New Born Pup
I've made an account out of desperation as I really need help with my piggy
His name is Gunnie he is about 2.5 years old. He has been eating less and less and has been making noises like he is in pain when he pees.
He has been weight for the past 3 nights, all between 10 pm - 12am:
19/02 1056g
20/02 1000g
21/02 978g
(78g/2.75oz total lost in 48 hours)
He went to the vet on Wednesday (not sure of exact day but somewhere this week) and was given pain killers and antibiotics. I'm not sure of my specifics as he currently lives with my sisters in Norwich as I am in Leicester for university.
He has an appointment for 5:30 pm tomorrow.
Following his weight change tonight I told my sister to call the vet as I'd consider it an emergency that he has lost almost 3oz in the span of 48 hours. They said there was nothing they could do until his appointment and they would try their best to find out what is wrong with him.7
I am so scared he won't make it through the night please tell me what we can do to make sure he's okay.
Will syringe feeding help? If so will crushed up pellets with water be okay? There's not much to get at this hour.
He has unlimited hay and has a separate area for himself to make sure bullying doesn't prevent him from eating.
Please help
TL,DR: 2.5 year male piggy lost almost 3oz in 48 hours. Vet appointment late in the day tomorrow but very scared he will not make it through the night. Please tell me what I can do to help him
