HELP!! potbellied pigs ate foam!!?
My Potbellied pig (and possibly her babies) destroyed their pet bed and ate some of the foam out of it. I called the vet and she said to give them bread. I guess it is supposed to bind with the foam so it will pass. I gave them the bread, but when I fed them tonight, the mother was trying to throw up-but didn’t. I think if she does actually throw it up that will solve the problem but she wont. The babies seem fine, but I don’t know what to do about the mother. Is there anything I can give them- besides bread that will help them pass the foam so it doesn’t create a blockage in their intestines?
She is acting fine now, but would it be a good idea to start her on a veggie oil regimen until she passes it? Could I give her a small amount of veggie oil with her food for a couple of feedings? Any ideas on how long it will be until she passes it- when will she be "out of the woods"?
