[Gpdd] [Health] Itchy Louie - HELP NEEDED

[Jenna T.]

Hello everyone.. Itchy louie is having another bought of scratching ;(  this 
time it is worse than all the others...    sooo... he is now wearing a sock 
"Sweater" to let the scabs heal... he seems real depressed like lately - 
possible in pain???  I remember reading something about giving piggies 
aspirin or some sort of pain med to help... can someone reiterate what and 
how much to give??? Would this be ok in this situation??? Since he is pretty 
beat up by his own itching and nibbling.... I think he might be a little 
chearier... he's still eating, but he's hiding alot and that is weird for 
him - since he's the more active attention one.. he hardly even weeeeeks any 
more :(   i feel so bad!!!  help.. any advise would be great...   Fyi to 
anyone who doesn't know itchy louie - took him to the vet when this first 
apeared... they did a number of tests and they told me it was "allergies"  - 
we have not yet been able to figure out what he is "allergic" to.... I think 
it's just his nerves - he's a little spastic :)  The boughts of itchiness 
come and go sporadically....

I was also told it could be a sign of diabetes or some other disease?  is 
this true?

Thanks,
Jenna, Louie, Fuzzy, and max the bun
