I'm fighting so hard to keep it together right now, had nothing to eat or drink an neither has Frank for nearly two hours - but you know people are inconsiderate and only care about having a fag and flipping cup of tea. So jarred, and trying not to just sob.
So after months of vet appointments. The recent being the hopping and leg pain, over this week he has lost over 100g of weight. And although with keeping up vitC, still hasn't improved.
So it has been deduced that my young, perfect and precious boy has arthritis. He now has recovery food for a week and a 0.5 dose of metacam (which despite what the nurse said I will be splitting into two doses with advice from Helen), everyday long term.
Also suddenly dawned on me, he probably won't be around long :'( I dunno. (I will keep it together!)
I love my boy so much.
Him and Bert also need to be permanently separated so looks like I have building to do when I get home... And going to have to make the decision to either rehome Bert, have two lone pigs, or bond Bert and have 3 - but I'm not sure I can afford that. Also not sure Frank really needs a 2x4 to himself although he's always had that.
I'm just at a complete loss, and I know who is to blame and trust me I hate them for it.
