Hi there
I just wondering if anybody had any advice for me... a few months ago i lost one of my pigs Dave... he kept making a strange noise and arching his back like he was in pain.
Ive had pigs all my life but i have never heard one make this noise before, ive had a pig before that had bladder stones and she didnt make this kind of noise.
He was still eating and drinking and seemed fine apart from randomly making this noise then one day he couldnt really walk, i took him to the vets and the vet couldnt really seem to find anything wrong with him, so gave him a pain killer. Later that eve he passed away.
Now he cage mate (which is his brother) has started making the same noise and arching his back. He seems fine in himself and still eating and drinking the normal amount for him.
The only think i can think of is it could possibly be a UTI..
Just wondered if anyone else has had this before and what it could be?
I will take him to the vets, but i dont hold out much hope as the vet i saw didnt really know what was wrong with dave.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks x
