Hi! Gus (once again) seems to be in a bit of a situation. During his body check today, i noticed he had clumps of poop stuck in him. He hasn’t been crying or making any noises out of the ordinary so i’m quite concerned on the little guy. He’s turning 3 this year. Any help would be great . i’m so sorry for the gross picture. He kicked up more of a fuss over the picture than he has over his bum!

You won’t be able to add pictures until your registration is completed behind the scenes.

Do you mean stuck inside his bottom?
If so, then that may be impaction.
The guide below will give further information, but please do see a vet. Impaction can occur when the anal muscles lose strength but this is generally older boars and at not quite 3 years old, he isn’t considered old.
Therefore, it’s important to sde a vet to make sure that is what you are dealing with and not a different health issue.
