I'm pleased to hear Carson is a little bit better. Fingers crossed he picks up quickly now he is on medication and getting syringe feeds.

Glad Carson is a bit better.
Take care of yourselves too.
Don’t worry about what you’re going to eat, or when, just have what you want when you want.
Things will settle down.
Hugs

Carson passed away at around 11pm. 
At around 6-7pm while hubby was feeding him, I noticed that his stomach is getting bigger and he was having this little pain whimpers, which made me so worried and start crying. We decided to have a drive around the country side to get more mobility movement for him. At around 9pm, hubby phoned the emergency vets coz he was splat on the floor in their cage. He moved from his fleece bed to the box next to Bodie and Bodie sniffed him a few times before going to his hay to eat. By around 10pm, we were at the vets and they did an xray. It showed that his whole stomach is full of gas and all his poops were stuck in the intestines. He wasn't passing any of it and not weeing even after giving him emeprid. Only 3 tiny very hard poops managed to get out while hubby was on the phone to the emergency vets. So while we were talking to the vet after the xray and trying to arrange what to do next, Carson was twitching a lot and I knew it was the end. By the time the vet took him to the back, after around 5-10 mins, he came out and said that Carson passed away while they were preparing to do the procedure.
This breaks my heart so much. He was very healthy (apart from having cataracts due to type 2 diabetes, which was all managed), happy and always wheeking for food two weeks ago. He was the happiest piggy we've had, always zooming and popcorning for no reason. Bodie even at times get away from him because he was such a cuckoo. Hubby and I are not very happy on how this happened. He sent an email earlier to the boarders about everything. Carson was only 2 yrs and 4 months approx. He wasn't supposed to die this early in our minds because he was full of life.
Bodie has said his goodbyes to Carson, sniffed him 2x. But to be honest, I don't think he is bothered at the moment as he was eating grass next to him. We don't know yet what we'll do with Bodie. We did say that both Bodie and Carson will be our last piggies. If Bodie will be fine being alone, we don't know.
