No problem! Keep us updated!

Yeah that doesn't look normal @AMP524... That's kinda what Matisse had too, I ended up taking him to the vet and it was a URI, but only in his sinuses. He went on meds and now no more extra fluid. I'd have it checked out for sure.

Force feeding requires a syringe. Do you have any of those? If you do and it's only a thin one, cut the tip off so that it can suck up the mush. Either way you need to water down the mush so it can be sucked up into any syringe. Go slowly and be sure she's eating it (her mouth will be moving)...

I have that same carrier and only my 5 month old fits in it, I wouldn't be able to get another pig in there with him. I personally wouldn't recommend it for two but that's just me (keep in mind it may be 10-20 minutes there and 10-20 back but consider the time while there as well, my concern is...

Glad everything is okay! Cutting the quick isn't a big deal at all unless you're negligent and don't notice you've done it. I used to be a dog groomer, from then on I always keep QwikStop in the house (found at most pet stores or dog grooming stores). It's just a tiny little bottle of yellow...

Glad you didn't go to Banfield! Never been to one but have been to Vetco (Petco's version of Banfield) and it was HORRIBLE!!!! 'Nuff said! lol

Re: Pig won't take medication When giving my pigs their meds I sat them on the kitchin sink with their backs to me, held them up against my chest, and administered their meds. This way when they tried to pull their heads back or away they really couldn't get far. Plus I think it let them be...

I understand your position @jadzia. With all the money I poured into my pigs the last two months with vet visits, my Care Credit is racked so high now I don't know what I'd do if one of my dogs needed emergency care, so I definitely understand where you are coming from (and truthfully I think...

lol thanks guys!!! haha matisse has his own little cheering section!!

Looks like we are good to go!! Matisse has been happily eating and drinking on his own. Hopefully now I can start seeing this big guy's real personality. He wheeks when I pet him sometimes =)

I'm actually curious to know that myself... Although I believe she's board certified. I was supposed to take them both back this Saturday for a recheck on the URI and the vet yesterday said it's really not necessary, she listened to their lungs and heart and everything. She said keep an eye on...

Yes. I took him to the vet Friday and she prescribed him a pain med, probiotic, and some powder crap I had to mix into his Critical Care. I continued force feeding on Saturday and he ate a bit on his own. His belly felt very bloated but I did what the vet prescribed, stopped his meds and started...

Yes I'm very much drained at this point. Thank you for the support.

Got an update from mom just now that Matisse isn't eating at all, his veggie bowl is still completely full. Back to the vet now for a free tech appointment, if the tech feels the vet needs to see him then she will. I don't know what to do anymore.

His poops are looking normal, I know he did a whole bunch last night lol. I was only home for about 30 minutes this morning between waking up and leaving for work so I didn't get a chance to see if he did much more, I was more concerned about watching if he was munching on anything, but when I...

I have NO clue why the vet felt that way, she didn't give any reason (but then questioned why I had them in separate carriers saying they could both be put in one... Cuz I don't need a fight breaking out in a tiny space while I'm driving! o_O). I think she will be one of those vets where I will...

@foggycreekcavy I believe the old pellets are Alfalfa based as they were the ones I got for Shelby. However Matisse enjoys these and won't touch the Oxbow. I am open to suggestions =) I will add the heating pad. @SurfingPigs They are currently separated by a grid divider. The vet wanted...

Still real no interest in veggies this morning (I think he ate one bit of a pepper). I will see how far down the bowl is when I get home tonight which will help me determine when he eats since I didn't have veggies with me yesterday to watch this. He's eating his hay (I'm referring to Matisse at...

From what I know a slight amount of sneezing is normal (like, I'd say, 1 every other day is what I personally consider normal and that's only my personal experience, not fact). But if you notice (again, in MY opinion) 3+ a day, that should raise an eyebrow. I don't really know if there's an "ok...

Thank you!!! Wow this place has been such a panic saver. Glad this forum is here. =)
