Thanks for all the lovely replies. She only has a tiny pea sized scab left of the massive one on her back now. Already she has hair coming through on her back.
I've not done much really apart from Ivomec. Bath. Dry clean cage. Food & a bit of cream to stop her skin being sore. She's a real little fighter. :smitten:
 
Well done Hils for taking them on they are in the the best place now :) I could not believe it when I saw the photo on your phone when you picked up a few cages from mine for them. Speak soon Michelle
 
Poor little love, what a state she was in. Well done you for taking them on, I'm sure you'll have them all fit and well in no time.
 
oh my god what an awful state they were in :'(
 
Good news she is feeling better. Very big well done to all of you, great teamwork O0
We would love an update Hills, on her progress and maybe some more pics. Do hope the poor love isnt pregnant.
 
Poor, poor piggie - but she's had a stroke of luck in finding you! Well done to all concerned and I hope they all go on ok. Will you be rehoming them or keeping them?
 
thats really sad, i cant believe people let animals live like this

thank god they are with you, all the best with making them happy and healthy :)
 
Ok as requested an update!

Have taken some pics which I'll upload a bit later. Hair is starting to grow back in some areas which is really encouraging. She is really coming out of her shell - becoming quite vocal - not shouting for food yet but chunters away to herself. A couple of nights ago I was watching TV with her on my chest she had been there for quite a while when she started licking me all over my face :smitten: I took it as a thankyou kiss. She has barbered me too ::) didn't realise what she was doing at first but has taken quite a liking to my hair! She was doing this to Carter when they were still in a box together.
Other than that she is ony showing 1 odd behaviour trait which is digging. Most of her cage is fleece becasue of her bare tummy - but now & then she goes into a digging frenzy & makes almost frantic/panicy noises. She has a box in her cage to hide in & a hay rack etc but I'm wondering if she's looking for the litter she apparantly lost...?

Other than that she's fab & there are only a few tiny scabs left to fall off.

I think she will be called Porter after Gail Porter who is gorgeous & has a fab personality - but lost her hair through stress.

Hx

oh forgot to say - depending on how she recovers & if she is pregnant will dictate whether she stays. If she takes a very long time to get better she will stay, but if the recovery is short & her hair grows back quick & she isn't pregnant then I'll look into finding a special indoor home for her. So not sure what will happen to her as yet!
 
Re: 'another' sad & disgusted. new pics

The pink area of skin where my finger is was totally covered in scab.

Bless her :smitten: She's looking soo much better, amazing what a bit of TLC can achieve, well done Hils O0
 
She is looking soooooo much better! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: Well done hills and co!! :D

Its so sad they are allowed to get into that state :( Did you manage to find the house? :tickedoff:
 
Wow what a difference - it's amazing what a few days of proper care and tlc can do.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the pics.
 
great progress gotta love that last piccy! :smitten:
 
:smitten: :smitten: What an amazing difference, well done to everyone involved O0
 
Only just seen this. I would put my standard comment for who is responsible for a story like this but then poor Kate has to come and edit me ;D

What a gorgeous little love, and what super progress. Well done.
 
Update, she's got a fine velvet shimmer of hair growing back :smitten: BUT I think she is pregnant. I have felt some small lumps inside her which others 'in the know' have also confirmed. Its very easy to feel her because she's still got very little hair on her tummy. I am just hoping that we don't have another repeat of 'Lilac Girl' who was back to back bred then died due to Toxemia along with her 2 babies. So I'm doing my best to boost the immune system & get her 'working' as well as as I can in order to prevent this. So I will be on critical alert ready for the beginning of September which is when I think she could be due. She was 'meant' to have lost a litter very near to the time that I picked her up. So she would have only just caught pregnant when I got her. But I still can't trust anything that has been said by the people in question.
Will post pictures of her when I can gear myself up to get them onto the pc.
 
A daily raspberry leaf tea tablet crushed up in water and syringed to her, mixed with a tiny bit of oesteocare liquid will perk her up even more and keep her healthy for this pregnancy.
I have some raspberry leaf tablets if you would like them.
 
awww! you are doing SUCH A GREAT JOB!! well done hun she is looking soo much happier and healthier. keep up the very good work! (love from piggies and me) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :-*
 
The poor things! :( :( But at least they are gonna be safe, well and happy with you now! :)
