Thankfully my girl hasn't bled again since taking her to the vet. She's energetic and affectionate today.

I'll try attaching the images again here.

ItsaZoo, I didn't see any...

Thank you for your responses everyone. I have a hopeful update and a frightening one.

I realized I hadn't updated from the last thread -- she's actually on Bactrim right now and for the next week,...

They kept her an extra day because her internal temperature went down overnight, and that was even before the first dose of antibiotics. I had the option of bringing her home, but the vet and I...

I had an existing thread in late July but when I tried to update it, I got an error saying the thread was too old. Here is the link:...

I think I just saw my boar do a normal bodily function, but I want to double check and make sure it’s nothing to be worried about. As a warning, this involves boar privates!

One of my boars, about...

My girl finished her 10-day course of antibiotics! She's mostly back to herself now that she's off of it. She's also not drinking as heavily as she was before I noticed the bladder infection, I've...

Thank you both for your feedback. I've decided to go ahead with separating Marshmallow from Fuzz and Smores. I've been keeping a closer eye on them, and Marshmallow isn't letting up on bullying poor...

I have four boys: Fuzz, a four-year-old, Graham, Marshmallow, and Smores, a trio of one year old brothers. I needed to put Graham in his own cage over half a year ago because I caught him rolling...

Hi everyone,

My girl is not 100% yet -- even though it has only been a week since we switched antibiotics, I'm still very anxious about her, even if she does seem to be in decent shape. She has...

Also, some side notes:

1. Her weight has been steady. In fact, she actually gained some weight in the past week. When I brought her in to her regular vet, she was about 920g, and now she's...

Thank you for your well wishes, everyone! Update: My piggie is home! She is on two different antibiotics: bactrim, which she has had a course of nearly a year ago and had no significant side effects...

Some bad news: The vet wasn't able to get back to me on her antibiotics dosage. I skipped her dosage yesterday morning while I waited because her stomach seemed upset. She wasn't eating as much...

Thank you for the quick response bpatters. Unfortunately it didn't really hit me how high the dosage is until I was about to give her another dose just now. I'm going to be cautious and lower her...

Thank you for your responses!

I had her taken to the vet to be safe. They did an x-ray and didn't see even any bladder sludge, and when they pressed her belly to check her bladder they couldn't...

I’m planning to get my girl to the vet; I left them a voicemail and will call again when the office opens. I’m making thisnpost because after a few searches I’m worried that behavior before the blood...

Here is a picture of her just this Wednesday. She was so tiny I had to get her a water bowl to drink from, because even the small bottles were a bit too big for her mouth. (Apologies if the...

It’s been a few months, I just wanted to share a final update.

My runty girl just passed today. She always struggled with gaining weight, although she’s always been eating and drinking and...

Thank you, that’s a relief. I also saw one of the boys rumblestrut and hump one of his brothers. Mum stood with her rear aimed oddly, so I think she was presenting herself? I picked her up and she...

The little runt is in good spirits and has kept growing! As it turns out, the runt is a she and has three older brothers! She’s very sweet but noticably smaller than her siblings — still about 50 g...

Good news: he has continued gaining weight and is gaining more interest in solid foods! It looks like he drops longer strands of hay and bigger pellets, so I put down the leafier bits of alfalfa and...

My foster pig delivered four babies on her own on the thirteenth. I found her while he was eating her last placenta, and all the babies were safe and already toddling around.

A few days later, all...
