Bloated Supposedly Bloated Guinea pig?

Possible she had too many gasy veggies? Like broccoli, brussel sprouts or cauliflower?

She has actually never had any of those vegetables...

Maybe a warm water bottle with a towel over it to lay on while supervised? Being bloated is usually related to gas. So what is her diet been like lately?

Pellet food, timothy hay, small amounts of snap peas, carrots, cilantro, and celery in the morning. She also has vitamin drops in her water.

Bloat (Not just a small amount of gas) is a serious medical condition, you need to take her to a vet now.
It could be intestinal blockage or a dangerous buildup of gas, which can be lethal & is very painful.

And ditch the vitamin drops in the water, they only change the taste of the water which can result in pigs drinking less.
They become ineffective within ½-1 hour in which the pig would have to drink unrealistic amounts.
Feeding 1/8 to 1/4 yellow or green bell pepper covers the whole vitamin C intake as well as 1 cup in total of varied vegetables daily.

Oh okay I never knew that about the vitamin drops. Thank you!

If you don't already have a good Cavy savvy exotics vet on hand, read these links, call around & ask questions. And get her in as soon as possible.

Also check the vegetable chart, it's very straight forward with what to feed & how often. Really invaluable when shopping.

The daily staples include 1/8-1/4 yellow or green bell pepper depending on size.
Orange & red contains too much sugar to be feed daily, but 1 slice red bell pepper covers the vit C intake for the average pig.
You can however experiment with different colors if your pig doesn't like the daily ones at first, and feed them in place of occasional fruit.

2 medium/large sized leaves of lettuce.
There are many red & green leaf varieties to rotate. No iceberg. Romaine can cause sludge for some pigs, avoid if that's the case.

Cilantro is a great herb to feed daily which you're already feeding, but there are many other herbs you can rotate.
And chunk of zucchini if your pig enjoys it.

Feed these until your pigs eat them, and then introduce rotational veggies per Ly's diet chart posted above. Around 1 cup daily.

This is too late to help your pig last night, but for future use, you can give them pediatric simethicone. A vibrating pillow will also help. In some cases, people have used electric toothbrushes under a thin pad to provide the vibration.

Thank you everybody for your helpful suggestions. She is looking much better today, but we are taking her to the vet to make sure she is totally recovered.

I always keep baby simethicone on hand. You can give half the pediatric dose two or three times a day. I also very gently massage their belly after each dose to break up the gas bubbles.

A pig with bloat feels really, really ill and usually does not show interest in food.

Is the grape water for colic babies?

@RodentsRus , if you're asking about gripe water, they're two different things. Gripe water is an herbal solution, and its ingredients may vary according to who makes it. Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that breaks up very small gas bubbles, which then re-form as a larger bubble which is more easily passed.

I buy Baby Simethicone at the drug store. The store brand is labeled Infant Gas Relief Drops and the active ingredient in each 0.3 ml is Simethicone 20mg
