Hey guys.
In August i'm going on vacations and my piggie will stay with a friend for 2 weeks. She's knowledgeable about animals in general but she never had a piggie before so i'm doing a list of danger signals she should pay attention to.
Can you help me out and see if i'm missing something important that might not be very obvious for someone that doesnt know much about piggies?
So far i have:
Danger signals
Very serious (take immediately to the vet)
Diarrhea
Absence of feces
Bloated abdomen
Hipersalivation with fast breathing, apathy, weakness and warm ears (heat stroke, use a wet towel with cold but not ice water)
Less serious (call me)
Lack of apetite
Moist, soft or stuck together feces
Crusty eyes
Sneezes
Nasal discharge
