Ly - THANK YOU for the advice! It's been 5 days since I stopped the acidophilus as you suggested, and Hermione remains diarrhea-free! I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your help. :)

Ly - I just wanted you to know that Hermione has not had diarrhea all weekend! I've been feeding her separately, with an entire capsule of acidophilus sprinkled on her veggies, since Thursday (so this is the 4th day). And it hadn't occurred to me that she could have had diarrhea after the...

Thanks, Ly - I'll give that a try starting tomorrow. That would give her a lot more acidophilus than she's getting now, so maybe that will help. I didn't realize they could have that much cilantro - they'll be happy to have more, as they all really love the stuff!

I've been sprinkling about half of an acidophilus capsule over the veggies every day so she is getting that probiotic...although all three piggies are eating the veggies so maybe she's not getting enough acidophilus? I did not give her any yogurt like the vet suggested. While the antibiotic...

UGH! I had Hermione on the bactrim again for another full week, during which time her poop was totally fine, and this afternoon (two days after her last dose of antibiotic) I just discovered nasty squishy poop AGAIN. I'm so frustrated! Does anyone have any experience or advice about this? What...

I'm relieved to hear that! Thanks, Ly - I feel much better now. :)

Ok, now I DO see a spot on the fleece that I didn't see before I cleaned the cage today. It's about the size of a nickel, stiff and white (but just enough to see it, not solid white). So maybe it is her urine. Would it build up on her bottom like that? What do I need to adjust in her diet?

I'm positive she's a girl...the two male pups we had looked exactly the same as each other in that area, and I was able to get both their parts to "pop out" to confirm they were boys. Luna looks completely different from the boys, and her genitals look just like both of my older females (who...

I've been searching here and guinealynx and I can't find anything to help me figure out what this is...I was able to wipe some of it off yesterday, and today she looks normal. Still nothing unusual on the fleece in the cage (so it doesn't look like the pictures I've seen of "sludge" in urine)...

A few minutes ago we noticed something white and crusty on the genitals of our 3 week old female piggie Luna. It did not come off easily when I tried to clean with a wet paper towel. What could this be? I don't know how long it has been there, since I haven't really looked at her bottom in a...

I just talked to the vet, and she suggested I continue the antibiotic for another round and continue the acidophilus powder, and call her if the diarrhea returns again after this round. She also suggested I give Hermione a little yogurt in addition to the acidophilus powder. I have read that...

Both of our piggies had diarrhea off and on since we got them in July. It was soft/mushy, not watery. I thought it was probably due to changes in diet, and Ginny's did clear up after a while. (Both girls were also pregnant, and gave birth Sept 26.) Hermione continued to have messy poop...

Good news - two of the babies ate lettuce a few minutes ago (two small leaves of baby lettuce each). :cheerful:

I somehow missed this post earlier... I haven't tried grass or clover. I'll try that tomorrow, thanks! I was wondering if they will fuss when we separate them...my friend is taking one of the boys so I'll be sure to let her know he might be upset at first. Yep, both mamas LOVE their veggies...

Thank you! Does anyone have answers to my first two questions?

Ok, but they're going to remain in the same cage, so I can't give the baby unlimited alfalfa pellets without the mamas eating them at will, too...that's why I was asking about what I read on another thread about using some alfalfa pellets, and giving just the baby parsley and kale when she's...

Our three pups are 8 days old today. They are nursing, drinking from the water bottles, eating pellets (Kleenmama's alfalfa pellets), and eating hay (bluegrass). None of them is interested in veggies yet, though. They don't even try to nibble lettuce when I put it right in front of them and...

He's mostly snow white, but the hair on the top of his head and behind his ears seems to have a very light gray stripe - I mean the hairs themselves appear to be white near the skin, then light gray in the middle, then white at the tips. Does that make sense?

Here's a pretty good picture from yesterday. Last night we had another good look, and I think what we have is two boys and one girl (the one on the left, the brown/white abby looking one that we've been calling Luna, is the girl). Thanks so much to everyone here who has given me advice and...

Yeah, I was pretty sure Ginny had one baby and Hermione had two from what I could feel in their bellies...thankfully that was right. I'm very glad they didn't have large litters, both for the girls' sake, and for us trying to find homes for the babies. All the babies have nibbled on hay...
