Junior Guinea Pig
Hi
Just wanted a little bit of advice! my 3.5 year old pig Porky lost his cage mate about 3 weeks ago to severe bloat. Since then he has been eating and drinking fine and running around, although he had a hard tummy and a couple of smallish poops a couple of weeks ago, I gave him some gripe water and it went away on it’s own. I did take him to the vets to get checked over and she said she could feel a gas bubble, did an X-ray and it came back fine. She advised to weigh him weekly to check if he was losing weight. He hasn’t lost weight but I keep seeing these poops with holes in them every now and then. His belly is soft and he is completely normal. I wondered if him now being alone is making him stressed and causing the mild bloating? Is this possible? I want to get him another friend in the near future
