Eriathwens piggies

Sending Willow healing vibes, he is gorgeous.
Great news Clover, looking forward to hearing lots more about her.
 
Aw poor Willow fingers crossed he make a full recovery x
Good new about Clover 😃
 
Thankyou ❤ Willow has peed 3 times now, but no poops still, getting a little concerned but will see how he does tomorrow. Hes doing really well in himself though!

Mistys xrays were clear, 3 vets looked at them to try to figure out whats going on with her.. at the moment we still don't have any idea but we at least have a plan re painkillers, referrals if needed. Potentially its adhesions near the kidneys? But just as likely not. Its incredibly frustrating not knowing whats wrong with her but I guess its just one of those things, I'm so grateful for my vets input because I dont have a damn clue what to do to help her now.. but if needs be we will get her out to see a specialist if her painkillers don't keep her comfortable.
 
Poor Willow, hope you get some movement soon x
How frustrating and worrying for you, wonder what it could be? Your vets sound really good and enthusiastic to find out what the problem is with Misty though, let’s hope it’s nothing serious x
 
Typical of my pigs, its a mystery 😅 he really is a good vet, not sure how id have stayed sane this last year without him! And id have certainly lost more pigs than I have done.
 
We are collecting Clover at 2pm! .. but its also exactly 2 months since we collected Oliver and Fern, on day 1 of the November lockdown, who thought we would be right back at the start of another one 🤣 oh well. What a difference 2 months and 250g of weight makes! Shame I dont have many decent before pictures of Fern, Oliver barely looks like the same pig!

Just got home with Clover, she is very skittish, first pig in a while whose managed to scoot off out of my grasp and across the sofa 🤣 luckily she didn't get far. Shes a tiny little thing with massive eyes! Very sweet piggy I think underneath the initial nervousness. I think she will fit in well, I cant wait to see if she remembers Poppet as she is from the same place. She is about 2 years old, and look at those sticky up ears! Its been ages since I had an upright eared piggy lol

Me too 😅 she reminds me so much of one of my first ever piggies, Badger, except she had a nose stripe..and was enormous haha I have a bit of a soft spot for roans because of her!
 
Of gosh what a beauty! Really unusual colouring, lovely, yes wonder if she remembers Poppet? Love roaning in piggies, it’s lovely
 
Shes a lovely little thing, and in fact pretty fearless when she thinks she might get some food out of it haha shes already screaming for dinner with the rest of them and will happily take food from my hand :) her massive eyes give her such funny little expressions.

Aw she is so trusting already ❤️
 
She did it! I'm going to be easing back on her nightly syringe feed over the next week to see how well she maintains the weight and if she does well, id say she's strong enough to handle the stress of bonding and can go in with the herd! If that goes well I will see if my vets are doing elective surgeries this time round and book Oliver in to be neutered so he can eventually join her.

Thankyou! In typical Fern fashion, we solve one issue and then get another 🤣 poor sausage has broken one of her top incisors, problem is the break is so far below the gumline the tooth won't fall out, but its so loose it wobbles and she can't bite anything. All her veggies are soft leaves or grated for now 🤦‍♀️ never mind, next week she won't have any bars to bite and break teeth on, providing the herd accept her!

Aw, what a shame, my Bill broke an incisor at gum line and had a wobbly incisor. We rushed him to the vets who arrange an appointment for the following day for GA to remove the broken part of the wobbly tooth and by the time we got home it had come out. Their teeth grow so fast it should push out in a day or so x
 
Oh Bill! Bless him. Typical isnt it, ive a feeling that's exactly what would happen with Fern too, its sticking forward slightly so it shouldn't be too long before it falls out, I did give it a very gentle wobble but its not ready yet, its quite long compared to the others now so I'm keeping a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't start irritating the bottom of her mouth, if it gets too long she might need to go in to either have it trimmed shorter or removed, but we will see, fingers crossed by the morning its gone!
 
Fingers crossed 🤞 I dont usually have missing teeth to deal with, I think when Bramble lost one it only took about a week or so but I cant remember, I'm sure my vets would be happy to burr the lower ones if needed, although Fern might be a bit less happy about it 😅 I'm so glad its out, her mouth seemed quite uncomfortable for a while.
