Ranger went a48 hrs with no poop and it was because he wasn't eating enough. I gave him lots of cucumber and that got things moving. It could also be the Baytril that is mucking about with his system so you may need some probiotics.
The vet saw him because I was worried but didn't charge me for the visit.

Yes I agree with Karen, maybe Sammy just needs help to get things moving. Probiotics are good to use when using Baytril.

Well i asked the vet if there was anything else i needed to give him he said the Baytril should do the trick stupid me forgot what i was asking for I'm sure he thought i was an idiot.
Nothings changed still the same

Oh that's great Karen, I am sure now he has started pooping he wont stop hehe Karen ?? Sammy back to the vets today and has come home with a course of science selective and i am syringe feeding as well as leaving him with his normal food My word he is a greedy bugger !! He tried to eat the syringe and when he finished the bowl off he started squeeking !!! After my daughter took the bowl away for me he curled up on my chest and promptly fell asleep as per usual !!!

Well 2 reasons really Raggs is looking a bit grubby as she is the long haired preggie one (i think)
I notice one of the girls has lice, I bought a big bag of Pets @ Home Hay and i think it must have come from that

I had to bath Ranger after his op. When I first saw him at the RSPCA I think it was a month after his op and he stank. He was my first long haired piggy. He had a bath and was fine and has smelt lovely ever since!
I have never had a pregnant sow or ones with lice so sorry can't help with that.
