Another update: Shamrock had his last dose of his meds and seems to be feeling just fine. I haven't noticed anymore mucus and he's back to his normal random sneeze here and there. He's actually gained about 50g in the last couple of weeks so that makes me feel a lot better, but I'm still...

Update: we went back to the vet last week because the runny nose and continued sneezing had me worried, and the vet said that other than a little discharge in the nostrils everything was still normal. Lungs sounded fine, no irritable spots as he examined him all over. We even did another X-ray...

Ours got a assortment of fab veggies for brunch, and all new fleece and a couple tunnels for floor time!

Yah I've been wanting to buy locally, since I live in the Great Plains! You would think hay would be easy to find but no such luck, all of the bales of Timothy I find are all straw instead of hay!! I'm so frustrated with oxbow at the moment.

Yah I think I will, it seems like a much better deal as well as looking much greener than what we are currently finding. The 2nd cut Timothy looks like what they would all enjoy the most. They all love the tops to eat all at once and than go for the rest!

Thanks so much @Paula! I have been weighing him everyday since we went to the vet and am going to keep it up, just to be sure. I will check out etsy for the bags as well, and am going to try out a small order from KMS to make sure they all like it before I buy the whole bale. And it is...

Ok so three weeks ago one of our boars was sneezing occasionally and I just wanted to make sure he was alright so took him in to the vet. He said that everything looked normal in the X-ray, lungs sounded clear, he wasn't losing weight anymore (He had lost a cagemate in October and lost a bit of...

We have been trying to get them to eat veg, in all the different ways I've read to try. The only thing I was able to get anyone to eat was a piece of mango, and I'm convinced she ate it on accident.Everything I put in just ends up left in the bowl or dumped on the floor left to get warm or wilt...

So I don't know if this is just me being paranoid but I think one or more of our three girls has smaller than normal poops. Everyone is acting fine, and the poops seem the same as normal just smaller. I don't know which of the three it is yet but have been keeping my eye out for them. What else...

If it is early on it could be hard to tell especially if there's only one or two. We have a very cavy savvy vet and he was only guessing about noodles pregnancy due to a quick weight gain, but we couldn't really feel the two pups until just a few days before she gave birth. It's pretty strange...

Could she be pregnant? When they are close to giving birth you can hear the babies chattering their teeth. It is pretty freaky actually, our sow Noodles would get startled awake by it sometimes. She's doesn't look terribly pregnant in the pics but sometimes it can be hard to tell until they are...

One of our girls had this same problem when she's out for floor time and always gets her bottom all gross. A butt bath would probably be the easiest way to go about it. I know there's cat/dog bath wipes but I don't think they are safe for the piggies, there's some piggie safe shampoo that's...

I know you want to avoid another vet visit but based on the redness I'd ask the vet because it looks pretty crusty and might need ointment/ antibiotics. But we had a pig who had something that looked kind of like that under his chin and it ended up being an abscess. When our Clyde had his...

Thank you so much. I got him some acidophilus tabs, couldn't find capsules. And gave him some this afternoon, I hope this was ok as it was about three hours after he had his meds. I didn't want him to have to wait until 9pm to get them but I know that he was supossed to have them before the...

We have a stacked cage setup, it's two 2x4 levels on the bottom for the boys and a two level 2x4 on the top for the girls. From what I can tell the boys don't pay any attention to the girls, unless the crazy ladies start chasing eachother and shaking the building! But before we had the girls we...

So he seems to have stopped sneezing, but is very tired and isn't wanting more than a few bites of veg. He's had some hay and is drinking but mostly he's just snuggled up in his spot. The bene bac I ordered wont be here til mon so I'm going to get acidophillus and the store. What's the most...

I got a fleece alligator from Marshall ferret supply, for one of our very shy pigs Clyde, and he loved it so much. He was able to be out for floor/ lap time and be completely comfortable and covered, and not skittish the way he normally was. It was only about $10 when I got it, which I normally...

Thank you! We are getting some bene bac shipped and it will probably be here this weekend. Do you think he will be ok until it comes? He has already stopped sneezing that I can tell. So I'm very glad about that.

So today I took our new addition Remy to the vet for a checkup, I've been a bit paranoid about his sneezing. It's not often, maybe 4-8 times a day but it seems random from what I can tell. Vet said his lungs sound fine and he didn't sneeze during the checkup which I was sort of hoping for. But...

We just recently got a new boar to pair with our 3 yr old after his cagemate had passed and they rumble strutted off and on at eachother for about a week. No actual fights but I agree about the puberty thing. Our new addition is right around 7 months and he likes to try to be the tough on...
