    If it ends at the vent, then I suggest giving a warm soak until something comes out. Has she pooped or urated for you since this bloating has occurred?

    Other than that, the only other thing I know of as of yet that can cause bloating is overheating. So check the temps.

    Let us know, and if all else fails, take her to the vet.
    It is up to the vent, yes. And yes, she is a Western (i'm sorry for the confusion on that). Well, as for substrate she was on Crushed Walnut shell, now she is on carpet. I've used Walnut shell for years and never had a problem, but i switched to stay safe and there is a first time for everything, i suppose.
    As for eurates, i've seen a few. First when she was on walnut shell, some nice white blotches being soaked up. As for poops, she hasn't really pooped, but none of my hogs really poop alot, and if they do they bury it quickly. she has pooped a few times in her water dish (only reason i know this is because it makes the whole room smell like dead rat and the water turnes a nice greenish color.). But, yes, she is bloated up to her vent. It looks like she had just laid eggs. Not alot of bloating, but it's noticable to me and only my 3 females bloat at all.
    I will definintely soak her. Will giving her a little olive oil on her food to help flush things out be a bad idea?
    Thanks so much for the help so far, guys!
