Its been an interesting week for Skipper! Due to swelling in his left leg, we have put him back on a course of antibiotics. He is responding well (although when he sees me coming with it, he is surprisingly agile!) and the swelling is going down. Yesterday, we had yet more new abcesses. These are much higher on his hind legs. All of the abcesses we have seen have started where mudfever or rainrot has been present. It really demonstrates the importance of dealing with these conditions immediately before they escalate into something much more serious.
Othello and Skipper are becoming great buddies and when they don't have their heads stuck in the hay feeder, they can be found grooming each other!
The piggies have been very demanding this week! Apparently it is not time for bed until they have been thoroughly scratched and rubbed:) This is wonderful, but with the -17 temperatures of the weekend, it was a chilly activity!
