Hi guys, a few weeks ago my boy had bloat which he was treated for and got over. Ever since, I've been more careful with his diet and he hasn't even been out on grass.

Looking at him today, I think it's back. He looks bloated again and I'm sure I heard some gurgling noises.

He appears completely normal and eating hay/nuggets with good appetite. I think maybe he's slightly quieter but that maybe me being paranoid.

So I think another trip to the vet. Anything else I can do? I guess no further fresh food just now? He is passing pellets normally so I'm not inclined to do any syringe feeding if his gut is still moving as usual.
 
I'm sure some people have mentioned gently massaging the tummy can help. I'll have a snoop around some old threads and see what I can find to help you. I hope he is ok and you're just paranoid! :)
