I never had to post a question about my piggie to the digest during her recent illness because everyone else had already asked them and provided the answers.  

Last week my Lokai started labored breathing.  Her regular vet was out of town (not an exotic specialist but still good) so we were referred to the exotic vet.  He was wonderful!  He spent a at least an hour checking her out, taking an x-ray, trimming teeth, and making sure that I knew what to do when I got her home.  She's had minor URI's in the past and gotten over them on her own but this one was at another level.  If anyone needs and exotic vet in Charleston, SC, I can highly recommend one.

I had to give her Baytril, feed her by hand, and separate her from her sister Tribble so she wouldn't get sick.  The Baytril gave her diarrhea so (thanks to the GPDD) I knew to give her yogurt.

She is on the mend!  She is talking to me again and able to eat without being hand fed.

I hope all the other piggies get well like my baby.
