I am rather concerned about harry this morning, he has barely touched his breakfast but he looks happy in himself
 
Hey love can you take him in for a check up?
Maybe he's a bit not himself :{
Offer him some of his fav treats and watery stuff, like even wash some veg and put it in front of him so he'll be tempted.............otherwise off to vets pront
awwwwwwwwwww come on PH we so behind you little guy xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>

and hey girl been thinking of you too, i know how emotional you get and how draining this all is, it's cause you love you're little man sooo dam much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
HUGS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
If you are concerned, do talk to the vet. What antibiotics is he on? Baytril in particular can hit the digestion hard and make piggies go off their food and upset their tummies. A probiotic can help but if it's making him go completely off food, you and your vet may wish to consider a slightly gentler antibiotic.

Is he on pain meds at all? Pain can also affect a pigs appetite.

Hoping he picks up his eating very soon. x
 
I sat him on the sofa next to me with lots of his favourute veggies which he showed no interest in but I noticed him munching on some hay later on.

He's booked in for the vets at 10.30am tomorrow. Yes he's Baytril, I will ask for some Bio Lapis tomorrow if no improvement.

Yes I love the little man so much he's such a special piggy.
 
x)x) give harry love from me and kathryn, hope he feels himself again soon.

Just gave hime his tea but, he is having is tea sat on a towel next to me on the sofa and though he's not eaten a lot he's had a bit of a nibble at it
 
I know how you feel, my Captain Jack had an op at a similar time to Prince Harry and it took him a few days to eat properly again.. I was so worried. He lost a tooth at the same time (never rains but it pours!). I found that grating his veg into little bits made him more likely to eat it, also that when he would eat nothing else, some freshly picked grass was the only thing he'd nibble at.

I do hope Prince Harry rallies round - he's one of my favourite forum pigs! Sending hugs

Thanks will try that, how is captain Jack now? I have been trying to follow his thread. He's sat watching the box right now rolleyes
 
Harry update

he had a very poor breakfast, the vet thinks it may be a number of things but starting off with the fact that it may be pain so he had a painkilling injection this morning and was prescribed some bio-lapis. He seems brighter tonight and has eaten a small tea and accepted some bio-lapis and sat his at side of me

He has another appointment for another check up in the morning
 
very quick update, he's a bit brighter but still not eating so as well as bio-lapis he's on science recovery as well which he loves, boss has very kindly agreed to let me take him into work so that were we are heading now
 
Prince Harry on the road to recovery, he's brighter and starting to eata small diet.I think we still have a few days to go before he's back to normal bt we are getting there.
 
Latest update

Been back at the vets yet again today, wound is healing well but he has lost a lot of weight but as he is eating i can stop the syringe feeding but must keep a very close eye on what he is eating. Unfortunately that is not the end of his problems as he has developed a really bad mite problem so the little man has scratched himeself to bits, its probually as a result of the stress of the op/illness so he will need several more visits to the vets over the next three weeks to get that all cleared up. My poor little man and he has been such a brave boy through it all.
 
Oh love i'm so sorry to hear that PH now has mites as well, arghhhhh poor little guy getting so many things wrong all at once :(
Heaps of loves and little kisses on his oh so cute nose from me xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>
