Heart beating through chest

[Kro523]

I have a piggie, her name is Lila, and I can see her heart beating. Like on the right side through her ribs, it’s two dusting pulses.

It looks sorta like that, but it’s only the right side. She’s eating, drinking, exercising, and just over all normal besides this.

I think it’s normal to see pulsing due to their breathing. Does she sound/look like she’s struggling or straining to breathe?

I would advise that you take her to the vet if you’re worried about anything. She can have a general health check and you can bring p any worries with the vet at the sane time.

Hiw long have you had her? And does she have a companion? Piggies are social animals so need the constant companion of their own kind. No amount of human interaction can replace that bond. And they really come out of themselves When they have Snothef piggy to talk to and just be with.

Yes! She has two other piggie friends but they’re bigger than she is, shes the smallest as she’s still young. Other than that she’s perfectly healthy

perfect! If she seems ok in herself and isn’t off her food or losing weight then she’s likely fine.

Any worries, the vet is best placed to help you.

Hi!

I would recommend to see a vet and have her heart checked. your vet may also want to look for ovarian cysts, in case a large one has become stuck to the gut.

I notice my pigs breathe harder when grazing, that's about all
