Hi,
We are in the midst of a heavy snow storm today. I took the opportunity to do a good cage cleaning, nail clipping and piggie check-up.
Peaches passed except for a small bald spot on top of her head I have been treating with antifungal cream. My other Teddys have had these spots, too.
I found a problem with Pumpkin and I don't know if it is serious or not. I cleaned out his male bits under warm running water. i couldn't retract his penis. I tried holding that area under the water and moving his penis around but it seems to be stuck inside.
Anyone have this happen before? I am afraid if it stays this way he might get a bladder infection. I plan to soak him again later today. Does this need a vet visit? I hadn't checked his penis in a long time so don't know how long it has been this way. I remove his impaction as neded usually once a week.
Help!
Dee, worried about Pumpkin and embarrased about messing with his 'bits'.
