Thanks so much! Mapquest says 32 minutes; about the same as Barberton, but Metro is still closest. I'll have to check him out and see what I think.

He looks miles better without the eye. Glad he's doing well!

I think you'll be loads happier with Faust. =)

I will definitely call him next time I need a pig vet (not in the near future, I hope). I know you really prefer him over "the other", so I'll give him a try. I really do like Dr. Selig - I get the impression Dr. Faust is a similar personality, but with more experience?

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.
