Digby Has A Lump :(

Haha thanks Kath. I don't think Digby has a secret, he just isn't bothered by anything lol!
 
Just caught up with this thread. Sorry you’ve had such an anxious dat but glad Digby’s lump isn’t anything to worry about.
I’m not surprised by all the attention- he is such a lovely piggy
 
I'm worried about the surgery and hoping the lump won't get worse before then. It needs to be removed though, so it's for the best.

Totally natural mate, and is the worst part of having pigs when they are poorly and need operations :( Just get yourself prepared for him coming home with syringe feed etc.... We always ask the vet for gut stims so you can keep his tummy moving after his operation. And always make sure the vet has gave you pain relief for at home too. Digby has a great mom to look after him x
 
I have everything prepared in my head, thanks Lee :hug:. I've checked my medical kit to make sure I have plenty of syringes and I am sure my vet will give me pain relief without asking. I will definitely ask the vet about Emeprid as well. I have a plan in my head for sectioning off some space for him to recover next to his ladies too. I just hope it doesn't get bigger so that the op stays small.s
 
I know there are still anxious times ahead with him undergoing surgery, but it’s reassuring that the vet believes it’s a benign lump. Let’s hope it stays small and trouble free.
 
If it helps, my Cissy recently had a mammary tumour removed which was enormous. She sailed through it and barely even noticed anything was going on! I'm sure Digby will take it in his stride :)
 
Hello Ruth and Digs.
I've just seen this guys. Oh Ruth these piggies keep us on the go. Well spotted and well done human slave for gettin him seen too so quick. So it's opp for the little chap next week. He be a very brave boy and you lass have too also. x
 
Glad it's not serious, I'm sure he'll be fine. I never realised how big he is till I saw the pic of him in his carrier! What does he weigh?
 
Glad to hear Digby is okay! Tell him he did a fab job today, and Marla and Charlette are proud of him! :nod:
Can't blame the staff, I'm such a fan of the sweet guy, and I've only see photos!
What a scare. Here is a hug for you poor Ruth. :hug:Glad you can have a good piece of mind again. x
 
He is a lump lol!

His lump is still the same today, fingers crossed it all stays that way until he has it removed.
