Is Pig ill? :.l

How is pig doing?

Overall not really great, but okay.

He still eats very willingly and as far as I can tell, he's soaking himself at night. His inflamation on his skin is alot better, but his right legs is still attacked by it, although in concentrated lumps and not growing in size. And his right hand is also still swollen, but isn't growing. Butt and theighs look alot better - not so reddish anymore, only a bit of yellowish infection on them. So... whatever he's got left is going on inside his body, right leg and hand.

But I'm very happy he's eating and not being lethargic at all. I found out a few weeks ago, that the species normally lives in greater numbers so I feel a bit sad he's all alone, but I don't want to buy him friends, since they will for sure get infected. Kind of a bummer :/

So so far he's still here - although maybe a bit bored And my two other boys are showing no signs at all of being infected via me.

Hi guys Just wanted to give you a little update on Pig.

Here's some pics from yesterday:



As you can see he's still alive 'n' kickin' LOL He's active, alert, not lethargic, eats well, although still somewhat constantly constipated and still refuses to take on earthworms, no matter how they're presented So he takes around 2-2½ weeks to poop, so far.

The treatment has very visibly killed the redness in his groin completely, which is awesome! And the swelling in his right hand has actually gone down. So I'm very exited to see what it will do to fight off the general infection
going around in his body.

Pt. I'm in the middle of my Basic exam as a "Signs wright" and am very busy. Will update now and then.

Hey guys.

'Just wanted to make a quick update to close this thread. Pig's gone downhill fast and is doing very poorly :./ I've scheduled an appointment at the vet's for monday, where he will be sedated and euthanized with liqued through the heart, so he won't feel anything. Until then I try to make him as comfortable as possible.

Thanks for following and for the support and good advise you guys have offered.
