New Born Pup
Hi,
I’m really desperate for help. I noticed my boar Milo wasn’t himself just less than a week ago. He wasn’t eating much, wasn’t moving around, had a weepy eye and crusts around his eye, was really lethargic and not himself. I took him to the vet and they said it was an infection and he was prescribed baytril and metacam for pain 4 days ago. (He’s had no previous health issues). However he continued to not eat. His eyes are back to normal, he’s moving around a lot now and he’s much more alert but he refuses to drink anything and only eats a few vegetables and some hay.
I had to pick up some recovery plus on New Year’s Day at an emergency vet for him. It’s so hard to get him to syringe feed as he wriggles around. But he’s had a fair amount of it.
I took him to a different vet today who checked him over (teeth and everything) and found nothing wrong except obvious dehydration (I’ve been syringe feeding him water but obviously that wasn’t enough). He gave him fluid under the skin which cost me £50 and said he should get better soon and to stop his metacam completely and stop his baytril until Monday.
He still isn’t eating and I’m so worried about him. I’m only 18, my family aren’t very well off especially this time of year so I’m having to spend my own money to treat him which isn’t a problem but It’s costed me £165 so far and I can’t afford to keep taking him for consultations when nothing is making him eat. I will ring the vet again tomorrow and tell him he’s still not eating much but until then I don’t know what to do. I’m desperate for him to get better, it’s making me so upset and I don’t want him to be in pain.
if anyone has had any similar experiences and has some tips, I would really appreciate it. Thank you :/
