I think Garry may be dying...

Got home to him today - he'd eaten all the vetpet nuggets I'd put in this morning and a big bowl of herby salad leaves! I just wet the nuggets rather than squidge them properly. Made him some more when I got in and he went straight over and tucked in! He's a little trooper alright!:)
 
Great news! I am really pleased.:)

Hoping that Garry continues his progress and thanks to you for caring for him so well!
 
must be making up for lost time at pigging food :)p great news he's doing so well xx
 
What wonderful news. Well done Garry and also to mummy for taking such good care of this precious little boy!
 
He is still troughing on the Vetpet nuggets (wish I'd found them sooner!) - every time I go in there, he's polished off another bowl! They seem to have done him some good too as his poos are back to normal - well, for him anyway!

(Think I've finally converted Andrew fully to being a piggy person - I can hear him talking to them all upstairs!):)):)):)):))

woooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo Andrew is hooked now x)x)x)
them whee are all so so chuffed that Garry is feeling so much better, the girlies send him loads of kisses and nose rubs xoxoxoxoxoxo
 
Just a quick update - Garry is now living back with Minty. Seems his abscess has healed nicely and his bum is now back to normal so Minty should leave it alone! He is currently having his breakfast, sitting here beside me eating yet more Vetpet nuggets (you'd think I was on commission, but seriously, they're great!) so now all we need to worry about is his teeth problem which is a drop in the ocean after all his other goings on!:)

I'm so pleased to hear they are back together. If you are around Wednesday afternoon after 3, I will come to see my little friends, plus you and Andrew of course!

Yep, not doing anything as far as I know! Am up early Wednesday - taking my dad to hospital for an op. Then am out Wednesday night but will be free in between. Had best do the boys out tomorrow then!:))
 
Just a quick update on G...he was due a tooth check today so we were going to see Simon anyway. Last night, G became very quiet and lethargic and he was the same today. He had developed a head tilt to the left, which is the same side he had the abscess on. Long story short, Simon seems to think that at first glance, it would appear G has a middle ear infection, perhaps as a result of the abscess. So, he is back on Zithromax for the next 10-14 days. Still on the Metacam too. After that, if he is still tilting to the left, we will have a look at some other treatment options. Is there anything else this pig wants to throw at us?! :)
 
My goodness. I think Garry must just love all the attention mummy is giving him, either that or he loves trips to the vets:(|):(|) Good luck to Garry and hope the ear infection clears up..
 
The poor little guy! He seems to get one challenge after another. I can't help but think that he likes his vet visits though, after what you told me about him and Simon rubbing noses! :)) Simon used to do that with Pops until she tried to bite his nose!

Ha ha! I told Simon it was his fault...last time he said that G was running out of bits to go wrong, so I think G has gone out of his way to find something else! Strangely, he did perk up once we'd been...hmmm! Still not liking the Zithromax though...such a challenge to get it into him. Hope it's not bad for us either...I do end up with an armful!
