Wow, I never thought that shavings could be so easily tainted. Or that they could develop a sensitivity. I guess this will be a good learning experience for all involved - hopefully it is just mites. The vet said if it's not just mites, it's likely a problem with an organ, and she'd need to...

He's in a custom chicken wired (well ventilated) cage three or four feet off the floor. Our bed is across the room and we use a small fan pointed away from his cage to keep it away as much as possible. In the summer the cage is moved in the opposite corner of the air conditioner, and they're...

I was just in the shower, and earlier this morning we moved him from his sick box back to his cage. We switched the cages from shavings to sheets, and I disinfected everything, including the cage. I forgot to mention that last night, he got out of his sick box (assuming through the small, 1"...

So I tried to give him a little wash down, but it wasn't happening. He was too smushed in to properly wash off the bad spots, and when he uncurled he bolted out of the pan. I did, however, put some polysporin on him. The first photo shows him after uncurling, then his current curled up state...

Also, I bought some 3% hydrogen peroxide today while I was out, as I remembered the mention of it in this thread. Do you suggest I use that? If so, how?

Here are some photos. I know you shouldn't give a bath to a sick hog, but he looks really dirty. Is it at all an option? I'm going to try to get him to a vet on Thursday. Until then I just really want to figure out what's wrong so I can treat him appropriately.

Hey guys. I posted this on another website last night and was recommended to come here. I'm gonna repost what I posted there and add a bit. I checked on him when I woke up which was about 13 hours later. His little pile of crickets has been torn through, his water is mostly gone, he's pooped...
