Pigging Out

He’s definitely looking a bit happier to me bless him! :wub: So glad he’s fighting that abscess, even if it’s taking a while (I know that feeling :doh:)! Hope it’s all gone soon and he’s back to his gorgeous Rocky self! Lots of hugs and healing vibes from us lot :hug:x
Gorgeous piggy pics :luv:
 
Rocky is still the same, unfortunately. His wound is not big anymore, but it's still leaking of puss. So I just have to wipe it after every feeding. We went to C&R on Thursday and Kim said there isn't much abscess in there. His teeth needed fixing again. He was eating some for 2 days before his dental and he's gone off eating again right after. It usually takes him around 4/5 days after dentals to try eating again. We don't really know what will happen. We are still trying and taking each day as it comes. We are hoping he would get back to normal, but we know there's a chance that it will end not good. So for now, we just do what we still can for him. He is going back to see Kim again on Monday next week.

Here he is during feeding time.

I’m sorry he’s not bouncing back as you expected or thought he would. Sounds like you’re making the most of every day. Wishing you all the best 🥰
 
Beautiful piggies :wub::wub::wub:
Sorry Rocky still hasn’t got rid of that nasty abscess @anyar.dris, I was thinking of you yesterday :hug:He’s definitely trying to compete with Pedro for the most troublesome facial abscess that won’t go away anyway! 🤦‍♀️ As long as he’s happy that’s the important thing though and he definitely looks much more cheery on your pics! As well as blooming gorgeous of course :luv:
Massive hugs and hope his appt goes well on Monday x
 
Aw poor Rocky, it’s a long haul isn’t it, but you are doing everything you can for him, I’m sure you’ll get rid of that nasty abscess soon Rocky and be back chomping away again x
 
Update on Rocky:

Well, he is bunged up again and was in pain this morning. So hubby has given him Emeprid and increased the dose of Loxicom. 😔 Had to cancel going to see in-laws in Liverpool today coz I don't want him getting more uncomfortable during the journey (we always bring him since he started having the jaw abscess so we can feed him while we are there).

Update on Sierra:
For the past week, she kept on eating the puppy pads under the fleece (the ones that are exposed). So I had to fully hide them and replaced the ones where they have the hay on the floor with the Ikea bath mats. She has resulted now to digging up! I'm trying to look for washable pads that are smaller in size that I can put under the fleece instead of the pupy pads.

I weighed her yesterday and she weighed 1520g (from being 1612g on Saturday!). Noticed there were mushy poops and found out it was her. This morning, she weighed 1460g! So there's something going on. Last night, I noticed her that she was a bit quiet. She was also straining when pooping and peeing for a few days now. So I'm thinking her ovarian cysts might be starting to affect her, or there's something else. So I phoned Derwent Vets and booked her to be seen by Ellie Whitehead on Friday. Might do a scan of her as well.

Oh these piggies... 😔😑
 
So sorry you have two poorly piggies at the moment, it’s so hard for you, sending hugs x
Hoping you can find out what’s wrong with Sierra, and get your poor chap Rocky better soon 🤞
 
Sorry to hear this. Glad you've booked a vet appointment. Hope you can still take care of yourself too.
 
It's not looking good for Rocky. I don't think he will stay with us for another day if he doesn't perk up. 😭 He has pooped loads now but he is still lethargic and looking bad. 💔
 
I’m so sorry you’re getting blows from two directions. Got everything crossed that Rocky will make some kind of miraculous turn. The important thing is he has you two slaves trying to make him comfortable and giving him lots of happy todays. I also hope whatever is up with Sierra can be sorted easily. Hugs.
 
We took Rocky an hour ago to be PTS. He was lethargic, he can't walk much and felt weak, and we noticed his mouth was white. He was pooping loads though. So when the vet saw us, she checked on Rocky in our car and saw that he had quite a lot of poops on his fleece lap pad. So she took him inside to check him further and took an xray of him. She said he's full of gas but he seems to be starting to shift for the better and the guts are moving since he keeps on pooping. She said to see overnight what will happen and continue what we are doing.

We are giving him emeprid and loxicom. We are putting him on a massager to make sure there are movements. We are feeding him few CC but often. So Rocky is here to live another day. Fingers crossed he pull through overnight. He stinks though coz of all the pooping and probably farting at the same time, coz it does smell that bad.
