[Gpdd] health: nails, etc

[Chizeck, Susan P]

We found at first our piggies were very upset about nail cutting and
cried or whined piteously, just like little kids.  But now that they are
older and have figured out it doesn't really hurt, they are calmer.  We
do wrap them up a bit, extracting each foot to work on.  I think it
helps if when they're young you run your fingers over their feet and
toes often, so they're not alarmed when you do it to cut.

 

Also, just reading about that breeder makes me sick.  Your letter was so
eloquent, can you send it to your local newspaper?  Maybe they can do a
news story on it.  Or contact a TV station, as it's pretty graphic.
Publicity couldn't hurt here.
