Hi , so I’m not to sure weather I’m being paranoid or not but my 3 year old boar has been not himself recently. For example he hasn’t eaten in over 3 days or drunk any water , his eyes are partially open and every watery like he is squinting he also also never really on his feet anymore and dosnt get up. Typically when I come over he gets up and comes over to me but now he is juts lying there . I have googled his symptoms and they all say different things and I was wondering if maybe has to go to the vets or he is just okay and getting old. Thank you : )
 
Please have him seen by a vet as an emergency.
Three years is not old at all, and he sounds very ill.
Hopefully if he is seen quickly the vet can prescribe some treatment that will help.
 
I would have him to the vets ASAP especially if he isn’t eating.
Please weigh him daily and if he is losing weight, you will need to step in with syringe feeding him.
But only a vet can diagnose and provide the correct treatment

You must take your piggy to a vet and immediately step in with urgent syringe feeding. If he hasn’t eaten in three days then he is at risk of stasis And needs urgent help

3 years is not old.

please get him to a vet straight away as an emergency. All uk vets provide 24 hour cover so he can be seen straight away

Thankyou for your help we are going to phone the vets to see if we can come in ASAP
 
ensure that while he is poorly that you weigh him daily (at the same time each day) so you can adjust the amount of syringe feeding. As he isn’t eating anything then he is going to need to be syringed around the clock, but dealing with the high potential for stasis is urgent - he will most likely need medication From the vet As well as syringe feeding

once he is better, you can go back to weighing him weekly.
 
I hope you were able to get him seen by the vet. How is he doing?
