It sounds like she is impacted, which can happen to older piggies. There's something recommended for impacted pigs to take but I can't remember it right now. I'll see if I can find it or if anyone else can remember it. Hmmm.
In the mean time, be careful with Pandy's diet. Make sure she has unlimited hay to keep her digestive system moving and a good quality pellet that is high in fibre. Ease off watery fruit and veg like bananas and melon as they can make pigs a bit constipated by softening their poops too much.

Orlaith thanku i appreciate as i was awaiting for an reply...so far from my observations she poops well and urinates well and frequently...Eats well luks normal plays around BUT confusion is i dont understand wat she is pushing out wid her rear up and cries a bit silently? .keeping kideny stones in mind i am feeding her cranberry juice mixed with organic kidney capsules incase she has stones.Sometimes i pick her when she is pushing and see white creamy substance in her vagina or urinary area again confused : (.even the vet is unsure so i dont want to risk taking her there .doing everything possible i can.

You're right to be cautious with kidney stones instead of a regular vet take her to an exotic pet vet they know a lot more on animals that regular vets don't.

Hello All, Am bacK after some weeks as i stated earlier about my Pandy's state...Well i got this info which i want to share with all of you...some vets just assume and could risk your baby's life to which we end up with wrong medicines..well i went to an exotic vet as u stated and she prescribed a UTI Xray and a Urine test for her...Thank god no stones or bladder sludge found But shockingly it turned out to be a Uterus infection which was causing her pain and sludge...Now she is on medications and anitbiotics....After a week time we should be getting another urine test and a Pap smear test done on pandy....Lets hope for betterment in her health...: ) thanx.
