I remember that. Sadly, sometimes there is just too much going wrong! xMy piggy with dental issues had them caused by an abscess but Kim felt that a jaw deformity, likely to be from inbreeding was behind the abscess as well and even if we had managed to get on top of the pneumonia, then the abscess, the overgrown molars and possible elongated roots the feeling was that she would soon go back to square one due to the deformity
So sad, sorry to hear this, what age did it start causing issues?
Aww, bless her! Did Kim not cover her ears, before saying anything? I find it so sweet when Kim puts her hands over their ears, before saying something like 'it wouldn't be wrong to send them to heaven'.I just had to search the forum. I got her from RSPCA Walsall and she had an extra toe from the inbreeding too. I had her around 2 years and I can't remember her exact age but I'm assuming it would have been around 6 months when I got her. The tooth problems started with an abscess that blew up in her cheek on Christmas Eve just a few months before she finally passed. To be honest I partially believe that she heard what Kim had to say and thought enoughs enough. She went that night.
She put her hands over sky's ears when she called him geriatric. He was being diagnosed with arthiritis in one back leg and spine I thinkAww, bless her!

I see how you partially beleive that, it's like how I beleive never to say any of you're animals have never had a certain thing wrong, it will and does happen if you say it. There's many ilnnesses my pigs Havnt had that are common, and I just will not dare say about it. You can say my Guinea pig has never had bloat, then suddenly something will happen to another pet.

But what causes the abscess.I've had 3 dental piggies and all was caused by abscess! We hate abscess here in our house coz it does a lot of damage.
Simon has told us in the past that as simple as a hay pricking a gum can cause abscess.But what causes the abscess.

I feed a mixture of all sorts. I feed mainly mixed salad leaves, plus herbs, kale and peppers and I feed a lot more veg than most people on here feed. My vet feels sure this is why none of our piggies have ever had bladder issues, as they get such a wet diet. He says whilst they need a lot of hay, it’s also a very dry diet and therefore more veg should be fed.Ok i will be making a more conscious effort to get some grass to be munched on! I thought leafy greens like kale and broccoli had to be limited due to too much calcium or have i got that wrong?
Do they seem to put on. Lot of weight with the ‘extra’ amount of veg you feed them?I feed a mixture of all sorts.

No, It’s not fattening, as it has such a high water content.Do they seem to put on. Lot of weight with the ‘extra’ amount of veg you feed them?
