Poor Little Alfie!

[Nicquita]

Alfie went to the vets recently, as i thought i'd been making mistakes when 'helping' him with his impaction, as he'd appeared to be favouring one leg - i took this as a sign of discomfort. well, it turns out he has a fractured left-hand back leg. poor little guy.

i really really hope it's an old break, as i feel awful enough as it is. however, it's been assumed that he'd seem in obvious pain if it was a new break.

he seems happy enough in himself, so that's good.

on a brighter note, the vet's also said that now that he's on a stable diet (the rescue was mainly feeding donations, obviously), his impaction might get a little better, which is pretty awesome in itself. he seems to be running around fine, and not squeaking in pain etc.

i think the only reason i caught on was because i'm being an overprotective piggle mommy

my poor poor little man

Good for you on picking up on his injuries right away! He's lucky to have you for a piggy mama!

Hope Alfie feels better soon

thanks, i hope so too. he seems to have settled in well. i can't wait to have them moved into their extended house x)

i really really hope my poor little guy feels okay soon. he posed for some pigtures earlier, so i should have those up soonish

Good on you for picking up on it!

Hoepfully, you can get his impaction somewhat under control! At least, Alfie is now in a good place and I'm sure that he'll appreciate it!

i feel quite sorry for Layla she's apologised a fair few times. i'm hoping that she'll read this, so that she knows i don't think it's her fault at all. it really isn't an obvious problem, and it isn't causing him pain.

again, as always, thanks Wiebke i'm glad i picked up on it. even if there's nothing huge i can do to make it all better, at least i can monitor it and make sure it doesn't get worse.

It is not always easy for rescue people to pick up on things that are not immediately obvious - like an old fracture.

exactly

little Alfie is an absolutely stunning little guy, with an absolutely amazing personality. i couldn't possibly have chosen a better rescue piggle x)

Poor boy. I hope he's on the mend soon. xx>>>

He sounds like such a lovely boy.

Poor little man. Look forward to seeing his photos.

Hope the leg and impaction are soon on the mend
