Hello Mary Ellen

My Mocha wheeks when he poos. It is an on again off
again thing. My vet and I think that he has bladder
stones. My vet took an x-ray, but nothing showed up. I
know that some do not show up on an x-ray.
I recently heard him grunt loudly just like my female
pig that has bladder stones. It confirmed the stone
idea for me. He has stopped making any kind of noise
so I think that he has passed this stone. 
You should have him checked out for any kind of
obstruction or defect in the colon. Sometimes a tumor
could cause pain. 
Is his poos normal? He could be constipated and cause
pain. Let us know if you find out anything.
Your pig should probably be taking a pain killer like
metacam. My female, Sabrina, takes that daily for her
stones and arthritis.
