Our older pig (about a year now) has an abscess under his chin.
I was wondering if anyone has ever had success with watching and seeing. He is active as ever and eats plenty.
I am not opposed to a vet visit (we are about 3 minutes away from THE cavy vets in the state.) However, they only lanced it last time and gave us antibiotics. It healed slowly, but nicely. I an typically a low-intervention person anyway. Husband is home all day and as in tune with the boys as I am, so I know that he would pick up if there was something off.
