I really hope this is all a scare. If this stuff was airborne.. Rocky and all of my pigs may be infected as well.
I checked all of my pigs, no abcess-like lump anywhere above the waist.
Please dont panic yet Chary. We dont know for sure. Phyllis very well may just have a very unfortunately coincidental abcess...

one lump would be bad enough. two lumps together is a very serious sign, although Josephine did write that there could be other causes.
Yes, Sebastian is a CL pig. We separated him before we aspirated his lumps. Cynthia and I did it in the downstairs bathroom wearing gloves and using lots of alcohol. The needles and gloves were immediately disposed of.
We have found an ER vet in South Pasadena who will aspirate the lumps (for a $95 exam fee, dear God) and send them out for cytology. The problem is, once we open those cysts, she becomes potentially very contagious. The only place I could isolate her would be a) outside--much too hot, or b) in the upstairs bathroom, which is adjoining the room where the dumpster pigs and itchy and scratchy are. But I still have to open that door from time to time if I want to shower and pee.

Vals got a point, maybe the vet clinic will keep Phy until the results come? How long does a cystology take?
