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 😍
 
Hopefully those meds will kick in quickly and Sir George will be back to his mischievous self 🥰
 
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.

Bless him, Sir George came and took both meds through the bars. He's such a sweetheart and makes everything easy.
If he needs support feeding this time (hasn't before) I think he might even eat it from a bowl.

Your little heart piggy ❤️🐾
 
He has had poop soup courtesy of Master Boris. He's finished the course now, his stomach has settled, he's back to his normal self and DEFINITELY has not lost weight (again)20241106_113801.webp
The vet asked about his diet, even which pellets I use and suggested that the bonding session might have stressed him and brought on the UTI. I'm waiting for an email from piggies parcels to let me know that a product is back in stock then the boys will be getting the new pellets with glucosamine.
 
Sir George is definitely fully recovered judging by the amount of popcorn I've witnessed over the past couple of days.
Something I hadn't noticed until hubby mentioned it. When Master Boris hears something interesting and starts begging, wheeking and bar chewing, Sir George just watches. If he sees any food forthcoming he then ambles over for his share. It's economy of motion..........
Unless he smells basil, then he's a wheeking machine.....I'm pretty sure that's his favourite.
 
Honestly.... M.M.Boris is SUCH a piddle pants. We've given up on hay cubes for him as they go mouldy from all the wee. He is now the proud and delighted owner of his first carrot cottage, With a pee pad underneath. This has to be changed daily as well as the ones under his cuddle cup, hammock, bed and posing platform. He needs a fresh cushion in his bed and cuddle cup daily and they still need to be changed every other day along with his hammock. I have so much extra stuff just for him and I reckon he creates a minimum of three times the amount of laundry as D.S.George.
