Hey guys, new to the forum here...
I've had this boar (Frank) for about three months now, and he's normally extremely explorative, HATES having his butt touched, and drinks water non stop. About two days ago we noticed that he hadn't eaten or drank for a decent amount of time that worried us. We then started inspecting him then noticed that his left eye lid is puffy, and the inner portion of his pupil is a bit grey. We also noticed that he has something stringy coming out of his butt, we can wipe it off with paper towel, but then a bit later there will be more. We've began feeding him Critical Care (first time, he took 20mL willingly, second time he only took 10.) He's now a bit more alert than when we first noticed he was having issues, but his eye hasn't changed any. Of course he's pretty skinny, but that will be a work in progress to fatten him up a bit. Any help is great. Thanks.
