Hey all!
As I was doing my full cage cleanings this morning I noticed Wrigley limping. I picked him up right away and saw that his front leg and paw was swollen.
He also has a few nips on his nose area so I am guessing this leg injury was because he was running away from a fight with his cage mate Badger.
Right now Wrigley is in a 1x2 cage to limit his movement and is on Metacam for the pain. My vet is awesome and always gives me the big bottle since I have so many pigs.
I was going to take him to the vet asap but then checked my bank account. It says otherwise, btw. We have had several things come up this month and it has been rough. Every time any of the animals have to go to the vet, we always do so and we pull through. We have had a vet fund in the past but right now it has been all sucked up.
If he gets worse by tomorrow it's out to the vet tomorrow for sure. I would prefer to wait for Monday when my vet will be in but if his leg gets worse I will have to take him in to the ER clinic.
Any thoughts would be amazing as I am feeling horrible right now. I just want one solid week of healthy, happy animals.
