Oh no that is not what you wanted to hear. Lets hope the little man picks up again.
 
Massive healing vibe's Patrick and hugs to you Jo. Hoping he picks up during the night. x x x
 
Oh bless him :(
I'm sure it's all part and parcel of recovering from a major op and hope this is just an off moment for him.
Fingers crossed, I'm sure your keeping a close eye on him.
Sending lots of vibes your way xx
 
Thanks everyone - hopefully this is just a blip on the plus side he's eating a slice of cucumber and I've been syringing him every hour unfortunately I can only get 10ml's at a time :(. x

That's good news about the cucumber. Syringe feeding is tough - especailly when they aren't taking as much as you want them too. I'm sure it's just a small blip in the healing process. He's in the safest of hands with you x
 
Keep coming back to check how your boys is. Hope he picks up soon. Eating cucumber is good. Sending lots of love to you both. xx
 
What are you syringing him? Sometimes having something different perks them back up and they will then take more.

He's had a massive op so it's not surprising that he has been a bit up and down. Hopefully tomorrow will be different. xx
 
So, today is another day, cmon patrick, be good for mummy, it is mothers day after all, best gift ever would be full recovery x

Loved the video in the sun, lovely boy.

Thanks everyone, unfortunately P's downhill again. He was so good this morning me and Hazeyg took the dogs out for 3 hours when we got back it was obvious Mr P, hadn't moved or eaten well we where gone for the last 5 hours he's been off his food only just started nibbling at hay, I've been syringe feeding him.

I honestly feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride, not a very enjoyable one at that.

I know this is normal for post op pigs but it can be so disheartening at times, I think I'll just need to accept there will be many high's and low's in Patrick's recovery.

Aww, it must be very tiring for him, all of this healing. I know he's not eating as much as you'd like but it's heartening to know that he IS eating and he's got his Mummy syringe feeding him too. x
C'mon Patrick. :laluot_29::laluot_29::laluot_29::laluot_29:
 
Just finished yet another feed - I don't know if it's good or bad that he fights the syringe, I guess it means he isn't to ill. I phoned the E-vet last night and they advised me to increase his gut stimulant and up his fluids, I really did think he was a goner but he's still here with no appetite which is helpful. He does chew his food and eat it once it's in his mouth and he was nibbling a tiny bit of hay.

Hopefully he bounces back today.

Oh gosh what a worry it is him not eating. I really hope he picks up again soon.
 
Good news is Patrick's still alive but we believe he's went into gut stasis, spoke to the Emergency vet have increased medicine's and he has been put back with Pebbles to try and encourage him to eat the vet said he should be ok with her and the competition may do him good.

Pebbles was a first class witch to him but has calmed down now, I'll be keeping a close eye and if she bullies him she'll be chucked out.

Hopefully we can pull him though this, he'll eat grass and cucumber on his own.

Pebbles! Honestly didnt your mummy teach you manners!ha ha! I think it will cheer him up no end. What weight is he today?
Not sure about the stasis though cos your feeding so often. But emprid wont do any harm anyhoo :).

No I think it's correct, as I've only started forcing him to eat. Just separated him and Pebbles as they had a fight so that'll be that for the time being. x
 
Glad he's still eating a bit even if it isn't much, hopefully he'll keep finding the grass irresistable. Just keep getting the food into him. x
C'mon Patrick! :laluot_29::laluot_29::laluot_29:
 
Well everyone I was lucky enough to see the special little man today and he had a big story to tell me ...... it went like this:

wheek wheek WHEEK wheek wheek wheeek operation wheek wheek wheek I was very brave wheek wheek wheek not feeling great wheek wheek wheek slave keeps feeding me wheek wheek wheek....

It was great to see / hold him and hear his side of the story .... even if it didnt all make sense to me. I think he appreciates all the well wishes from the forum and says keep them coming :))

Really hope he is feeling better soon - he is in the best hands possible

xx
