Thomas is unwell.He has bloat,and lymphoma

I am so sorry to read this 😭 its heart-wrenching to watch a much loved piggy go through any illness. My thoughts are with you and hope so much that things can change for the better for Thomas and you. Healing vibes sent by the lorry load xx
 
I’m so sorry Eileen, I how you get more time with Thomas, hoping the makes a full recovery x
 
Thomas is a beauty and he’s in the best hands with you. I hope that he has more happy days with you & his wives.
 
Oh Eileen, breaks my heart to see this. I hope Thomas can give you some more comfortable days
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Thomas. I hope he starts feeling better from his bloat soon and eats his syringe food like a good boy. Look after yourself too, looking after a sick piggy is so exhausting.
 
I really hope Thomas perks up soon. Sending healing vibes and a hug for you 🤗
 
I'm so sorry about Thomas, I hope he rallies around and has some more comfortable time with you
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope he can pull through x

Louise managed to get through with Recovery food and regular emeprid at 1 mg per kg of pig (so 1.36ml of 1mg/ml solution each time as she's 1.36kg). She objected to the first 0.5ml of Recovery each time but then seemed to suddenly change her mind and ate about 6 or 7ml per go. I don't know whether that was the effect of the emeprid (which she had first) or if she was initially just a bit disgusted with what was happening. She also had twice daily metacam (4 units each time). It took her a few days to go down completely although I never heard any gas passing. But Louise doesn't have any underlying conditions as far as I know.

I don't know that my electric toothbrush massage technique was up to much but she liked a not-very-hot water bottle on my lap with a folded fleece on top... she sprawled flat on it and let me toothbrush her sides and tummy beneath the fleece. I was surprised as she's normally not a cuddly girl and hates brushing or hair trimming so I thought I'd have a fight, but either it was soothing or she just couldn't be bothered to argue.
 
So sorry that Thomas is sick. Hope he still has some happy piggy days left with you.❤️

Thinking of you and sending big hugs. :hug:
 
Sorry Eileen, totally missed your thread, sending big hugs and really hope you’re ok. Sending lots of love and healing vibes to Thomas xx
