You probably all know that one of my boys has a problem with mites at the minute. I'm confused and annoyed that it had been going on for much longer than I thought. I was giving myself mental bat on the backs for taking good care of my piggies when I must have missed something.
I got my little lad at 6 weeks for my lone boar who was around 3 months old. Straight away little Puddles just didn't take to me, very skittish and would run like a whippet if iven the chance.
I put this move to my house at such a yound age for the cause of why Puddles has a problem with mites. he had a lot of change to get used to when being so very young.
I found his bald patch 3 weeks ago and made an appointment for the very next day. The day before I had just bathed and i'm sure I would have noticed that patch then if it were there. That weekend I had noticed that he wasn't eating much and was beginning to keep an eye on hime anyway.
My vet mentioned old healing sores this morning which makes me feel absolutely sh!t. That mean that my poor lad has been struggling with those burrowing mites for a lot longer thant I originally thought. I thought it was early stage mites when I found that patch but obviously not.
I'm feeling terrible and to blame for his suffering. He's only a baby. I know in my heart of hearts I acted as soon as I knew but that was not soon enough.
Any, any comments would be great. In the future are they any signs I could look out for. All his signs came at once. it feels like he was trying to hide his symtoms then when it got too much for him 'gave up' and let it all out. I feel bloody useless!
