Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

After a long week in southern California Sebastian seems to be doing great. His eye has cleared up and today is his last day of antibiotics.

I think he liked to car ride because he was in my moms lap the whole time.

Yes, except I'm the sick one now and I have to be very careful with all the piggies. I got to work tomorrow and my mom is watching them and she is sick too.

Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

Well Sebastian was back at the vet today. He's now been prescribed Vibramycin. Hopefully it works. Obviously he'll be on a probiotic as well.

I'll be giving 1.2cc twice a day, so wish me luck as that's a lot of meds to push into this fiesty little booger.

Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

Lucky hates taking meds too. She likes the syringe if there's water in it but hates the taste of meds.

Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

You've got one hard headed pig. Maybe all that hair around is head is preventing him from considering that meds are good.

Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

Some of my pigs are difficult with syringes, but others LOVE them (even filled with bad-tasting meds). I don't even have to take the ones who love syringes out of the cage. I call the one pig over, show her the syringe, and she runs up and puts it in the right spot in her mouth, and I slowly inject the medication. It's crazy, they think it's like a special treat. So I can't REALLY empathize with what you are going through... but good luck with that beautiful boy!

Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

So my sweet little Sebastian has been doing pretty well with taking his antibiotics.

I'm working and my mom is watching Sebastian and she is giving him his medication.

In a text message I asked her how it's all going and this was her response, "He was a terror, I have to change my technique."

So I guess he's starting to officially feel better. I'll know tomorrow morning when I get home.

Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

hope that he gets better and stays well! and lol he sounds like a fiesty one. Mine aren't too horrible with giving meds. They don't want to give the syringe back. It must be their way of saying 'if I don't give it back she won't give me that yucky stuff again'.

Re: Sebastian is going to the Vet today.

Sebastian was acting like he was feeling better. Today is his 13th day on the antibiotics and he's still got a crusty eye and discharge from his nose.

He will be seeing the vet again. I have no idea what the vet is going to do or what the heck is wrong.

This is all beginning to get very frustrating.
