So after 4 operations since October Bumble's sqeeky wees are being caused by adhesions from the operations - he has just had his second 30 min session of physio and had acupuncture as well last week. He has come home with a letter from the pet physio at the rehab centre saying he is still very tight on his lower right hand side by his back legs - and I am to do a daily exercise with him at home - I am to make sure both his back legs are on the ground and I am to encourage him to step up onto my leg or onto a pillow by holding up a treat so that he has to stretch himself up.Will let you know how it goes.
 
I'd heard of piggies having physio before but never acupuncture. I hope Bumble starts to feel the benefit really soon x
