Hello. Frb, my 3.5 year old boar, began to be lethargic and not eating on Thursday evening. Friday morning he ate soft pellets by syringe and accepted water from bottle when offered. Regular vet was overbooked, but another vet took him in between appointments. Frb was sedated and vet said his molars are too long and need trimming, but didn't have time to do it then. I've made the earliest appointment possible for Monday to get his dental, but this evening he's gotten worse.
I've been managing all this while out of town helping sick family, and my husband was caring for the pigs. We just got back from the airport and its been 2.5 hours since Frb left the vet. He had bloody bedding stuck to his rear end, and just peed and its bloody too.
I'm giving him water and critical care which he is taking ok. The other thing is when I pet him my hands come away covered with dandruff and skin flakes. Not sure if connected or a fluke.
Please help. I've had piggies with teeth issues but never blood coming from their bottom.
