baileys_mum Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I got up today to find 2 of my pigs had had a fight in the night One had a huge hole in his face, and loads of hair ripped from his body. I took him to the vets which didn't seem to help much. Good job I know my stuff otherwise they would have just fobbed me off. So, I came out £20 down, bith a tiny bottle of batriyl stuff and told to come back in a week. No showing me how to clean the wounds or anything, needless to say I am very much annoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
