Please read this to see if your piggy has had these symptoms and you can help decipher what is wrong! Thankyou
Bud is 10 mth old and overnight last week became ill.
He is: Lethargic, too much trouble to hold his head up or can't hold head up properly. Depressed sort of
hardly eating, even his favourite veggies, or drinking
lost weight
his eyes are sunken and he looks out of just slits. Also a bit crusty in corners
cannot walk properly seems to drag his back right leg, doesn't stand on his toes but rather they bend under, (although this changes)
I rushed him to the vets immediately and they kept him in for two days on a drip because he was dehydrated. the vet gave him tablets for pain relief and fungal medicine in case of infection. The xray ruled out broken leg, back injury or bladder stones, or obstruction of any kind.
He has been on these tablets and medicine since last Tuesday and is no better.
The vet has kept him in again and is now treating him with different antibiotics.
The vet doesn't know what is wrong. She said he now has lesions in his mouth but his teeth are fine. The fungal medicine should have conquered this!
Thankyou for reading and please reply if you can help at all.
