Constipation

[Aleksiss]

hello everyone
My pig went from soft poop to not popping at all.... I'm kinda scared ..
I've been giving the hay and veg and stuff that I was suggested in the previous topic but things somehow seem getting worse and I fear an intestinal block ...
He is still eating but the amount of poop has decreased incredibly and he sits on his litter but does nothing ... just pees ...

I have no vet to go to here in Malta for exotic pets please help... is there something I can give him ?

Please start syringing hand-warm water and mushed up pellets or recovery formula asap to prevent the guts and then the body from closing down through lack of nutrition. Our illustrated syringe feeding guide will take through everything: Complete Syringe Feeding Guide

Please see a general vet ASAP for painkillers and for an examination/scan to see what is wrong internally and whether it can be treated or not. Your boy sounds like he is in major pain and has stopped eating completely by now as poos usually take a day or two until they come out at the back; he needs to see whatever vet is willing to see him. Even a general vet is trained enough to spot major problems on an x-ray and with a hands-on examination!
