Another Sticky Poo Question for Sows

[Logiebear]

This time its for a couple of sows. They came to me yesterday and are nearly 3 yrs old. They are both big at over 1.2kgs each, abby crosses and are not eating much. They are drinking too.

They are both producing large balls of sticky poo, not even remotely pellet shaped! They are so messy on their bums, I gave them baths when they arrived yesterday but over night they have gotten messy again!

Any advice on what it could be?

hi hope your well it sounds like they have gut problems **** because there not really eating ive had this a few times in guinea which have come into me,try putting them on probiotics and limited veg for a couple of days and poss syringe feds of recovery or mushed pellets this will help to get there gut working faster in cases ive had here they needed a gut stimulant from the vets via injection and meds 3 times a day for a few days..also how are there teeth front ones if there slanted,broken this indicates problems with there back teeth and could explain why there not eating/much x
