Noticed today ozzy isn’t in the hay as much at all today and during floor time he just laid in his pouch. Hoping it isn’t a trip to the vet, will keep an eye on him today and syringe feed him tonight if he’s still the same and get him off to the vet tomorrow. Fingers crossed my boy isn’t poorly
 
Fingers crossed for little Ozzy. Hopefully nothing more than an off day.

thank you, very easy to tell with my two since they’re hay hoovers, he’s having some forage at the minute which is a good sign x
 
Am I ok to give him a small dose of loxicom? Still have some from when he was poorly before, If not will just keep an eye on him
 
I hope he's okay, but my piggy has pneumonia right now and it started with wet patches around the eyes, he seemed calmer than usual as he is normally very skittish, and when he did not come out to eat and was floppy was when we knew something was wrong with him and took him to the vet. Fingers crossed for your piggy and mine. 🤞

I'm just honestly not sure! I can usually tell but this time it's a bit all over, he seems happy but he's more in the pouches/tunnels than the hay which is odd!
 
sorry for constantly posting but how long would you leave it until seeing a vet?
 
Aah bless him, got a cold bum on the scales! :)) Glad he’s weight looking ok. I’d do the same as @Siikibam and keep an eye on him today but get him in tomorrow if you’re still worried he’s not right xx

I know, hard work sometimes these piglets! 🙄🤦‍♀️ She’s ok thanks, sounded like she was dying yesterday with her scary noises to get me panicked but seems to be back to her diva-self today, just with a few bogeys! XD Xx

Thanks a lot, me too when she’s 3 months, I’m even more of a worrier with her being a baby than normal if that’s possible! :blink::)) Hope Ozzy keeps munching today:hug:xx
