Hi,
I know the normal response is going to be "take him to the vet" but the closest vet to me is almost 3 and a half hours away, and the one that was close to me has moved into a new state. And i dont think we have that long.
What is happening is, Sonny, my nearly 4 year old boar is very still, eyes r semi closed as tho he is wincing, possibly due to pain. He is crunching up in a ball and then will wheek a little then lay back down. He did have some debris in his rectal area and i cleaned it out but there seems to be more in there but im not 100% sure. I dont want to squish that area and hurt him. I feel like if i continue messing with him, and if he IS fixing to pass, i dont want to make that last bit of time even more stressful than it already is. I dont know what else to do. I fill the bottom of the bath with warm water and let him sit in it for a bit to mayb help get up in there and soften the blockage more but 2 poops came out in the tub, and before that (after i cleaned his bottom out) 2 poops came out after that. He still isnt active. All of this happened today, we woke up and noticed he was just laying under his little house and didnt come out for breakfast. His companion, Cher, was wheeking extremely loud while we were getting coffee so we figured she was just telling us "im hungry, hurry up!" but no, she was telling us something is wrong with Sonny. She was right there with him in his corner of the cage and snubbed her nose at her morning hay and was running back and forth to where he was and to us (Lassie moment for a piggy) She was right, something IS wrong, and i dont know what else to do to help him. I dont want to create more suffering for him but at the same time i want to save him. What else can i do? I cant go to the vet due to it being so far away (i seriously believe that when it comes to vets, the should see ALL types of animals, they r just as important as humans!!!)
Thanks in advance.
