Precious aka Miss Van Gogh Miss Van Gogh is a young female special-needs pig from a shelter. She had a mass on her left ear that was removed at the shelter vet. There was a problem with a rear leg ... maybe the inflamed broken toenail on the left rear foot. She is underweight (she weighs 528 grams), has a head tilt, and possible mites. Along with her ear where the scab fell off, areas that need to be watched: rear end where there was stiff and wet urine-soaked hair and the area around her eyes (there is slight hair loss around the left eye and possible flakes). She had a Nizoral bath and is currently receiving TMS/Bactrim twice a day and Metacam once a day (just for a couple of days for the toenail) and Oxbow's Vitamin C. In addition, the inflamed toe is being soaked twice a day. She will receive a standard-intake preventative dosing of Ivermectin: once a week for three weeks for any mites. She is very sweet and loves to eat! UPDATE 11-24-07: Precious was assessed by her vet tonight about 10:00pm. The ear mass had returned aggessively, was bleeding, and causing extreme pain so she was humanely PTS. Album by Guinea Pig Fun. Photos by Guinea Pig Fun/Kathy/Lizz/Sac SPCA. 1 - 29 of 29 Total.
