[Gpdd] HEALTH: Benedryl and nail trimming

[Conklin Kacee]

Kramer makes noise when breathing like he's congested all of the time.
We've tried everything but nothing has worked.  In all respects, he's a
healthy piggy.  One of the things we did try was children's Benedryl.  I
believe the does for him was 1-2 mil twice a day.

Styptic pencils are available in the US.  It's hard to do black nails
but once you are used to trimming nails where you can see the quick, it
becomes easier to judge how far to go when trimming.  In 9 years, I
think I only drew a little blood three times.  That's a pretty good
record I think.  Perhaps the vet can give you some direction on how to
trim their nails.  It's hard to give advice when you don't know how long
they are.  Obviously, the more they are curled, the more you can take
off.  I use nail scissors or a large nail clipper depending on the nail
and how long it is.
