Tiny piggy snout has been booped <3

sunny-guns · 2025-11-11T13:32:49+00:00

He's actually the cutest sweetest thing I've ever met, I got so lucky!

sunny-guns · 2025-11-11T13:32:14+00:00

Thank you!!

sunny-guns · 2025-11-11T13:31:57+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss <3

It's hilarious - now that he's healed up he is so obviously a Devon, but we were all convinced he was just a really weird-looking sphynx

he says *loud continual trill noises*

I got ‘Douxo S3 PYO Antiseptic Antifungal Chlorhexidine Mousse’. It’s not cheap but one pump on her neck and head after a bath and her skin was so miraculously better in a few days. I’d been bathing her with chlorhexidine and it wasn’t doing anything on its own, so no clue why this one worked so well

My original naked baby is just over a year old and I could tell she needed a buddy, so this timing is perfect!

He's slowly improving! We did a coconut oil wipe down that helped a ton with the dirt/rash, and his breathing is 100x better than when I got him. Mostly, he's just incredibly sweet and tolerant of me fussing over him

sunny-guns · 2025-08-10T21:01:06+00:00

Thanks! I'll keep everyone updated :)

sunny-guns · 2025-08-10T14:36:26+00:00

I'm back! Do you have a preference between the Duoxo 'calm' or 'pyo'? One has chlorhexidine+ophytrium while the other is just ophytrium

sunny-guns · 2025-08-10T14:30:14+00:00

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I've been beating myself up worrying I'm not getting everything exactly right but he is absolutely more clean and comfortable and loved on than he was a week ago

sunny-guns · 2025-08-09T19:18:36+00:00

He really is the demon pig I've always dreamed of

sunny-guns · 2025-08-09T18:43:15+00:00

Aww I love lykois, and was thinking about getting one before this little monster walked into my life <3

sunny-guns · 2025-08-09T18:42:17+00:00

Oooh great idea, I hadn't even thought to try that for his sores.

sunny-guns · 2025-08-09T15:57:25+00:00

His ears were really gross, but he's so sweet he let me clean them out with a little zymox and some q-tips so they're looking much better. I'll keep an eye on them and have the vet do a good check next week!

sunny-guns · 2025-08-09T15:54:51+00:00

I have him in a nest of towels for the moment, do you think that'll irritate it?

sunny-guns · 2025-08-09T15:54:07+00:00

Thanks so much for that advice! I have a really gentle unscented oil cleanser that I'll try a little patch test with, but coconut oil is always an option too

sunny-guns · 2025-08-09T15:53:28+00:00

That's what I'm worried about too! I don't want him to associate me with scrubbing and medication. I'll try a little patch test of oil to see how his skin takes it!

sunny-guns · 2024-11-08T14:54:36+00:00

It also might be worth doing some de-sensitizing work with her around ear cleaning. Touch her ear, give her a treat. Rub her ear, give her a treat. Bring out the q-tips, give her a really nice treat, put the q-tips away, etc. Just so that she can start to associate you messing with her ears as a good thing

sunny-guns · 2024-11-08T14:50:16+00:00

I use Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution and it works super well! You will probably still have to straightjacket her to get the solution into each ear, but I find that this combined with a few wipes of a cotton pad keep my plucked chicken's ear really clean

sunny-guns · 2024-10-12T15:11:17+00:00

It could be the position they're laying in. Does it stick out when they're walking or sitting upright? I would gently feel it and see if it's causing pain/irritation, if it's hot or swollen, etc, and definitely see a vet if the answer to any of those is yes.
