And then the pigs can be reunited again lol

Is that a photo of an abscess? Poor piggy girl.

I hope that the medications work and that she heals up very soon.

:yahoo:
What a relief! I've lived with rabbits--none of which ever suffered an abscess--but I always dreaded the possibility.

With her meds and some lovin' care, she'll be back to herself and her piggy high jinks in no time. ;)

It's great its not an abscess. I keep wondering if maybe it was cause by a "hay poke"? I don't know much about piggies but hay pokes are suppose to be pretty common. I really hope the new meds are working well for her And you see even more improvement soon. Get well soon little piggy

That could be the cause. Hay does get "stuck" in piggies other end, in particular, male pigs...:(
