[Gpdd] [health] squeaking while pooping

[Verdana]

Hallo all pig lovers,

First things first: although this is my first email to gpdd, I've been 
reading gpdd list for some time now, and I'm so glad that there are so 
many people out there who love guinea pigs as much as I do. I've had 
piggies for about seven years now, and I had some very happy and some 
very sad moments with them. Currently, I have one male piggy, Prase (a 
Serbian name for little pig). He will be a year old in January.

He has grown a lot since I got him, and he was healthy until a couple of 
weeks ago. Then he started squeaking when he was trying to poop, which 
he wouldn't usually do. However, he continued to eat and drink like 
always, and I asked some people with piggies what should I do about it, 
and they recommended that I mix him some milk and water and give him 
that to drink. I did that, but he didn't drink bore than just a couple 
of drops. After that he got better for two weeks or so, and now he has 
the same problem again, but he squeaks even when he's eating or lying 
down, although not constantly. I tried giving him milk and water again, 
but he just doesn't want to even get close to it when he smells what it 
is. He still acts as his usual self, but he squeaks from time to time 
like he never did before. I know he's in pain, but I don't know how to 
help him.

If anyone knows what should I do to help him, please reply.

Thanks in advance,

Ivana
