He's still up and down. He was eating yesterday. Today, he isn't. So we don't know how long before he really gets better and back to normal. We go to C&R weekly so they can flush the wound properly. We've been o Thursday and the wound is almost closed now! We hope it still stays open until our next appointment on Friday next week.
 
A message from Rocky...

Hi my fans! (Mummy said I have fans here!)

This is me today after I came back from Cat & Rabbit. Uncle Simon has lanced my abscess again. But Aunty Kim said not much puss came out but there were loads of dried flaky gunk in there that came out. Daddy had to flush it again and I have to take nasty antibiotics again.

Anyway, that's all for now. Mummy hopes I get better soon and starts eating again. 🤞

Rocky 😊

I’m your biggest fan Rocky. I’ve got everything crossed that you start getting better soon. We miss your boarish antics. Lots of kisses and lettuce from four owners and their slave 😘
 
No I’m the biggest! :D :love: Hope it wasn’t too horrible Rocky, it will all help your gorgeousness heal! Massive hugs to you all and a big smooch for Rocky from me and Cleo 😘 x

Ooooh Rocky - that does not look nice at all.
We all hope that the nasty abscess heals properly now and you start munching your hay and feel better soon.

Just an update with Rocky.

He is still the same. Although more downs than ups. He is still being syringe fed and occasionally, he would eat a little by himself. His weight is around 1180-1240g at the moment. We've been to C&R today and his teeth were bad and there are still abscess. He's been like this since the last week of March. 😔

Anyway, last night, after his last feed at around 2:30am, he started choking non stop. I was panicking and woke up hubby coz Rocky's eyes seemed to roll back, his lips has gone white and when I put him on the sofa, he was flat and completely went limp. I was rubbing his chest and stomach while waking hubby. Good thing hubby managed to get Rocky back by continuous rubbing of chest while facing downward to get rid of whatever blockage he had. He was hooting and we made sure he coughed out until his breathing settled. I was crying last night thinking we would be burying him in the morning! 😭😭 I do not want to experience that again. It's not very nice seeing your piggy dying of choking, especially when they can't vomit. It took around 30-45 mins for him to breathe back normally. I didn't sleep until an hour after just to make sure he is fine after. 😫
 
I’m so sorry you had such a fright last night 😥 I’m really hoping the ups become more frequent than the downs.

Thank you. What happened last night really scared me and made me so conscious and worried of syringe feeding him in case I cause another bouts of choking. 😭

The abscess has really taken a toll on him and we don't know when we'll gonna get rid of it. We are just taking each day at a time and I know Rocky will show us if he really had enough of everything. At the moment he still seems okay and sometimes shows interest in eating by himself, despite everything. 🤞
 
I’m so sorry he’s still not getting better with the abscess @anyar.dris, I really hope he’s going to shift it soon and start eating properly again. He’s such a fighter, come on Rocky boy! ❤️❤️
How scary with his choking, I’m so glad he’s ok and really hope you are too. I actually lost my lovely ratty Naughty Boy that way, has haunted me for years that I couldn’t save him, it was terrifying :( Try not to worry about it happening again, it was hopefully just a one-off and he’s ok now:hug:
Me and the piglets are sending lots of positive vibes and massive hugs for you all x And Luigi sends a huge kiss for you 😘 x
 
Aw, I’m so sorry to hear about Rocky, I was thinking about him the other day. Sending big hugs to you and your hubby, it’s trying times at the moment for you both, hold strong for your beautiful boy. I do hope Kim and Simon can get on top of this awful abscess and Rocky can get back to full health soon x
 
So sorry that Rocky is still struggling.
What a fright you had with him. Hope the shock for you both is easing.
Holding you in my thoughts
 
Hope Rocky is showing some improvement. The boys and I are sending you lots of love. It's such a horrible time to go through when they are poorly.
Here if you ever need to talk 💗
 
Sorry for not updating much about Rocky coz he is still the same. His weight ranges from 1160g-1220g at the moment. Anyway, we went to C&R yesterday and hubby was the one who went with him inside and talked to Kim.

Kim said there's not much abscess that they can remove from him yesterday so that may mean the Marbocyl is working, albeit slowly. She did some dental work coz he isn't eating hay and grass. The wound is now tiny but we can still flush the abscess out.

Here are some photos from our last night's feeding. He is still perky and fights a lot when I give him CC but he likes the mushed grain free Science Selective pellets and the porridge. Sometimes he loves the blended carrots so much and wouldn't even let go of the syringe. 😁
