Chronic reoccurring bloat/gut stasis

[Talishan]

We've had a couple that have benefited from small, regular daily doses of Reglan (metoclopramide, a motility agent), especially as they aged and if they had an inclination to bloating/slow GI processing. Might be worth asking your vet about.

Good luck and blessings to her and to you. Hope she continues to improve!

This is great advice! Thank you so much!

I just wanted to update the thread - turns out you’re all totally right. Shirley does have what seems to be an ovarian cyst. The exotic vet suggested an implant to regulate the hormones. I haven’t gone there yet.
We’ve got some Ranitidine incase she flares up again.

bpatters wisely suggested ovarian cysts as a possibility. If you are able to treat it (surgically/chemically), I hope it helps with the digestive issues!

My sows who have had cyst have always gone with hormone injections. They get one wait 2 weeks then that's good for usually 6 months and repeat process if needed.

With Jessie shrank her cyst in 6 months, Jay and Jan took a little longer but injections worked great and less invasive.
