Poor Edgar 
We woke up this morning to find very bloody bedding in our pigs’ litter tray.
We got Edgar onto a puppy pad to check him first, he peed and...wow it was terrifying. Picture attached. He’s had no behaviour changes, and is eating and drinking fine.
We managed to find a vet open today and hightailed it there. We had to wait in the waiting room while Edgar was seen, and the only update we had was this horrible loud wail from him about halfway through the consultation.
The vet thinks he has cystitis, we were worried about stones but the vet had a good old feel of his bladder and says he can’t feel anything stone like
We took the puppy pad along and a urine sample (although I think it was a bit too old by the time we got to the appointment).
The vet gave him an injection of an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory which is what the wail was he is a massive fusspot but I’ve never heard him make a noise like that.
We’ve been given a 10 day course of baytril, 0.5ml, twice a day.
Our other pig Prawn (the submissive) clearly knew something was wrong last night, he was being much more humpy and dominant than normal
poor Edgar, peeing blood AND has his naughty brother humping him.
Is there anything we can do to support Edgar’s recovery alongside the antibiotics? The vet recommended lots of watery veg and we will be weighing him daily.
