Rescue pig Piglet
Update on Piglet--
When we got back from our vacation we gave Piglet a cagemate. She began to move around more, and now you wouldn't even know she had ever had trouble walking.
However, she must still have some nerve damage. She must dribble urine or something, because she's always wet and gets that scale on her back legs. I was cleaning her off and massaging some coconut oil into the area yesterday and she had a seizure.
She's had seizure-like episodes when she first came here. It seems to happen when she's being handled and is very upset.

I was able to bathe her today without her having a seizure, and trimmed the hair really short back there. I was able to watch her urinate, and she did it with no problems, like a normal pig would. So I wonder why she keeps getting all this gunky scaly stuff around there?
I don't bathe her or use the Desitin as much as I'd like, because of the seizures. I'm trying to do it every few days.
I think I'll take her back to the vet, and get a culture to find out exactly what's going on.
