    Is it swollen?

    Pretty much no other symptoms. Eating and pooping. Last week, petunia seemed to feel a little under the weather and was lethargic but eating and (less than often pooping). So… acting completely normal….. but looks swollen….am I just paranoid? Its between 11-13 months old.

    I have joined the club :-)

    Check them out, I was finally able to join the club! I was able to snatch them up before anyone else got them. I am excited to have them. I have an issue though. Does the smaller one look like it has a swollen eye? Someone told me they though it could be swelling of the conjunctiva. I...
