I have a male that suffered from bloat. I gave him baby simethicone following the instruction on guinealynx and I could actually hear the gas bubbles popping in his stomach. I have no doubt it saved his life. It's very effective if you give half the pediatic dose twice a day. Gently massage their stomach afterwards. It's not harmful and it works;
I never said it was harmful. Just relaying what both of my vets say about this med. I've used it before with no results. Each case of bloat is different and location is the key.
Guinea will not let me massage his stomach either. He is in pain and will bite every time I try.
My vet put him on a different pain med now to see if that makes him more comfortable. His stomach still has the hard lump. She told me if this doesnt get better in a few days we may need to think of letting him go. She isn't comfortable (me either) with a stomach surgery to remove the pieces and clear the blockage. He's just too weak to be able to handle that..
