I've noticed that Splodge was having touble passing, so I picked her up and had a look down there. There was ab bit blood, and it seemed tender.
Is there anything I can give her to help her pass?
Thanks.
 
Please have her seen by a vet as soon as you can.

Chances are that it is a urinary tract infection (UTI), but there can be other causes, too, and they will all need a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Sounds like your piggie has either a UTI or inflammation of the large bowel. I agree, your pig needs to see a vet. There is nothing at home you can give I'm afraid.

This is the sign of an infection. My piggy had the same symptoms and she needed antibiotics. Please do not ignore this as bleeding is not something that can be ignored.
 
Agree with everyone. If there's signs of something, even if it goes, there may still be an underlying problem. Worth getting checked out as piggies can go downhill quite fast
 
When this happened to my piggie, there was no underlying problem, BUT I only knew that because I took her to the vet! its really easy and inexpensive for the vet to check, they just take their temperature, if its OK then that's great and off you go home, if its high then they are fighting off some kind of infection and hopefully you'll have got it in time :)
 
today I found blood and some kind of clear liquid in Bruny around her droppings.It happens before but very rarely(1-2 times a year) and we are not able to see which pig do this.I did appointment for tomorrow so hope will treat it.She behave 100% same as normal:eat,moves and weight fine.
 
Visited CJ Hall in Mortlake,no more blood and got baytrill for 5 days.She looks ore than fine,no weight drops,no blood, good appetite and looks like no problems.Told me if it happens again need send her dropping to laboratory.
 
She so clever,When I caught her 3rd time for 3 hours to weight she looked at me like OH MAN ARE YOU CRAZY ?!?I'M FINE
Second time when I try to give her medicine she took syringe yourself.3rd time I even didn't caught her,I come closer and give syringe with portion and she came and took it.
