[Gpdd] CARE & HEALTH - I need some serious advice

[Justine Carey]

Hey peoples -

Well, first of all i have some good news. After almost 24 hours of having 
Lady and Honey living together, not only do they get along well but they 
happily share everything, jump over each other, hide together...it seems too 
good to be true how well they are getting along!

I have some concerns about bother piggies that i would appreciate some 
advice on:

Lady ~~ Lady seems to be persistantly scratching a certain spot near her 
right let. I picked her up to check for blood or mites or anything. I found 
a dry substance on her coat on that area. I do not know if it is puss, 
urine, or what. I thought if it were a mite thing that it would get worse 
over the next few days then i would know for sure. She does not seem to be 
scratching so much today, but I thought I'd just let everybody know just 
incase you may know something I  should know but don't.

Honey ~~ Ok, I have two problems with Honey. Yesterday Honey did either 
really thick urine or really runny poo. (It was yellow in colour). What 
could be wrong for this to happen? I haven't changed anything in her diet, I 
don't understand how this could have happend! Secondly and what is more 
stressful to me; Honey has been very timid for the last two days. If i make 
any movement, sudden or otherwise, she runs and hides from me. She doesn't 
like to eat when I am nearby. We have only just finished some horribly 
electrical storms and I initially thought that she was afraid of noises 
because she assosiated noises with lightening...but its been about two days 
since our last storm and she still will not let me hold her, touch her, feed 
her... I've tried everything to get her happy again. I even picked her up 
against her will for a hug but she just went psyco and wouldn't want to be 
near me. Please help me, I'm doin the girly thing and crying because I don't 
know what else I can do for her =0(.

I'd like to finish this email on a happy note. I've been studying Lady, 
Honey, and how they interact together and it is so interesting! Lady is 
curious about everything around her. She seems to enjoy eating paper. I give 
her extra food sometimes so she won't eat the paper or cardboard...but once 
the food is gone she's back to the paper! Honey has begun to eat paper too 
hehehe.

Anyways, I hope somebody replies soon! Thanks for listening to me groan on 
about all this, I appreciate it.

xx Justine
