[Gpdd] GPig Bumblefoot

[Marie Hopkins]

For Debbie and others with gpigs with bumblefoot - if you've taken good care of your gpigs, please don't feel guilty!  

I had a gpig named Ethel with it. Her cage was always reasonably clean and she was not overweight.  She developed it when she was about 5 so I think age may be a factor.  I did all of the recommended treatment and it held the disease in check but it never went away totally. (Eventually she passed away from an unrelated tumor.)  It didn't seem to bother her much.  She stayed active and I think she even looked forward to the foot soaks because she enjoyed being wrapped in a warm towel and cuddled afterwards. 

Hang in there with it - it's a stubborn problem.
