Most likely the tape will pass on it's own. Tap is pretty insubstantial and shouldn't cause any more harm then the plastic they ingest when they chew on their pigloos and coroplast trays. Keep an eye on the pig's pooping habits to insure that it's bowels are moving and keep an eye on it's appetite. If it's eating and pooping well for 3 days then the tape will have passed. If it stops pooping or eating then it's time to make a trip to the vet's. |
