Re: Peanut is Sick Again

Sammy - a heart pig is where a pig has heart problems. I strongly believe that my Buttercup is a heart pig (have you read her thread? You may find what my vet and I discussed helpful to you). Basically the pig will need to be on some form of heart meds its whole llife, some need a combination of meds.

The vet will need to take a x-ray or an ultrasound to diagnose heart problems. Guinealynx has a fantastic page on heart problems, read that, print it off and take it with you to the vets.
