Hi everyone
Got a couple of questions - hope someone can advise.
Our male lionhead cross Mogwai - Boris - seems to have weepy eye. There is no gunge in his eye, it seems clear with just a faint redness around it. But he is obviously weeping a bit from it - his fur underneath is a bit matted. We clean it when he lets us with just some warm water. I think his teeth are okay - he eats like a wee pig (and makes the appropriate sounds for a pig) and when he was neutered 2 months ago we had his teeth checked and they were fine. Could this be a blocked tear duct - and if so, what can be done about it? He is very hard to handle - fine with being stroked but won't be picked up or held and goes into complete panic at the vets so would rather not take have to take him if at all possible.
We also have a lionhead doe - 4.5 months old - (Harley) and she does lots of normal poops, but every now and then she does these massive, soft, poops - looks like baby slugs. She is on 25 grams of pellets each day and all the hay she can eat so was just wondering what this could be? She seems to eat her poops (the ones she supposed to) so just wondering what these are? She is absolutly fine in herself - extremly lively and seems very healthy.
Thanks everyone.
