piglet Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 My RIR had peritintitus earlier this summer, the vet drained the fluid & gave her anti inflammatory meds I was pleased to see she made a good recovery she has been through a full moult & was back to her normal self, but earlier in the week I noticed she didn't seem able to poo. I eventually caught her to have a look I could see her vent was very dirty with a build up of poo, I immediately brought her in and bathed her (not easy she doesn't enjoy a bath) but on closer inspection once id cleaned the poo away it looks like rubber egg underneath stuck to the skin all round the vent. It was very sore so i cleaned as much as i could at a time & I have had to do this another 2 times until as much of the crust has been removed. I've sprayed her with super plume for now as that as aloe Vera & anti bacterial tea tree in it. Has any one else had this occur? Should I take her to the vets or see how she is in a few days. She is eating & drinking normally & is quick enough on her feet when I try to catch her. Any advice will be great fully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It sounds like it might be a lash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 My vet removes the meat lumps... Personally then I would take steps to prevent further eggs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
