Anniversary Herd
I have just given Velvet her weekly check and found a rather nasty looking discharge which I cleaned away very gently using a cotton bud and some warm water. I have made an appointment with the vet for 3.25 this afternoon. Hopefully it's nothing too sinister.

So do I! Will report back later. I have put the cotton bud in a new tiny press lock bag and am taking it with me along with my camera so that I can show the vet.Poor Velvet. Good luck for this afternoon hope it’s either nothing to worry about or easy to fix.
No it was def out of her lady bits @Tiamolly123. They looked wet which immediately put up the red flag and then I saw the discharge.Hope everything turns out well. I feel I shouldn't mention this, because your an advanced member. Could it be out of her grease gland.
Good to know, thanks! Piggle's grease gland has always looked a bit more obvious that the other ladies, I'll take a good look tomorrow. Should a bum bath help? And sorry @Betsy that Piggle has hijacked Velvet's thread, she does that with all the hay trays and veggies too, she's a right attention seeker...Poor Velvet. Healing vibes for a speedy recovery xx
@PigglePuggle sows can have overactive grease glands too. My late Eliza had an overactive grease gland x

This is the look I got from Velvet this morning after yet another dose of yukky Baytril. Talk about Stink eye!Just got back from the vet and Velvet has a uti. She is on Baytril at 0.2 ml twice a day and 0.6ml Metacam twice a day for 7 days. The vet also said I had to get more water into her. So I will be syringing in 2ml before and after each medication. I think I got her to the vet quickly just at the start of it as she hasn't been doing squeeky wees.
