He had a small abcess (and dead tissue) removed and I was given (to take home) 9 days of antibiotics and 3 days of pain medication. About two weeks ago he had two large abcesses removed and the area he was operated on looks quite different than it does this time. This time it looks a litte like a pit, hard to describe, but you can tell it was where he was operated on (last time I could not tell at... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (SDpiggie) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5553 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:34:03 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5551/t/Red-legs-.html On both of my piggies, their back legs seem really red and...I dunno...calloused? Something like that. Is this normal since they hop around on them? Or should I be worried?

Obviously I trimmed her up as good as I can.

She seems to have growth like callousses covering the pads of her front feet. What are these and how do I treat them? Is a vet trip in order?

Her stomach was really growling and sounded like it was just full of gas.. rumbling and sounding quite 'aggresive'. She also felt big and bloaty and was uncomfortable.
My friend said she fed her lots of dandelion leaves from the garden. I think this is what caused it?

He is 5 years old and has never acted sick or had any problems, until yesterday morning. When I went to feed him, he wasn't making his usual squeaks & squeals of delight when he hears the bag of lettuce. Then when he usually is jumping at the door of his house, anxiously waiting for his carrot, it was as if he couldn't see it or smell it... he was just all wobbly, his head wobbling all around and he... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (padoodlebear) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5470 Fri, 02 May 2008 13:13:21 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5468/t/scratched-cornea.html feeds@yuku.com (calebfl) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5468 Fri, 02 May 2008 06:06:58 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5467/t/I-took-my-girls-to-the-vet-today-.html ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Charles Was Never in Charge) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5467 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:50:30 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5458/t/chuckie-has-mouth-sores-.html feeds@yuku.com (amon8re) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5458 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:36:02 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5451/t/Sneezeing-a-choughing.html
