We think our little rusty may be deaf.

A while back she had an ear infection and was prescribed antibiotics.

It's only recently we've really noticed sound doesn't bother her.

Example we got a new hoover the other 3 absolutely darted when I turned it on. Rusty just sat there looking at me hoover eating her hay.

I tried the clap test tonight. Again other 4 darted rusty not bothered.

I'm not concerned as she's healthy and happy and tbh is the friendliest little pig. Out of my 4 she's rhe most social and hardly runs away from us so it's good and bad really!

Of my 4 she rarely squeaks and when she does its very gentle like she can't hear herself.

She's often found sleeping and won't move until you're right up close to her.

We're also now on top of the abcess which lasted around 10 weeks. She certainly keeps us on our toes!
