Rosie - Lump

[Jamston]

Poor Rosie has a lump on her back. I have inspected it and it does not appear to bother her but it is the size of a raisin. We are going to the vets this afto for a proper inspection and diagnosis. Hoping it is nothing to worry about! Picture of her looking concerned and stood on the wood tunnel!

Poor Rosie, hope its nothing serious- sounds like you've spotted it straight away though. Healing wheeks and best of luck at the vets x

 

[rhymer]

Fingers crossed it's nothing serious.
Hugs to Rosie.x

 

[VickiA]

Good luck at the vets.

 

[Alison c]

Aww good luck at the vets hope everything goes ok and it's nothing to worry about xx

 

[Claire W]

Aw bless her. Good luck at the vets. Hopefully it’s nothing to be concerned about x

 

[Jamston]

Thankyou for all the wishes of good luck. She is going with a pack lunch of baby corn and coriander. Posey Rocket is going to keep her company as she has a sore shoulder where she has scratched.

 

[Merab]

Hope it’s nothing serious - good catch on your part

 

[Jamston]

Rosie is fine and the vet has given her a thorough inspection. The lump is an abscess and has been drained. Posey Rockets shoulder was loads better by the time we got to the vets but has been prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection. The vet said apart from their ailments they were in excellent health which is good to hear.

 

[Jamston]

Rosie has some metacam to help after the abscess was drained. After initial concern she was licking it up furiously from the end of the syringe!

 

[Lady Kelly]

Glad to hear they are both ok otherwise. Just keep an eye on the abscess as it may refill and then might need stitching open so it can heal from the inside out

 

[Claire W]

Glad all is ok

 

[rhymer]

Glad they are both ok. Hope they both heal completely.x

 

[Jamston]

Rosie would like to say Thankyou for everyone’s concern. She has had some extra apple leaves for being a brave piggy!

 

[Betsy]

Did the vet give you anything to flush the abscess with?

 

[Jamston]

No just some antibiotics? She drained it and there isn’t anything to flush as there is no hole. Do you think I need something to flush it?

 

[Betsy]

I'm not an abscess queen as my only experience with abscesses is a HUGE one that Christian had to have removed in May of last year. @furryfriends (TEAS) is the abscess queen. My vet did say (before it was realised just how big Christian's abscess was) that she may have to stitch it open and I would have to flush it out. This is the size of the abscess that I Christian had in his tiny body.

 

[Jamston]

Poor Christian. Hopefully we have caught it early enough we are back at the vets in two weeks for a check up.

 

[Flutterby]

Sending lots of healing vibes!

 

[Merab]

Glad it was nothing serious.
Hope beautiful Rosie makes a full recovery

 

[Jamston]

Rosie’s abscess seams to have healed nicely and has not returned. She is back at the vets on Friday for a check up.

 

[Merab]

Sounds positive.
I’m pleased for you and Rosie.
Hope it doesn’t return

 

[Jamston]

Rosie having some fresh grass as a reward for being a super piggie.

 

[Merab]

She’s also a very beautiful piggy

 

[Jamston]

She’s also a very beautiful piggy

Thankyou. She is the quietest of the trio and has the least fancy coat compared to the others but she is a lovely friendly girl and a relaxed boss pig!

 

[sport_billy]

Hope Rosie is still doing well x

 

[Bill & Ted]

Glad Rosie is on the mend x Gorgeous girl!

 

[Jamston]

We went back to the vets with Rosie and her 2 friends to see how her abscess had healed and the vet was very pleased with it. She had a full inspection and the vet thought she was in excellent health.

 

[Bill & Ted]

Aw, that’s great news, well done Rosie!

 

[Jamston]

Aw, that’s great news, well done Rosie!

She is a super brave boss pig!
