All the best to my special friend Boris, as always! You are doing a sterling job, and Boris is still hanging in there!

I would try to top his food up with CC - the more body mass he has, and can keep, the better his chances to get through this. Give as much as he'll accept.

Still thinking of him -and you - and sending my love!

Wiebke xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I haven't followed Boris' progress from the start, but he certainly looks like he's really been through the mill. You sound like you're doing your very best, and that's all that you can do, so I wish you and Boris the best of luck, and hope he gets his health back soon! He seems like a real fighter (you both do!) and it's wonderful that you have a vet who seems to know what he's doing. I'll be thinking of you both. x
 
Boris had another fit before,it was longer and more severe than the last ones,I'm about to bathe him and do his treatment routine,i rang the vet and they think he has a few days left:(.will keep hoping for some good though i will never give up on him while he is still willing to try xxxxx
 
Oh Bonnie 8...8...8...8...
Keep up the food and fluids and keep him warm and whisper in his ear how much you love him, cuddle him heaps too xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


if you need i'll be there x
 
I'm here for you too... even if i am on the other side of the world.. you have given me such support lately.. sending the biggest cuddles and kisses, good luck and best wishes from me and my clan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
hoping boris keeps fighting x
 
Oh Bonnie! Just caught up! 8...8...

Thinking of you and your little man! *sending hugs*
 
ok he is still alive phew:....another 3 seizures in the time we gave him his meds
this is the best we could get into him as we tried repeatedly i hope its enough
Complete amount of betadine
all of the nurofen
half the recommended dose of Coloidal silver
1/2 the dose of vit C
1/4 CC
all bepanthen

i couldnt try any harder it just so much for him to take x
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Boris fitting Bonnie. Do you know why this is happening? I do hope he picks up. I've never seen a pig fit before but have heard so many cases of it. (((hugs))) x

Thanks all,He is in safely in bed now eating his veges,Louise the seizures are caused by his fungal infection being bad,unfortunantly Piggys cannot handle skin conditions the same as other animals:(,the vet said to expect alot more in the next few days xxxxthanks for the support xxxxx
 
Ah right, well glad he is settled. Hopefully they will settle down poor little man. x
 
i need to work out how to reduce the amount of things i have to syringe feed,some of them are 3 times a day and others 2 so its alot to expect of him, i have decided to put the coloidal silver on his corn and he happily ate all the corn as it tastes similar to water,but the after the CC he didnt want to take the nurofen,Vit C,probitoics
can i get away with just doing one of the below
Vit C
CC
Probiotics

and if so which one? and if i can't can i combine them so its quicker and easier to give?
 
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I'm so sorry to hear how poorly Boris has been :( I'm sending all my love and hugs to you both xxxxx
P.S. I love your new user name. It is very true, Boris is like a king to everyone one here, by the sounds of things he is one worshipped piggy with a huge amount of people on here who love the little guy xxxxxxxxx
 
Ok Bonnie, you can mix the Vit C and probiotics in with the CC. The CC has that in anyway. Just give him as much as he will take, obviously don't force him too much as he is eating on his own and you don't want to push him at this stage.

Does he have any hair left on the infected parts of his body?
 
I'm so sorry to hear King Boris is more poorly. As Laura says, you could combine the 3 no problems. It's horrible having to syringe a piggy who is fighting it, you feel so mean!

After all he's been through I really hope he is able to fight back, poor love. You're doing a fantastic job.

yes he does have some hair left on the affected parts xxxxx
i will combine them like you said and i won't force him to much x
 
Bonnie, I'm so sorry to hear he's not doing well. I hope he can get better...

That's great news, Bonnie! I've been worried about you and the little fella all day!


Keep fighting, Boris! But not fighting your Mommy, of course! :)) :p
