Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend veg that are safer to give to a guinea pig with mild bloat?
My girl Winniepeg has had a swolen tummy since she spent a few hours on the lawn last weekend. She is totally fine in herself, eating, pooing and up to mischeif, but she is definately a bit gassy - I'm guessing that the grass was a bit rich for her (altho my other 8 pigs all seem ok). I've got buscopan but havent given any yet as she doesn't seem in any discomfort. I haven't given her any veg since the weekend, just an abundance of hay and her normal burgess excel pellets which have vit C added. Her sides have gone down a bit, but not 100% back to normal.
I know gassy veg include cabbage, broccolli, kale, spring grass (the culprit). But I don't really know what 'safe' veg would be. She's pretty mad with me for taking her out of the colony whenever the others have their greens!
Thanks
Daisy
