Hello all, I have a boar named Laszlo who is unknown age (someone dumped him outside and I found him) but estimated to be at least 4yo. Long story short, we have been dealing with chronic UTIs with multiple negative x-rays for months. I see a great exotic vet who I trust. 3 days ago, he had a...

Hello all, Our little lad Little John had an operation to remove a bladder stone on Monday last week (30th May). He is now looking much happier, eating fresh food, nuggets and hay and drinking water. He is weeing and pooing regularly and the poo seems normal. We stopped giving him Baytrill...

Hey guys! The time has come to introduce my little man to a little woman, but not until he get's his 'business' removed. He's 8 months old, lively, good weight and we've bonded really well, so I'm hoping all will go well with his operation. This has to be done as he needs a little cage mate and...
