Straining guinea pig

[Yasmin]

Hello.
One of my boars strains and makes a low noise before he passed poop. The poop comes out fine and normal and I keep checking for impaction but it's not that.
What could it be?

Many thanks.

Hi! Please have his urinary tract checked during regular opening hours. It is most often the cause for any straining and pain when pooping.
Alternatively, a sperm rod from dried semen in the penis shaft can also cause the same symptoms.
