Lovely to see the piggies. Sounds like you’ve had your hands full. Well done on getting on top of the bloat so quickly.

Thank you. I was worried about him.

 

[Merab]

Lovely to see you again.
We missed you.
Good to see all your piggies thriving and happy that Womble recovered quickly from his bloat.
Hope you are ok now.

Thank you. Womble is great now, his normal self again and I'm on medication, which did have some horrible side effects for a couple of weeks but now I have adjusted. Thank you for hoping I'm ok. I hope you and your guineas are well.

 

[Bradshaw Piggies]

It's lovely to have you back! So glad to hear that Womble is on the mend. Hope you are well too

 

[Kellykels]

Pinto does the chonky leg and has a le lounge.
I'm talking to Pinto. Truffle head butts her hide and peeks out curiously to see if I have anything.
Womble comes out only for food and does zero poses. He sniffs at the phone camera and looks disgruntled when food doesn't come fast enough for his liking.
How very dare!

It's lovely to see you and your piggies. Especially the lovely Womble

Poor old Womble has gone and got himself an absecess. It's burst and everything, I was picking him up and noticed a mark near his boar bits.

It looked like dirt so I tried to get a better look, knocked it ever so slightly and green pus came out.

I spoke to a vet and she said to keep it clean with salt solution and F10 wound spray which we are getting as soon as we can.
I cleaned it out with the saline solution and drained some of the pus gently with a ear cleaning bud dipped in saline solution and he seems ok in himself. We're going to see the vet again on Monday.

Here are some pics. Please don't look if you're uncomfortable with boar bits/wounds.

 

[Merab]

Poor Womble.
Abscesses are no fun.
Glad you were able to consult a vet so promptly.
Hope the Monday vet trip goes well.

 

[VickiA]

Poor Womble. Abscesses are not nice at all. Well done for getting to grips with it and I hope all goes well on Monday.

Let us know what the vet says. Poor Womble.

 

[LollyJJ]

Oh no, get well soon Womble, hope he's ok until Monday and the vet can sort it out

 

[Bill & Ted]

Oh no poor little Womble, he’s such a beautiful grumpy old man Hope you can get that nasty abscess sorted soon. Ginger has had an op to remove and cyst and a wart on Friday, she looks a bit beaten up but she is doing well.
It’s lovely to see you back, hope you are feeling better X
Pinto is just a sunny little bundle of fur, I can see exactly what you mean

 

[alpacasqueak]

Aw poor Womble, not in the nicest place either bless him! Hope the vet trip goes well and he’s healed in no time. Big healing vibes and hugs to gorgeous Womble (and you!) x

 

[Kellykels]

Antibiotics for my little man and painkillers and a probiotic of course!
So the usual Baytrail, Loxicom, Fibreplex combo with a clean of the area with saline solution twice a day along with medicines. He does not care of Baytrail and he swipes at me with his foot trying to get the syringe away.

He's not best pleased.
Now runs away when we approach and very wary even if there's food involved. Please trust us again Womble, it's all for your own good.

 

[Betsy]

Do you immediately follow up the yukky Baytril with yummy Metacam?

Do you immediately follow up the yukky Baytril with yummy Metacam?

Yes we do and a sneaky little veggy treat.

 

[Merab]

Poor boy.
It’s hard dealing with piggy meds as you can’t explain to them that it’s only for a few days and will make them feel better.
Womble is in excellent hands.

 

[Kellykels]

Womble loves conking out in the middle of his hay pile. I'm a bit concerned because he's had a couple of mushy poohs today (not diarrhoea, just soft and mishapen.) which is probably down to the medicine, but -knock on wood- he's still eating and drinking and milling around in his usual way. He's just more wary of us due to medication times and wound cleaning times.

I've down sized his veggie portions which I now only use to get fibreplex in him. He isn't happy about this development. I'm getting dirty looks.
I hope he gets better soon.

 

[Merab]

It takes time for the meds to work which is hard when we want them to be better immediately.
Good call on cutting down the veggies even if it does get you dirty looks.
Holding you in my thoughts

 

[Kellykels]

Whenever they get cleaned out properly and get new, fresh hay, they get really excited. Womble does a few guinea shakes and a popcorn. Pinto had a pootle about and did a few popcorns and Truffle ran some happy laps after she had explored. Womble seems better in himself and I can barely see where the abscess was now. He's happy in himself.

 

[Betsy]

Oh you is just gawjuss Womble! So glad you are feeling better.

 

[VickiA]

Lovely to see the gorgeous Womble

 

[Bill & Ted]

sending Womble lots of healing vibes, hope you are getting better now x

Womble ready for his close up.
