Hi

To be honest, I havent heard of this condition before. Can you tell me a bit about what you feed your piggy.

Answer
Hi again

So the diet you give him is well-balanced and good. I have absolutely no idea about this problem as it is something I have never come across in all my time doing this piggy stuff and owning piggies.

I would consult an experienced vet for an answer or search www.guinealynx.info which has lots of medical stuff on it although I couldnt find anything about this condition.
