I don’t want to have to deal with the bloat again. Tia
Low calcium low bloat risk vegetables?

@EJMA82 What caused the bloat last time?
It's really frustrating but there isn't an exact way to avoid bloat as different foods set off different pigs.
I've had a pig who couldn't eat green pepper. Another couldn't eat tomato. I have a pig currently who can't eat most veg, only lettice and carrot.

We’re not sure 
but it was really scary and I nearly lost my boy. I’m going to stay away from anything like cabbage/kale/spinach broccoli and greens etc and switch to the grainless pellets. I can’t think of anything different they had eaten before the event. Vet says it just happens sometimes but I want to minimise any reoccurrence as much as possible. He’s only 4 and I’ve had him from 5 weeks old. Pictures are bloated then 5 days after treatment started,then snuggles in his favourite Harry Potter fleece blanket.
