Got my girl out today and plopped her on the bed whilst I dried my hair. She sat still waiting for me to finish, then when I unplugged the drier she woddled towards me and I heard the almightiest of gurgles! It was like it came from an adult human it was really really loud! She had a drip of infacol because she has recurring bloat, I noticed she was gassy about 3 days ago, but her shape looks much much better!

Half of me hopes it was a really satisfying parp.

She even mumbled something after (not a warning or worried sound, more like a curious sound).

Aside from her being down at the moment with the loss of Vincent, she's eating well and maintaining weight. Perhaps she just hasn't moved in a bit?

Anyone else had pigs with hugely noisy insides?
 
Hi, yes our little old lady Fluffy has a very rumbly tummy and "parps" which is very funny when she is having a bath! We've been sat watching tv and heard a rumble and been astonished at how loud it is. Fluffy has a delicate tummy and suffers from episodes of bloat, we rub her tummy gently to encourage movement and find a warm bath can also help. We also use a vibrating back massage chair which encourages the air to - how to put this delicately - exit. Fluffy bless her has to have a boring diet without many of her favourite foods but we still have to keep a stock of infacol in the fridge. Hope your little one is ok.
 
Cookie does massive tummy rumbles and has never had bloat (touchwood) She has done these for a year, with no other symptoms.

Just keep a close eye on her for any signs of bloatyness to be safe. Lots of cuddles to her x
 
Thanks guys, I can report nearly a week on that the rumbling has ceased for now! I think she was having an episode :P It was just the look on her face when she did it! CLASSIC.
