Hi all
I have two gp's which are currently over at Cambridge Cavy Trust. I was due
to pick them up this Saturday but can't now go as I have a bad throat
infection and am too unwell to travel.
When I called Vedra (who runs CCT) to tell her, she said that I should NOT
come tp pick them up until I am properly well because gp's can pick up
coughs and colds from humans. She said she has about 7 or 8 pigs there at
the present time who can't swallow properly to eat their food because of
this.
I wanted to let you all know so that if you have coughs or colds you can be
aware your pigs may pick this up -- or perhaps get someone else to feed and
change them while you are contageous. Also, if they suddenly won't eat and
you have a bad cold of throat infection they may have picked it up as well,
and this may explain why they're not eating.
Hope this may be of use to you all. Carole
