Question
PRISCILLA, I HAVE A WK AND 1/2 GIRL POTBELLY PIG. SHE IS NURSING FINE. SHE IS THE RUNT. WHEN SHE USES THE BATHROOM IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS A HARD TIME POOPING. HER BACK LEGS COME OFF THE FLOOR. SOMETIMES SHE GETS ON HER FRONT KNEES WITH HER BOTTOM IN THE AIR..HER BROTHER AND SISTER DONT DO THIS. IS THIS NORMAL OR DO YOU THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM?...SHE DOES GO POOP AND AFTER SHE ACTS JUST FINE..THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, TONYA

Answer
I suspect she will be fine. Instead, it's the squirts we usually worry about.
Did you give her iron? Often that will constipate them.
Make sure she has an anus.....some don't and poop out their vaginas.
Baby rice cereal might be a good idea.
Good luck,
Priscilla Valentine
