I was just thinking how lovely it was that no pig was causing me any anxiety - Hah!
Phoebe decided to lose some weight and go all quiet.
I gave her some Oxbow Critical Care which she took, put a dish in the cage last night.
Neither nose in the dish belonged to Phoebe
This morning I phoned the vet and we went in this afternoon.
I still had to talk to the vet on the phone and sit in my car outside - it’s a very small surgery.
Phoebe had a thorough check and the only thing the vet found was some discomfort at her back. There’s no sign of arthritis fortunately but the vet thinks she may have pulled a muscle which is why she’s uncomfortable and not cleaning her bottom as well as usual.
Phoebe now has 5 days of cat Metacam ( 2.4ml once a day) to help her.

Personally I blame an over enthusiastic boar!
 
Hope Phoebe feels better soon. Meg and Patsy send healing wheeks as they both know what a poorly back feels like.
 
Healing vibes & speedy recovery Phoebe.
... Tell Micah, I know it's the Olympics but he doesn't need to go for any medals to impress his ladies ;)

.... My girls think he's a right hunk :luv: 💋
Xx
 
Oh my. I'm sure Phoebe will be back to normal in no time. I think there is a show about when this happens to humans too lol
 
Aww. Hope she feels much better very quickly. X

Phoebe seems to be back to her normal bright and bouncy self.
She runs away every morning when I try to give her the Metacam until she realises what it is.
I’m relieved this has done the trick but will check her over tomorrow to make sure there’s no discomfort still.
 
Just caught this thread

So pleased to hear that Phoebe is feeling much better 🥰
 
Glad Phoebe is doing well, its amazing how metacam/loxicom clears up minor piggy aches and pains! Looking forward to seeing you and all your gorgeous piggies on Tuesday and we have a little present for them that might distract the Mighty Micah from sumo-wrestle-loving his ladies too much :)
