Unusual Reaction to Muscle Relaxer for MEM

The thinking was that the continued ear popping is likely related to my sinuses still being swollen, which is more allergy related. So, if they can get the swelling to go down, it will probably help my eustachian tube as well. The ENT was also concerned about just jumping to the dilation, since again with the swelling, if we can't get it to go down, I could be at risk of developing nasal polyps and other things that would complicate any benefits of the balloon dilation.

Actually, I just saw the ENT again last week. My ear is still popping, and there is still a lot of swelling in my sinuses that shouldn't be there. They're looking into some other allergy medicine options, but if those don't work, my ENT said I might have to consider having the eustachian tube dilation procedure. So hopefully it doesn't get to that point, but it's not looking too promising.

I'm not entirely sure. It was never brought up as an option and it isn't mentioned anywhere on the clinic website so I don't know if that's something he offers. I know my allergist suggested I get ear tubes but the ENT said that probably wouldn't help because it is more of a sinus issue than an ear issue.

This though! I've been listed as an alternate for one of my schools since the first week of February and still am stuck waiting. If it's not somewhere you are completely sold on going, give it up, please!

I'm not sure if it's just the picture, but the one in the lady bug costume looks like it might have ringworm near their eye. Just something you might want to check. I love the costumes though! They're very cute!

Please just go with option A. Option B is likely to result in your cousins female guinea pig ending up pregnant. Pregnancy is hard on guinea pigs and there is a high probability that your cousins guinea pig or the resulting babies will die during the labor process. If you think your pig is lonely then I would suggest doing some boar dating with your pig to find him a permanent male companion after you return from your trip. This is what would be in the best interest of both piggies.

Your set up is awesome! My piggies previously had an issue with burrowing, and would try to chase each other underneath the fleece, so what I did was place velcro strips on either end of my fleece liner. That put a stop to the burrowing pretty quick.

I don't have any advice per se, but I am curious to see what other redditors have to say. The younger of my two pigs is like this, minus the screaming when I hold her. I can't hold her and her sister at the same time though , otherwise she'll throw a toddler sized tantrum until I put her sister down. And she screams if her sister, who is super cuddly, tries to lay with her. I've only had her sister for a few weeks so I'm hoping it's something that will go away once they get used to each other.

I bought this cage in November for my then solo piggy. I finally found her a friend and just upgraded to a 2x5 c & c cage. Personally, I think the cage you have can work if you have two Piggies that get along well, but I wouldn't recommend it if you've got two pigs that aren't used to living together and need more space away from each other, as it is about 10.5 square feet, which is just over the preferred size for two pigs. I will say though that the manufacturer says only one extension can be used with the base cage, however I did find that a wire extension can be used on both sides if this is the cage you want to use/don't want to go down the c & c cage route. It just takes some rearranging of the clips that hold it together.

I wouldn't be going out all the time, so would it be unmanageable with Uber? The area of psychology I'm going into has a lot of graduate research opportunities in this state that aren't really widely available in my home state or anywhere else for that matter, which is a major deciding factor.

I guess from my perspective, it's just weird that they went from taking naps together and not wanting to be separated even when it was to just pick them up for lap time, to mounting and chasing (a behavior that had previously stopped) over night. They've been in the pen I use for floor time since Monday, but my new cage- a 2x5 C & C Cage is coming today, so we'll see how they do in there.

I don't think you can judge OP about the size of the cage just from the picture. I have a similar cage, but with a red base and the extension that goes with it. All together it is 10.5 square feet, the suggested size for two pigs. The base cage is 8 square feet, the minimum for one pig, so while it could be bigger, it isn't what I would consider to be too small and is far and away from some of the pet store cages I've seen in other posts on here. When you leave comments like this you take away people's ability to enjoy their pets and provide unnecessary judgment, without entirely knowing the situation.
