No symptoms, just acting a bit off?

Vet appointment already booked but thought I'd see if anyone could offer some advice in the meantime?

Maggie is a 7yr old sow, she had an abscess on her jaw last year and has recently recovered from a bacterial skin infection but is otherwise in good health.
I've just come back from a weekend away and something's off. She's got an appetite - but is eating slowly, she's pooping and peeing, but isn't bothered about interacting with the others. She sleeps a lot now that she's an OAPiggie- but she's been facing the wall, and so away from the others.

Any advice, if you've experienced a similar thing, would be a great help.

Thankyou :)

All I can offer is support.
A mystery issue is hard to deal with but you’ve done the best thing in getting a vet appointment.
Hope that goes well.
7 is a grand age, a tribute to your love and care
 
One of my boys also seems a bit "off" but he's only two. He's not losing weight and his vet check was all clear but his poops are a bit smaller than usual. He doesn't seem to be in pain but has metacam on standby.
I've got him on daily weighing and am giving him a bit of emeraid daily. He just adores anything from a syringe so it's not stressful for him and makes me feel like I'm doing something. Maybe a little support feed would perk up your girl?
 
I hope Maggie is OK. You know Maggie the best and if you think something isn't right then trust your instincts. It's good that you have a vet appointment. Let us know how it goes.
