I read this thread before going to bed last night though had to read the replies from page 2 onwards before I could go to the first page. I cried so much when I saw the photos. The pain the poor thing must be in and to be dumped liked that. I woke with the images and I'm crying again as I type this. This is one we know about but I get so upset when I think of the ones we don't know about and aren't rescued.

I hope he makes a quick recovery and is now comfortable.

I had the same issue - my OH and I were discussing the ones that slip through and this little chappie at 6.30a.m. on the way to work today as I couldn't get his little face out of my mind last night. I am picking my newbie piggy up tomorrow from Vicky where he is being fostered :0 and will take him and the others some treats :))
 
Poor little piggie :( I just don't understand how anyone could let a piggie suffer like this, I was almost in tears when my Phoebe had a bad eye!
At least he is being looked after now.
 
Danny nearly mad me cry tonight, the poor thing is so terrified of me. He screamed the place down when I had to give him his meds, it must hurt him so much when I handle him. Just wish I could tell him it's for his own good. :(:(

Luckily he seems to like the posh hay, although he is still not keen on eating the dry food. :(

:(:(
 
I'm gobsmacked that anyone could leave an animal in that state and then put him out with the rubbish, it beggars belief, poor little man
 
Top Marks for the Binman

In this day and age of selfishness and the "me me me" attitude I am not remotely surprised but very happy that this little pet has been saved. It worries me so though that this could be the fate of so many lovely Guinea Pigs who are sold without a by your leave by the supermarket pet shops that we are being asked to boycott. (I have now done so)

As a responsible pet owner for all of my life I do not understand the mentallity of some people. This throw away society of ours really does just get worse.

I hope this little pig regains his full health and goes on to live a long and full life to the delight of his new owners. God love him.
 
I can't remember who said something about press coverage but you should definately go for it.The express and star are really helpful as I have dealt with tehm before. People should know what goes on and huge thanks to hte binman who picked him up, that's amazing.

If he likes posh hay then I'd be happy to buy the wee man a bag. A pig like him deserves the best.

Lots of love from my Merry boy who squealled loudly when he saw the photos. Get well soon Danny boy.
 
Poor little soul. If you can get hold of some oxbow alfalfa nibbles they are high in protein which he's gonna need for healing and I've never known a small and furry turn them down.

I've been doing some work into wound healing at work recently - in people of course but a lot if the research is done in rodents. Protein and energy are the vital nutrients, but also vitamin C, Zinc, Iron and vitamin A. Looking at the extent of his wounds I think it might be one of the few cases where a vitamin and mineral supplement might be a good idea. But you have to be very careful of overdoses as some nutrients can be counterproductive in large doses.

Oh wow this poor little piggy I'm new to taking care of guinea pigs I did alot of research before I became a mummy to my own piggys I have 2 and they are so precious to me I can't believe a human would let that poor piggy get in to that mess with out helping him then to throw him away! Oh wow sad sad day to see someone do this to him very well done on rescuing him he has hope for a bright future with you loving care :)

Completely agree, so upsetting I'm in tears.
 
oh no poor lad. I hope he is improving more today, lots of love and wheeks from everyone here, henry sends a stamp rolleyes

Have you tried complan and brown bread? Give him a bowl daily along side his other food untill he refuses it. Worked wonders for starving/underweight/sick pigs in need of more good stuff.

Best cream we have found for those wounds are Eurax, but its darn expensive. Pm me your address i may have an extra tube you can have.

What a brilliant bin man. He deserves a massive hug.
 
Scrao that i only have one tube of eurax and need that for hazel. I have some unopend eumocream, ive heard its almost as good and is cheaper. Want to try that?

I have some other stuff that was suggested with the raw wounds on the fungal/seizure pigs but i hated the feel of it, extremly greasy. Your more than welcome to that it apparently works. (cant think of the name though)

The poor little guy! I really hope he's soon feeling much better. Thank goodness he was found. Now I know why I generally prefer animals to humans! Some people are just total scum! How can you let a living creature get into that state!
 
That is absolutely disgusting how they left him in a bin bag and in such a state. It makes me so angry! pow-pow
 
Think it would be great to track the guy down who found Danny - he is quite a hero in the Midlands now and oblivious to it x>>
 
There's a wee donation for this lovely boy on its way from me and Merry. we hope he's feeling better soon and will find a lovely forever home.x
 
Thank you so much for the donation. Danny has a little message for you later :))

He is doing really well at the moment, he is eating all his veg and posh hay, he will pick at the dry food but isn't really eating much of it.

Here are some photos from today:

He's looking so much better already!

I can hardly believe that it's the same piggy!

Well done Vicki!
 
Yes he does look so much better already; what a little TLC can do, hey?

Doesn't bear thinking about what he has been through. He's a lucky little fella :)
 
That video is really cute. Those are definite signs of a happy little piggie emerging! His skin looks so much better already.

I just wish I could come and give him a big cuddle. He looks such a sweet lad.
