucumber do i need to give her some more?
 
I’m not sure. As said you need to weigh daily (at the same time and just once) and see if she needs topping up.
