Is there a definitive dose to be given in cases of bloat? I've read many different doses such as 1ml 3 times a day, 0.3ml every 6 hours, 0.2ml 3 times a day... is Infacol any good? I read somewhere that it creates one big gas bubble instead of lots of little ones, and that gripe water is better?
I has a confusion a bit XD
Thanks for any advice :3
 
You are right, gripe water is better. I usually give 0.2/0.3ml gripe water for a 1kg piggy
 
Personally, I find gripe water works better in cases of milder/ongoing bloating issues. It disperses gas better.

Please always see a vet asap for zantac and emeprid or metoclopramide in cases of major bloat. Gripe water alone won't do the trick.
