[Gpdd] Health: Sassy's Diagnosis

[dogcatpiggymom at yahoo.com]

Sassy has CL, aka "Cervical Lymphadenitis".

Overnight, another "lump" popped out.  So, since one had broken open and oozed,
the vet flushed it out and prescribed Baytril.  I have to give it to her 2 times a day and also
apply warm compresses to the open area 3 times a day, removing the scab if one forms so
it can continue to drain.

I'm so worried now about my other pigs because I read how contagious it is.  I moved
Sassy into the kitchen, but I understand that CL is airborne so my other pigs have already
been exposed.

Does anyone have experience with this?  I sure could use some reassurance that Sassy will
be rid of this and my others will be okay!

Thanks so much!
