    Sick Kenzi's Medical Thread

    So, last Wednesday, on the 13th of November (Kind of ironic, right?) we picked up our newest pig, Kenzi. She had recently been pregnant after the all so common 'pet shop mix-up' in which nine of the ladies sows had litters. Straight away, I noticed that she was very skinny and had bite marks...

    Injury Scabs on New Piggy

    So today, I went to pick up my new piggy. I ended up coming home with three, because I just couldn't leave her two (accidental) babies. The person was having a child herself, and didn't have time to care for the guinea pigs anymore, and, one of the males was thought to be a female, had...

    Diarrhea A very sick Bagel!

    This has been the worst day for me! I woke up this morning and had to go straight out, so I didn't have time to check the pigs as I usually would.

    C&C Alternatives Help me get my piggies back inside!

    C&C C&C Cage for my four sows! Please help!

    This thread might be really long, because I have a lot of questions and explaining to do. Right now, I have three sows, Layla, Siska and Bagel. Two of them, Bagel and Siska, are living on my deck (which is the coolest part of the house) in a home made cage. They are the best of friends and are...

    Pregnancy Layla- Pregnant Sow

    Hi! I believe my beautiful self black sow, Layla, is pregnant. I recently got her from a successful breeder and the breeder said that she is possibly pregnant. I would have preferred her not to be, but the owner really had to sell her as she needed more room for her sows new litter. She had been...
