WE LOVE YOU PATRICK!!

I think he is a little like the forum mascot; everyone rallies behind him to get better, and he raises everyone's mood!
That video is amazing, you would never be able to tell from that that he'd just had major surgery! What a special little boy, please keep on healing honey xxxxxxx
 
Day 2 - Life in the Critical lane!

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but every day, I get a little more confident that he's going to make it. As it's another day of healing, I'm glad Patrick is doing so well had he passed on Monday after the operation I would have been devastated as he'd did so well and I don't want my last memories to be of him in pain and unable to get comfortable.

Patrick is proving to be horrendously fussy, but this morning when I woke up he was in his hammocky house and looked out to see if I had anything in the form of veggies so a firm interest in food. I have gave him a syringe feed today as I want to ensure he is getting enough food, veggies he will not take unless it's cucumber or handed to him. If you give him a pile of veggies he'll leave them bizarrely enough, I'm sure Pebbles would help him eat them.

We did have another break though - Patrick has to have additional fluids as it's important to keep his kidney's going. Well today he decided he's back on the Barley water and was chasing the syringe xx>>>!

He's currently sitting in a huge pile of hay munching happily, I can't wait till he starts taking an interest in the other pigs, as at the moment I think he still feels weak.

This morning.

Come on little smiley guy you can do itx)x)

Re tubes Jo it's probably me! All I know is that without the stoma we would have lost Jazz that day. It's great that there are vets out there willing to give intricate surgery a go on these little guys. Keeping everything crossed for little Patrick. xx
 
I think we all need to have a party on St. Patricks Day! :))

Keep going Patrick! xx>>>
 
Aww beautiful boy. He sounds so happy with his little piece of cucumber. He really is so special.

I'm fairly certain without my vet Patrick would not be here, he's been given the possible chance and that's all I could ask for!

I hope Patrick, is like your Jazz survivor's, they can both have legend status! :(|)

Oh wow Patrick seems to be doing so well following his surgery. I am so pleased he's through and now he's in your excellent care his chances are very very good. All the best to you both x x x

Glad that Patrick is eating well etc and drinking too. Keep going Patrick.
 
Looking gorgeous as ever mr p!

Keeping everything crossed for you both that this continues xx
 
He looks like he's enjoying the green spaghetti! Sorry I didn't get on last night to check how he was. Glad he's eating the way he run off with the cucumber is fab. Your vet deserves a medal for doing surgery like that. Long may his recovery continue. He's a little soldier! Well done Patrick! Fingers crossed for the next few days x

Patrick Day 3

Patrick had a not so pleasant evening he was very vocal, every time he urinated he cried and wouldn't move from his house. I was very concerned about him, that was until he sneeked out about bed time to eat hay, I've never been so relieved. He's also passing blood in his urine, I've already questioned this with both my vet's and although I know this is perfectly normal I still worry..

It's odd, as P seems to vary from good to bad and every time he has an off moment I become concerned. I don't really know what to expect and sometimes question if I will or not know something bad is happening!

It probably doesn't help Patrick is the first pig I've ever had to have an operation, Patrick wasn't happy enough with that though he had to have major surgery. I'm syringe feeding P again, as he's not eating enough for my liking but he is eating and still poo'ing so that's good news. He's only lost 7 grams since his operation, which is quite impressive!

If any pig deserves to live it's him, I keep telling him!xx
 
He definately does deserve to live ..... so thats what he must do.... Its good that he is still eating, peeing and pooing and hasn't lost much weight at all - all good signs.

Keep it up Patrick and Jo - you're getting there ... each day has got to be a day closer to healing up completely,

xx
