He is fading. He was himself this morning but has rapidly declined this evening. I'm trying to get hold of the vets for an emergency appointment but I'm not sure he will make it. The heart ache never ends.
 
HUGS!
I am so sorry that you are having such a crap time! Just keep him as comfy as you can; it is likely that an emergency vet can't do anything once the body is closing down. It is always such a gutting realisation and a heart-breaking time. :(
 
I'm so sorry *hugs* what an awful thing to have to go through.
 
I'm so so sorry, my and my girls' hearts go out to you. Keep in warm and put him with his buddies and watch over them.
 
((HUGS)) to you. I'm so sorry!
 
Jeni, I'm so sorry. Huge hugs x
 
Not again! I am so sorry for you, I can't believe what a rough time of things you've been having.
Big hugs x
 
How is Fudge and how are you today? I am thinking of you!
 
After picking up Thursday evening and managing to eat by himself, Fudge continued to take assisted feeds and was fairly bright. We had a another appointment with a vet yesterday so I could pick up some more pain meds and gut stimulants, as it wasn't our usual vet we made an appointment for Tuesday for some dentral work as at the time he was bright, albeit slightly off. Sadly he very rapidly declined last night, and I could see he was giving up. I had my very last cuddle and said my goodbyes, and at some point between half one and now my little fighter fought his last battle.

I am now a mess. The piggies are all in a state. I'm left with a lot of decisions. Sadly since Taffy passed Stan has been bullying the girls rotten, Taffy ruled her husboar with an Iron fist and would intervene and put Stan in his place whenever he decided to throw his weight about. The bullying reached an all time high over the weekend, the girls now squeal and shriek whenever he comes near, several of his ladies are in their twilight years and the stress is too much. He now lives alongside them.

Jammy is alone, she hates Stan (at the beginning they got on well but after about six or seven months it broke down and she moved in with Churchy), she dislikes the girls as much as Stan so at the moment I don't have anyone she can live with.
Truffle is on his own since losing Caesar but has been living alongside Jammy for compamy. They get on fairly well. Ive considered neutering but given I've no idea how old Truffle is, there is a big risk.
And now Winston is by himself. I witnessed an act of friendship between him and Fudge that I've not seen the whole time I've had the pleasure of having them. They would always bicker but were very closely bonded although never very snuggly. Winston lay very close to Fudge, guarding his cosy most of last night. He would eat for a bit and then come back to lay down beside him, just insight so Fudgey could see him. He is very withdrawn this morning. He too is a boar in his golden yearea and I'm worried he is going to grieve more deeply than the others. I would try him with Truffle but they both are very dominant and are likely tro clash.

I don't know what to do. I now cant help but doubt and second guess everything I'm doing. I feel like I can't protect them.
