Pooping

[milreb15926]

He usually comes out when my daughter feeds them hay, water and regular food but he didn't come out this morning. When I came home from work today I usually see him out when I go into the kitchen. I only see the one male. So, I lift the platform thing up and he was under it. I moved him and he had a hug poop on his butt. It was bigger than his normal poop. I told my daughter to clean his cage out which it was time to clean it out anyways and he's on the floor with the cage lid on the floor so we can keep an eye on him. He is know pooping a lot. Big and small but they are stuck on him some of them. Is there something that I can do. I'm a teacher aid at school so I have work tomorrow and can't take off and husband won't be back for a couple more days. So I need some advice on what to do with him. We had him for about 4-5 years know.

Please have a look at this guide here; it sounds like your boy could suffer from impaction, which is not uncommon in older boars. The guide contains several videos as well as care and diet tips from an owner with an impacted boar.

If this is not the case, please see a vet as soon as is possible for you. Until then, please switch from weighing weekly to weighing daily at the same time to monitor his food intake and if necessary offer him top up syringe feed. You can use mushed up pellets in an emergency and get a needle-less 1 ml syringe from a pharmacy. Prep the tip as shown in our guide. Take your boy off any veg to help stabilise the poos if he is not suffering from impaction but a tummy upset.
If he suddenly starts going downhill and is looking very off, ill and apathetic, please see a vet asap as an emergency.
