The Beastie Boys

His lordship has metacam and co-trimoxazole for a week. If he's still got symptoms after, they want him booked in for more tests. He got a top to toe check up and was (as usual) an extremely good boy. He's not enamoured with the co-trimoxazole but this might change. There was a student there, the vet explained that Sir George was unusually cooperative 😍
 
His lordship took the co-trimoxazole like a champ this morning, it smells like aniseed and he likes fennel. I think yesterday he wasn't settled enough from the vet visit when I gave it to him. Obviously the metatacam was well received, as was the post med green bean. I've only heard him squealing in pain once since yesterday and that was just before the metacam dose.
Of course Master Boris had to have his medication (water) too....
He gets such syringe envy.....🙄
 
I am a bit wary of bum washes in case there is a risk of bacteria being washed into the urethra by accident. I do swab coconut oil and warm water onto Polo's grease gland though when it gets stuck with hard grease. His boar pouch gets cleaned out with a damp Q tip when there are prickly pieces of wood shavings stuck in it, but I try to avoid getting poop and glue near the urethra. Hopefully my piggies won't get rods and blobs. It's a worry as piggies can be prone to these infections. I hope your little sweetie gets better soon, he is such a gorgeous fellow! (So is MM Boris of course 🥬🥬🥰)
 
I nearly forgot to mention, the vet suggested getting Master Boris to the plum fairy! She believes that it takes time but eventually gets the testosterone levels down. He was given a clean bill of health with no subtle signs of satin syndrome. He was the first satin the student vet had seen, when he stroked him he said WOW because he's so soft.
 
That's interesting. It's so clear cut with dogs, cats and rabbits. The vet I saw seemed very confident about the op. I worry about anaesthetic and infection. But if it allows boars to live with other piggies, it makes sense. If there was a clear health advantage, it would be easier to decide. My vet said that they access the testicle via the abdomen to reduce the risk of infection as the wound site is off the ground. There might be other reasons for this too.
