Soft poop-please help
We have normal poop! She is also active, playful and curious.
I am almost afraid to announce it because I fear it will return to mush. She has now had 3 normal movements. They are lighter in color but oval shaped.
It seems like she responded to the poop soup, compliments of her boyfriend. I am giving it 2 hours after albon mixed with vit C. Can I give it to her mid day also...or is that over kill?
Also, any advice on veggie reintroduction is appreciated.
Thank you all!
Also, a funny story...my 4 year old son came out at 7am and saw me giving the poop soup. He said, "Mom, is that poopy?" I said yes and explained why I was doing it. He put his hands over his eyes and said, "I totally can not watch this." :)

Honestly, wait until her stomach has settled. I would wait a couple days before bringing in a veggie.
Who knows what junk still has to work it's way through? Plus, she is still eating her own poops, possibly reintroducing the issue back into her system.
If you still have fresh green grass in your area? Stuff that you know is good (No pesticides or herbicides, the local dogs don't go on it, etc.), give her that first.
Or get her that wheatgrass they sell for cats. Think if you do a search on "wheatgrass" you will see some people here grow little pots of it for there herds.
Other than that? SMALL AMOUNTS and then watch the, uh, results. I don't care if she complains or learns how to chuck her food dish.

We have grass in our yard, and I am suspicious if that is where this originated. I let them out on Saturday in a pen to graze. Our dogs go out there, and our rabbits explore it too but I put the pigs in a separate area. However, we do have stray cats in the area...they could bring disease.
Pigs will now have to play indoors...
I can get wheatgrass for her at our local Henry's.

Oh, you got the pretty lancaster piggie from TBB? I heard she was a sweetie. Someone adopted her friend and left her behind.
Yes! That's her!!! So do you know anything about her? She is now with another TBB boar (fixed of course) His name was Panda and is now Cassanova and another sow that I got from a friend who could not keep her.
I saw Sierra when I went to bring back Cassanova's cage I borrowed until he was healed from surgery. When I found out she was a lonely one who lost her cage mate I brought mine up for a date and the rest is history...even Caroline was surprised at how well they got along. She was so happy to be back with other piggies.
Do you know if any other pigs from Lancaster had soft poop?

Yeah, she was dumped at Lancaster shelter with a neutered male, some rats and two bunnies - all the same owner at the same time. She was there quite awhile. They usually euth them fairly quickly but a volunteer had a hold on them.
How could anyone bear to part with her? She is so amazing. I have only had her 6 days now and am up at night checking on her and giving her meds. She is on my lap as I type...
Well she is happy now with her buddies and will have a forever home...we are actually moving to a bigger house next month so they are getting a bigger cage too. I just got the grids (the safe ones). Do you have any good leads on coroplast in the area around Fullerton or where TBB is? I got a quote of $40 a sheet.
