the vet just recently came to the conclusion that my Moo pig is a heart pig... and I have to thank you for even alerting me that her heart might be what's causing these issues...

[thalestral]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. I guess the good news is that it's a totally manageable condition, there are some heart piggies on GL that are a ripe old age!

I'm really glad if Rosie's story can help any other piggie :)
