K.C. has a cloudy looking spot on his eye.
Wonderful, Possibly blind and maybe a heart problem too. Sigh.. The joys of pig slavery.
Thanks Mum.
Thanks Mum.
I know I guess my concern is that we already don't give these guys enough attention. If we have a heart pig wouldn't it take a lot more attention then with a normal pig, to make sure he stays healthy? I would hate to lose him because of neglect. (One of the reasons we are trying to rehome some of our boys.)
Plus we are already struggling with bills and things. X-rays and check-ups will really be hard on us right now.
Don't get me wrong we will do everything we can for him, it's just bad timing I guess.

Sir GP has a grayish area in one eye, and the vet diagnosed a cataract. I think these can be either hereditary or the result of an injury. Apparently he will eventually lose sight in one or both eyes, but from what I understand, blind pigs usually do pretty well.

WOW, I just listened to the "KC Hooting."
My little Maude makes that sound, I just thought she had sinus trouble.
Maude is by far the smallest of all my pigs and hides all the time. now, to think that she might be a "heart pig." Oh dear.
Thank you so much for the information.

If I'm not mistaken "hooting" is not a sure sign of heart problems right? But it is usually good bet?
