Prayers needed for Coco!

I've just had a call from Simon. He's x-rayed the jaw and there are very significant changes to the right jaw joint, to the point where it looks like the joint has pretty much been obliterated, most likely by an abscess. He's burred all the teeth and they are now perfect, but whether she will be able to use the teeth is at this point uncertain, due to the jaw joint damage. We are going to start her on a strong antibiotic and see whether she is able to manage any better over the next couple of weeks. With the amount of damage to that jaw joint, it is looking unlikely, but we want to give her the best possible chance.
 
Oh my that poor little Coco.
She's getting the best tlc.
I hope she learns and manages to eat little and lots. x
 
Wow, poor little Coco. She’s been given the best chance possible. Hope she does ok.
 
Poor little Coco. Really hope the antibiotics make a difference to her.
Sending massive healing vibes and hugs.xx
 
Aw, poor little mite, hoping this works. Hugs to you I know how much you care x
 
Poor Coco, what a nightmare she's had in her short little life :( Really hope the meds help and she can get through it all x
 
Early days, but Coco is making some progress. She's been out in the run today, with her sister, Snowy and has been eating some grass. She struggles to get it into her mouth, due to her jaw not moving on the right side, but once she's got it into the correct position, she manages to eat it quite well. I've never known a piggy with such determination and if anyone can learn to eat, with such restricted movement, she can!
 
She's rewarding you with her will to eat.
Bless the little love many a animal would have curled up and waited for the light.
I wish you all the best.
Not same but my Cocoa loved very thin strips of her food when her mouth was bad especially beetroot which I know was :whistle: not a piggie diet but I did anything to get food into her system.
Well done and hope it's a start to her gettin very fat. xx

Thank you David. I really appreciate your kind words. I might try some beetroot with Coco too, as for now, I just want to get her eating. I was so surprised at how well she managed the grass, once she had got it into the right place in her mouth.
