It has been one think after another this year with the show pigs..... Please help I think our show pig is constipated. She hasnt within the last few days shown much interest in her feed. She is a lightweight pig... so I have really been waitching her intake. She seems to now not have as much energy as she normally does, and yesterday she seemed gasey, not very many stools in her pen and today she hunched over for 10 minutes trying to go and couldnt do much of either. She is on about 6lbs of feed a day... if Im lucky and she eats it all... and that is including about 3/4 of yaggie oats... Please please help... what can I do to save her from pain and misery. Need to get her something fast, she cannot be off her feed for long.. She needs to gain every pound she can to make weight at the county show!!!

Thanks!!!

You can try putting some mineral oil on her feed, or some fiber supplement (for people) on her feed. You could also try walking her around, that usually helps them to walk it out.

Well I gave her a little mineral oil... and i did an enema... YUCK!! I know... but it seemed to work.. within hours, she went alot!!! and was hungry for dinner and starving this morning for breakfast... Hope that did the trick!!!

Great, I hope it works out
