Dr. Faust has a lot more experience than Dr. Selig, I think. However, in the last two years, I've been taking the pigs and such to Selig when I can't see Riggs (out of town a lot).


I'm much happier with faust. Not only his work he does with the animals, but as a person, too. I just have a good relationship with him.

Dr. Faust is awesome. He sees my kitties and didn't hesitate to give me a call when he wasn't seeing piggies but I wanted advice on Peggy Sue. He's an incredible person and very easy to talk to.

I printed out the directions to his office already, and will definitely give him a try next time I need to take one of the girls in. I very much prefer vets who are as good with people as they are with animals. Riggs is nice enough, but not warm and fuzzy in the least.

Poor Stachi, How is he doing?

I am curious as to how they closed that up. Is it sutured or glued or what? It has to feel better than before.

Is he on antibiotics?

Pistachio is doing really well. The eye is glued shut. He is not on any antibiotics.

Looks like he's healing up well! Give him a kiss for me and tell him he's beautiful!

Pistachio is looking very handsome even in recovery.
I am not familiar with any eye-removal injuries, but the wound looks "clean and crisp".
Get well soon little Pistachio!

Pistachio had some pus coming from the eye yesterday. He started on antibiotics. Still looks great. He's eating like a pig and back to his old kiss-my-azz attitude we all love so dearly.
