It never rains........

Ouch that sounds painful but hopefully he bounces back quick to show off to his cage mate with his new party trick
 
Come on Ginger we’re all rooted for you 🥰
Glad he’s home and you’ve got the meds for him - take care as it’s been tough for you
 
Thanks for all your good wishes for Ginger Pig. He is a little worse for wear this morning. His back legs are a bit wobbly and he is a bit swollen. I rang the vet and they didn't seem too concerned. I am to continue to syringe feed him and monitor him, i can take him in any time if he deteriorates.

He ate all is veggies and 10ml of syringe feed and then nibbled hay for a while. He peed and pooped while i was feeding him so everything is working ok. He is sleeping now.

This is the stone that was removed from his urethra. Lucky that it didn't get stuck further up as he would probably have not survived. It must have been very painful for him.

Oh poor Ginger Pig, that’s a huge stone, he will feel so much better once he has recovered from his op. Keep on munching brave little man x
 
Ouch that is big.
Hope he starts to improve more, it’s good he’s eating. Get lots of rest and recover well Ginger Pig.
 
Omg poor Ginger! That was a huge stone to be stuck in a tiny urethra. Sending Ginger (and you Yvonne) gentle hugs x
 
Poor Ginger, that stone must have been so uncomfortable. I'm pleased to hear he's eating well. Sending Ginger bucket loads of healing vibes.
 
Gosh that’s an enormous stone for a piggy - thank goodness it’s out - sending lots of healing to lovely Ginger 🥰
 
i hope Ginger feels better soon now that the stone is removed.sending positive thoughts.its emotionally draining looking after ill piggies.hugs.xx
 
Ginger Pig would like everyone to know that he has finally got out of his sick bed today. He is hoping this means no more of the yucky syringe feed. Even though his back legs are not quite obeying his brain properly (this could be because of the very high dose of Gabapentin) so he is a bit wobbly.

I was getting worried as he hadn't really moved for two days and then tonight he suddenly started to wander around the cage, had a chew of the hay cube and then sat himself down in the hay pile. Fingers crossed he is on the road to recovery.xx

No one tell Ginger Pig he is still getting the recovery food for a couple more days.
