The Southern Boars
Smokey is sick right now. He is losing weight, and although the vet is keeping them trimmed, he says that the shape of his mouth is such a way that the front teeth really don't meet well. Smokey loves to chew the bars, though and does it often.
He is congested and on Baytril, and today will be his third treatment in the nebulizer. He's active and excited about food, but it seems like neither him nor Louie gets all that excited about their pellets anymore - Oxbow Adult Cavy. Doc is keeping a close watch on his teeth.
Poor little man. He really hates Baytril. He's my oldest man, I got him in 2010. Just want that weight to go up. One thing that has changed is that they used to get a baby carrot every afternoon. But after Snickers bladder stone, those got taken away. He is currently sick of the sight of me.

Sorry it has been a while since I posted, and only with unhappy news, too. But...Smokey and Louie are headed to the vet this morning. Somebody (I think it's Smokey) is peeing pee close to the color of coffee. So that means bladder issues. I've been being really careful with everyone, too.
I'm trying not to get immediately whipped out of shape about this, but the last two pigs who had bladder problems needed surgery, and died immediately afterward. So. Anyway. Wish us luck or whatever you do. I think we need it.
