My little George woke up sneezing this morning and I am not sure why.

I use only Carefresh litter and the cage is very clean. His eyes and all orafices are all clear, he has just sneezed a few times. Is that ok?

I feel like a new mom all over again. LOL Am I overreacting?

Help, please!

I think you're just over reacting. My pigs sometimes sneezes.

Good to know, thanks!

I was kind of a neurotic mom at first, too, so maybe I'll get better with the pigs soon.

What can I say?

Yep, my pigs sneeze every so often as well. I'm the same way with my pets, especially my dogs. I'm sure my vets thing I'm insane.

I know what you mean. Only I think it's the pediatrition who finds me insane!!!

Dogs don't worry me the same way, I know when mine are sick, so I'm just not as neurotic with them.

Oh, well...

I always know when the dogs don't feel well, but it's the little things that bother me. For instance, I've suspected our new dog to have some type of skin allergy, as he obsessively licks his paws. It's not always red, and it hasn't bothered him much, but just yesterday I noticed he has a few spots on his back that are either infected hair folicles or some kind of boil.

Meanwhile, my piggies are exceptionally well, and the blind one was the first to go upstairs in their new cage. I was quite shocked.

I don't have any kids to obsess over, so I have to transfer my neurosis to other things LOL.

We have 3 children, 2 dogs, 2 cats (one who is pregnant) and of course the 2 cavies. We have a regular petting zoo around here!!

My life gives me lots to be neurotic about. I should be developing that nervous twitch any day now!!! LOL

Have a good one,

We've got 2 dogs, 2 piggies, and a 3 yr. old hamster who I expect to be dead everytime I walk into the room. I also have an aquarium, but we haven't moved it up here yet. I definitely know how you feel about the zoo thing. If we had more visitors, I could charge admission to my house!
