| Try him with some cooked de-shelled peas, peas act as a laxative so if it's blloat caused by constipation it should help. If it's bloat caused by a bacterial infection then the Paraguard will be benificial. To much protein can cause bloat, possibly caused by the Skeeter larvae, how often do you feed them Had he been fed while you where away , feeding the Skeeter larvae on an empty stomach could have caused it. Try the peas, so long as he's still eating then it should be OK it when they stop eating it's serious. | |

| Cucumber won't have the same effect as the peas, I don't know if you have fed peas before, but mine love them as much as the cucumber. Don't feed anymore of the larvae untill he looks better. | |
