It looks like he has been pulling some stitching out?

Please try to prevent him as possible from pulling it our any further (Can you try cutting for small arm/leg holes in an old sock of yours that sits fairly tight? See a vet as soon as you can.
 
Well done @kiera. Please take him to the vets tomorrow. He will be fine til then but has been naughty nibbling his stitches.
 
Like I said numerous times before that he was biting because of the pain from the stitches, and now he's removed the stitches...

That is exactly what my friends pig did. He needed antibiotics for the infection and in a few days he was feeling better.

Please take him to see a better vet. The longer an infection is left, the harder it is to cure.

There shut ive givin his medician till tomorrow
 
should i give jack bayril or metacam till i get to an vet tomorrow cause his stitches are kinda coming out
 
If he seems to be in pain them Metacam should help.
Baytril is an antibiotic and you should not give him that unless you are planning on doing a full course, which he only needs if he has a suspected infection.

The best course of action would be to prevent him nibbling at his stitches if possible, and get hm to a vet as soon as possible tomorrow.
 
if these are from a recent prescription and you have been given instructions to give them to Jack then yes you need to be doing it
 
Do you have an emergency out of hours vet local? Most veterinary hospitals will be 24/7 and offer emergency out of hours services. Normally, your vet will have an emergency contact number on their website.
 
Or if you call your vet they will have the number for the emergency vet on the asnwering machine.
 
aww @kiera i am so sorry to hear Jack has passed... poor little thing and hugs to you x
