    Skin Problems Flaky, hard, bloody skin.

    I am sorry to hear you have to face that decision. I recently had to make the decision to let my 4 5yo boy go. He also was always getting some sort of health issue despite being clean, dry, warm, with a great diet. Then he got severe seizures one day and it was going to be hit and miss with...

    Conditions Is my skinny pig okay?

    My bore is the same. Ok with people. Can't be in with a buddy. Doest seem to impact on his health this far. I just make sure he has a great snuggle bed to keep him feel safe and warm :)
