Alfie was put to sleep today at 5:23pm aged two and a half.

He'd been diagnosed with a urine tract infection exactly 7 days ago and was asked to come back for a check-up today.
This morning he seemed fine. He was walking about, had a bit to eat (his appetite was a bit off) and then went to lie next to his frozen bottle.

We went to get him to take him to the vet and found him lying limply on his side. When we arrived he got worse and the vet saw us immediately. He offered to take Alfie to the surgery, just up the road, but said that it wasn't likely he'd survive and that he would need lots of surgery, oxygen tent, etc.

The decision was made to put him to sleep to end the pain he was in.

It all happened so quickly. I thought he was getting better. I'm so devastated but the vets were wonderful.

Rest in peace little one 8...

What a lovely picture of a handsome pig, I'm so sorry for your loss. Perhaps a mod could move this to the Rainbow Bridge section?

Unfortunately they can go downhill so quickly, often they die before an owner notices anything is wrong. It's so sad but at least he is not suffering.

Rest in peace lovely Alfie

I'm so sorry. Alfie was a very handsome boy and I know he will leave a hole in your heart. He will now be running free at Rainbow Bridge and I'm sure he will have plenty of ladies fighting over him.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss - and it's even sadder that it was sudden. He was a splendid boy - that is a photograph worth framing.

I am so sorry that you lost poor gorgeous Alfie - this hot weather is hell for piggies and compounds any illness they have. There is not much you can do, unfortunately!

RIP Alfie

Thank you everyone, it's so comforting to hear all your kind words.

I'm thankful that he did take a turn for the worst yesterday as he was only suffering for two hours tops. It would have been awful had it started at night :(
