Hi, i am new to the forum and have never used one before, so please bear with me
One of by boars (4yrs old, un-neutered) has small but healthy looking poops, sometimes teardrop shaped or round, sometimes normal looking but mini. He is drinking normally and eating normally (he loves his food) so i don't think he is dehydrated. I have checked daily for impaction but his anal area is clear of any blockage.
He had dental surgery under anaesthetic 2 month ago as he became very unwell due to malocclusion of his molars. He stopped eating as much and lost a lot of weight. His poops at the time were very bad condition due to this, but since then, he is back to his cheeky self and is slowly putting the weight back on. I have been supplementing his usual diet with Oxbow Critical Care and he is currently 895g.
Can a boar have impaction higher up the digestive tract that may cause smaller poop? or could it be due to his small weight and being post-op?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thankyou
