Please can you send lots of healing thoughts for Earl! In addition to his dental issues, he’s got neurological problems too. However, with medication he’s generally remained fairly stable. However, this afternoon he suffered a major seizure, that initially left him with severe body weakness. He’s improved in the last hour and he’s currently in a hospital cage, in my spare room, so I can monitor him closely. As you can see from the video, he’s still got leg weakness, but he is able to move around again. He’s currently separated from his buddy, Hugo, but hopefully they can go back together tomorrow.


 
Aw poor little Earl, I hope he improves very soon Debbie, so sorry such a worry for you x
 
What a lovely boy! Healing wheeks and vibes being sent. I just love a piggy with a crown!:love:
 
Lorry loads of healing thoughts and vibes coming your way Earl! Come on beautiful boy! x
 
Sending healing vibes your way. Come on Earl, Hugo is waiting for you. 😍
 
Oh Earl, stay well little guy. I hope he's back to his normal soon. I didn't realise there were medications they could have for neurological issues.
Sending ❤ to you both.
 
Hugs to you both. He’s in the best hands

He’s on Gabapentin. It really helps with his neurological issues. I’m going to speak with Simon about increasing the dose. His previous owner said he’d always been a bit wonky and had always stumbled. He came to us because of his dental issues. His teeth aren’t too bad, but as he has facial nerve paralysis, it causes food to get trapped in his mouth. He suffers with cheilitis too and has only recently finished a course of itrafungol.

Ah that makes sense, good to know in case Silver ever needs it.
Sounds like poor Earl has had quite a time of it, glad he's in the best place possible!

He’s very special. I know you shouldn’t have favourites, but he’s so wonky and looks so vulnerable, that I just want to protect him and make everything okay for him! 💙
 
Hope gorgeous Earl is feeling much better today bless him, what a lovely boy ❤️ Keep munching that tasty grub Earl! And what a good piggy bodyguard you are beautiful Priya! Sending lots of healing vibes and hope he can get back with Hugo very soon too (if he’s not already!) xx
