Saw the vet today and she says Squeaks does have an abcess. She doesn't want to lance it because itis more prone to reinfection and feel that it is encapsulated so she wants to remove the entire thing surgically. We have had this poor little guy only 3 weeks. I just feel so bad for him. I am also a wreck about it. She doesn't want to do his neutring at teh same time because that will be a lot to recover from and she wants him healthy before that surgery.

Please send some piggy prayers his way
 
I will deffinitly be praying for you and your baby.
 
ChristieB, I'm sorry to hear about the condition of your pig. My prayers are with you.
One of our mods accidentally merged your thread with another pig with abscess thinking it was the same pig. I've moved your thread back on it's own. Very sorry about this!
 
Awww best of luck to you and Squeaks. Hopefully everything goes well!
 
Squeaks did great. My poor little girl is so upset with how he looks (because they had to shave his neck and you can see where the surgery was) but the scar looks great and while he is tired and looked a little ratted, he is eating well and has made his little purr noises to his cage mate (there is a divider between them). We had to put plexiglass up between them too because Smores was so sad when he was gone and when he got back she started trying to eat teh bars or put her head through trying to get to him. Hoping he has an easy time tonight.
 
I'm glad to hear he did well and I hope that his night goes smoothly. Keep us updated. Hugs and cuddles and veggies to the little guy.
 
Wonderful news!
 
So glad to here squeaks is doing great!
 
i'm so, so happy he is doing well! i think it's adorable his cagemate missed him so much.
