Wow he looks like a different piggy. He looks very fetching in his purple jacket.
 
Such a pitiful story, and such a wonderful tale of survival. The jacket is jaunty! (I'm assuming the jackets are not for ornamentation and that they are to protect the weak area on the skin of his back. )

Guido still scratches to the point of damaging himself, he has an area on his back that will trigger a seizure if he manages to get to it so the jacket stays on unless he is under close supervision - at the moment he is having his morning break in a cuddle cup beside me while I do all my internet bits and pieces.

He will scratch so badly that he tears his skin open so not only does the jacket prevent a seizure it also protects his delicate skin. The level of suffering he endured prior to rescue has left a legacy that needs careful management, but now that his jacket protects him he is living perfectly normally and is a very happy little man, and rather spoilt.

I have such sad news this morning.

Guido has been on frusemide for congested lungs as his internal organs were quite severely damaged from the months of systemic fungal infection prior to being rescued, also the meds for such an infection are damaging in themselves.

Sadly the legacy of his neglect proved too much and he passed away last night. He will be very much missed, both by me and by Luigi his cagemate as they were so very happy with each other. He had an extra 8 months of being spoilt rotten and I'm very grateful for the time he was part of my life.
