Hello all,
I just wanted to make piggy owners aware of a bout with an ear infection that my gussguss underwent while the gpdd was down. I recognized that there was a problem because gussy was walking with her head tilted. I though maybe she had an itch or a piece of hay stuck in her tooth so i didnt worry at first. then she started having trouble walking straight so i rushed her to the vet. after two different vets her ear infection and white cell buildup was diagnosed. it took about a month for her to heal and yet another month for her to "straighten" out, as the crookedness became a learned behavior. sometimes when she is tired she still goes "crooked". If i had recognized the sign of this infection up front i could have healed it sooner, so watch out for crooked piggies!
Also, my Maybell sneezes about twice a day. she has always done this and has no accompanying respirtory infection symptoms. Do you think this is just a dust allergy? Also, I just moved to Cleveland OH and am lookinf for a good piggy vet if anyone has a suggestion.
Nuzzles and carrots,
Lauren, Gussguss and May
