Re: i-love-nev's piggys update thread!

Right well this has been an interesting day!

In the morning I decided to get the pigs out and put them out for free range whilst I cleaned the cage, I picked them all out and picked Darwin up and he had a lump under his chin (we havnt had the results from the test back that was taken how many days ago!) and it had a bit of crust skin on the end so I passed him to my mum and asked her to put a warm compress on it (on vets orders) and clean it to see if it was an abcess well just as I passed it to her it popped. Leaving my mum covered in all the puss that came out of it haha. Anyways we got him cleaned up, just keeping him clean and cleaning his neck every few hours now with some steri-wash, gonna take him to the vet tonight as it is shut right now and we dont have any other good vets around here so I am just hoping he is A-OK I am expecting an expensive vet bill but the good news is that the abcess really wasnt big so it left a tiny..well what would ya call it, hole? in his neck and it is pretty clean so I am thinking either 2-3 stiches or a shunt for the next 4 days. He is in a small cage at the moment (about the size of a 1.5x1.5 grid cage) relaxing in the lounge by the sofa. The rest of the gang are great but they are wondering where Dar is I think hehe.
