Soft Poops!?

[SazBomb]

Hi all,
One of my piggies has had quite soft poops for the past couple of days, i've tried holding off on feeding him veggies and putting more hay in for him to munch on, but he still seems to be suffering from it. Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks
Sarah

If the soft poos persist even after taking your piggies off any fresh food for 48 hours, please see a vet.
Please switch to weighing him daily at the same time, and if he has lost more than 50g, start offering him additional syringe feed (either recovery formula, mushed pellets or a mix). Also add a pinch of probiotics to it to help steady the guts.

If problems persist after seeing a vet, I would recommend investing in a course of fibreplex.
