Heart pigs tend to have gas and enlarged livers.

Ok, I'm convinced, it's off to the vet in a couple of days to discuss a heart meds trial. Question, once they are on meds does the gas either lessen or go away?

I know Deb. If you read this entire thread, you'll see she doesn't listen very well!

Yes, it does lessen since they find it easier to breathe and stop swallowing air while eating.

From Bug's Mom: (This info was what the Vet showed to help Bug with her Gas issues.)

"The massage is done between the rib cage and the hips with a firm but gentle squeeze. The further away from the backbone you are the less likely to damage any organs within the given parameters."

Again, I'm indebted to Debi for posting pics. I hope these pictures will help others who have gassy piggies. This technique has certainly helped Lady Bug to expel her gas until the Cisipride can kick in.

Thank you Talishan. I was beginning to think the pictures were not going to be of any value to anyone but me.

You have both my permission and the permission of Lady Bug's doctor to do anything you want with the pics.
