Hi guys bit fed up.
Firstly we had snowy who was neutered/lumps removed had abcessess and in hospital for nearly 3 weeks (one week we were away) with 2 other boys, who also had abcesses after neutering. little baby jo got a upper respiratory infection when I was away. Jo and the other 2 have just come off baytril on wed and snowy's twin frosty had the crackles so back to the vets and he is on Baytrill with a nasty chst infection, come down to see them this morning and Smokey, one of my heart pigs, had the crackles and I found an abcess on snowy again on the other side this time so he is now being knocked out (only for 10 mins) AGAIN to have it cleaned and smokey is on Baytrill too. Poor snowy only had his staples out on friday for the other side of his neuter site and his stitches are nearly disolved from the lumps being removed and the poor little man will need another lot on the other side.
Am I doing something wrong/bad to get all this at once I know I am being a bit self pitying but can we just have one week at least when all the boys stay happy and healthy I don't think we could do anymore for them poor little things. they are all so fed up with waiting for veggies until the med round has been done rolleyes not to mention the poor boys having baytril twice a day. sorry to rant I have so much other stuff going on too feeling a bit sulky! :red
