Poo question

[jen_w]

Hi. Just giving dexter a check over and he has what appears to be a poo stuck in his bum. It's very white and gunky too. I managed to get half of it out and he is still pooing normally but there is still a bit up there. Any advice? Is it normal? It seems to be stuck to the sides so I don't want to yank at anything I shouldn't be yanking!

Take a read of this... if hes an older boar then it may be impaction.

Could be the start of impaction especially if hes an older boar, the article above is one i read a couple of years back when i had my last boars and it was really useful. Its simple enough to keep them clean and soon becomes part of your routine. Just keep an eye on him

Thanks for the replies. My only concern is he is only 18 months old so not sure if its defiantly impaction but I am going to attempt to clean the rest of it out. Bless him, poor thing must feel violated!
