I received your book and read it all right away! I picked up some very good information and am going to work on our Elisabeth's aggression. We did get her at about 6 weeks of age and I am sure this contributes to her agressive tendancies.
I emailed you a while ago about Elisabeth's eyes which are always runny. (brown liquid which gets crusty) You mentioned that this is not normal and that I should get it checked out and I also saw reference to this in your book. Is there something that you recommend to rectify this? any medication or other such remedy? We live in Barrie (just north of Toronto) in Canada. Pot bellied pigs are not a common thing in Canada. Do you know of any vets or specialists in Ontario? I take Elisabeth to a large animal vet (he does not specialize in Pot bellies)
Thanks again for your wonderful book and I welcome any additional advice you could share re her eyes!

Note from Kathleen:
About Elisabeth's eyes. There can be several reasons for the brown crusty eyes - infection, sacroptic mange reaction, allergies. It would be a good idea to have the Vet do a test on the brown crustation around her eyes to determine exactly the best method of treatment.
