New Born Pup
Does anybody have some experience with this sort of movement and noise from our pig Jerry? He’s 2 1/2years old, is fine within himself and still eating, drinking, playing and handling well but has episodes of this wincing, sometimes accompanied by a noise. (See video for three of these, arguably the worse of incidences we’ve experience)
These usually come in 2s or 3s and although he looks uncomfortable during the episodes he’s then back to his usual self.
These started a week ago so after 2 days we took him to the Vet who couldn’t feel any lumps, said he was handling well, and inspected one of his poos which was fine. Was given some anti-inflammatory to take for three days and then the episodes seemed to stop. A further 3 days on from that, they have come back! No signs of any colour in urine, we’ve seen him wee without wincing twice but can’t rule out a UTI / bladder stone.
Any input / experience on this would be greatly appreciated, the vet said the next step would be to sedate and X-ray him (which seems a bit extreme?).
I understand this thread is only for advice and should not replace a Vet consultation, just after any tips on this![smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
