He is scabbed over pretty good, but the bottom one still kinda worries me a bit.....plus, right above the bottom one there is a hard knot under his skin. His incisions are closed up but still scabbed over. The day after tomorrow (Friday, the 13th) will be two weeks since he was castrated. He...
an egg that you found at the night time feeding after probably being laid this morning??? I am still not quite sure what the rules are when it comes to eggs.
Thanks!
Nice to know.....we have a really nice set up with a fully enclosed room with a door that he will be able to go in and out of.......I will have to get a LOT, and I mean A LOT, of hay!!!!!!!!!
Thanks SO much for your reply!
How do you guys give your pig heat? My hubby seems to think we should give him a heater in his house set at a certain temperature. I think we should do a heat lamp. What do you do? What is a good temp to keep his house at? When should I start giving him heat at night?
Thanks so much!
YES.....it is a dog/cat vet......and, I did know it was the scrotum, not the testicles that was cut, and the testicles removed. Could NOT think of the word scrotum this morning.

Thanks again for the replies.
So, I got the cutest dang pig a couple of months ago.....I feel so sad for him, sometimes to the point of tears because I feel that he is lonely. He is outside but we go out numerous times a day to spend time with him. My dogs hate him, even though he thinks it is all in good fun! (they are...
I will look really closely today for a small puncture.
Antibiotics from a vet......I am not sure there are any vets around here that will see her. I do know of one a few cities over, so I may have to see if I can get her in there.......are they liquid kind? Or pill? Doesn't sound very fun...
Anyone have any ideas? She is limping, her foot is not hot, she is a Buff, not sure how old as she was given to me. Not sure what to do for her. It is on the right in the picture.

Amazing how fast they grow.....and how beautiful they turn out from such adorable, cute little things!!!! I know don't need to explain what they do to my heart....I just adore the the crap out of them!!!
