Hi everyone,

Haven't been on here a while but a lot's happened since I last posted! One of my boars Fatty Pig who's 5 now keeps having new problems. He's just had an operation to have a very large burst cyst removed (about the size of a 10p!) and i've just found out he has lymphoid tissue in his eyes which has caused ulcers. Can anyone explain this lymphoid tissue a bit further? I also think he may be impacted. I have searched the net but am still unsure. With an impacted boar is it possible for the mass to be hidden, as in not instantly noticeable? He always seems to have a messy bum but it doesn't look like the pictures i've found on the net. Also where would I be able to feel the lump? Is this poor digestion or something I can change in his diet? He's eating the same as my other two younger boars and they don't have the same problem. Thanks for reading, any advice on this would be much appreciated!
 
i don't know about the lymphoid tissue
But with impaction you would feel a large lump inside underneath his back legs inside his belly if indoubt get your vet to check him out but lots of hay/grass will help
Good luck with the little chap x
 
Sorry to hear that Fatty Pig is unwell.

My Rikkyboy had swellings under his front arm pits and chin. Has Fatty Pig any sores from the swellings?
