one of my piggies, Zinfanel, had a cist removed about 3 months ago and she has recovered fully since then. But lately, when i have picked her up, i see a thick milky white fluid around her vagina. I wipe it off and then hold her, but it is there when ever i pick her up and has been occuring for a few weeks.

Also, she especially, but sometimes my others as well, have strang brown things stuck to the pads of their feet. They fall off, but then new ones replace them. It looks like dried poop that gets suck to their paws and between them.

Any answers, i will probably post pics later . . .
 
Check your sow's nipples- are they swollen? Does she mount the others?

It sounds like maybe either they are stepping in diarhea or they might have spurs- I don't know.
 
I was thinking spurs too... or like you said, dried poo?
 
I looked on the internet and spurs are not what my piggies have. I am pretty sure anyway. I think it's poop that they step in and stays in their pads, but i hold them everyday and it is always stuck to their pads!

I also thought my piggy might have a yeast infection. Could that be it. She had antibiotics a little while ago for the cist so it could be from that.
Do piggies get them often and do i just get antibiotics for the yeast infection?
