I am starting to make my own sprouts and wondered if my piggy can eat those too? The chart I have makes no mention of sprouts. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Vicki

Thanks! I'm guessing it was about a cup of lettuce per day, minus the other stuff. Good info to have for when Butterscotch returns. Thank you! Yes, I only had Wilma for 7 days when she got sick (but I mistook it for loneliness b/c I just seprated the two because of the ringworm - didn't want...

@Princess_Piggy - the pet store actually takes them to a vet around the corner from my house. I'm not sure if they are good or not, I use a different one - have heard great things about the one I use.

Oh CRAP!! Why did I use romaine? I knew to use green or red leafy lettuce - that's what I used for Wilma and Butterscotch. UGH! I hope that's not what caused her death. My husband thinks I over fed her. Is that possible? I gave her a small handful of lettuce in the morning and another at...

Bought 2 piggies back in Feb. Piggy (broken link removed) (Butterscotch) broke out in Ringworm 3 days after we got her. Piggy (broken link removed) (Wilma) died 5 days after that. Both were pet store piggies. Spent over $150 at the Vet for Butterscotch. Never made it to my vet appt for...

Thank you for the wonderful sentiments! I appreciate it. Was still crying today when I'd think of Wilma! She's missed so much! Found a resue place up the street from me. As soon as Butterscotch is better, I'm going to rescue one. No more pet stores for me!!

Thanks guys! What antifungal shampoo should I use, and how do you dry off your piggies?

I WANT TO BATHE MY PIGGY SO BADLY, but don't want to make her condition worse or "wash" off her medication that I have to apply!! Butterscotch has a fungal infection and I've been treating her with Miconozol (ointment) 2x/day since last Saturday and an antibiotic 2x/day since this past Tuesday...

Thank you everyone. I feel like I could have done more....I almost took her to the Vet last night when I brought Butterscotch back to get another medication for her skin, but I didn't. She was moving like normal last night and I did watch her drink from her water bottle. Now I wish I had...

Decided to just show up at the Vet's office....couldn't wait till 4. Last night, other than not eating, she was moving, walking and "talking" and she even drank some water. I really thought she was just depressed from being separated from Butterscotch. This morning, she was slow moving, but...

Thank you! I already called the Vet. Tried to get in before my 11 am meeting, but they are over booked today. They are squeezing me in at 4 today, so I took that appt. Yes, this is an exotic pet vet. They are the ones treating Butterscotch. They have been wonderful with Butterscotch. I...

Butterscotch has a fungal infection so I had to separate her from Wilma on Saturday. Since the separation, Wilma seems to be sad and depressed. We never see her eating anymore, her pellet dish is always full and she's not touching her hay anymore. Not even her fruit and veggies. Although, I...
