Diarrhea?

[GuineaPigLover7891]

Hi! I have two boars. Recently I’ve noticed some soft stool, but thought nothing of it. I was actually kind of glad because before they had dry stool. I think it is Carmal who has these stools, though I could be wrong. Today I saw some poo in the food bowl. I went to dump it out, only to find it was stuck to the bottom. These were the softest poops I’ve seen so far! Sorry I won’t be able to post any pictures till tomorrow. They are still drinking plenty of water. Please help!

Thank you in advance!

Please take your piggies off any fresh food and switch from weighing once weekly as part of their regular health monitoring to weighing daily at the same time.

If the poos are showing signs of normalising, then stay off fresh veg and introduce it gradually again once the poos have been normal for at least 24 hours.
See a vet promptly if you notice weight loss, if the poos don't normalise or if problems recur. See a straight way if a piggy of yours has diarrhea (runny poos) and not just soft poos.
