My Eevie Marjorie has diarrhoea. I have just noticed it tonight. At first I thought it was just a poop that got wet and stood on but there is a little bit on her bum and it definitely is diarrhoea. There is no smell to it though and She's eating, drinking normally and popcorning shall I take her to emergency vets in morning or shall I take her off all veg and see if it clears up? i don't want to leave it if it's something serious. None of my other piggies have got it and she's never had it before (only had her about 2 weeks)

@Wiebke @sport_billy @VickiA @Tim Please help!
 
I'm sorry but I have no more advice than what you have done already. That is restrict her veggies and seek a vet. Paws crossed for your girl xx

@Stayc1989 Is it a loose stool or diarrhea, diarrhea would be a complete water and a medical emergency, she would need to see a vet immediately. For loose squishy poo's but ones that have form then take her of veg and feed just hay and pellets. Has she ain't anything out of the ordinary? or been on the grass?
 
@Stayc1989 if it is diarrhoea then she needs to see the emergency vet today.
If it is just soft poo then cut out all veg, fruit, grass. Feed only hay, pellets and water. If no better then she needs to see a vet in normal hours tomorrow.
 
When I finished work last night I cleaned them out and Her bum wet was with diarrhoea and I noticed abit coming from her bum but didn't notice anything in her bedding when I was cleaning them out. when I put her back in she did some like cow pat poops I've been up all night keeping an eye on her and now it's hardened up a little bit and are now formed poops but look really soft. I think it could have been a small piece of baby corn that's upset her tummy. She's still eating drinking and popcorning.
