As most of you know i have 14 piggies but 1 in particular has always been my main man. My little Lincoln pig. He was my first piggy and is soooo much fun! I thought no other piggy would come close. I have all my other piggies and love them more than anything in the world but lately i have grown a special bond with another young man.
Little Dudley has really become a firm favourite of mine. He was so ill when i rescued him that i thought he wouldnt make it (nore did my family). He was so weak and scared and just looked like he had given up. I got him from the freeads. When i turned up the bloke was a breeder and Dudley apparently was worthless now so was free to a home. When i got there he was in a tiny hutch with 6 rabbits and to many piggies to count! He had bite marks all over him and still has bits missing from his ears. There was no food or water in the hutch and when the bloke got him out he just chucked him into the carry case and told me he doesnt even have a name. He was so under weight and wouldnt eat or drink anything. I started syringe feeding him and eventually he started taking it and became stronger. He was still petrified of me but let me do what was needed. He then started eating on his own. I was so proud of him.
I recently had him neutered and took on 3 girlies for him. Unfortunatly the neutering didnt go well and he has two abcesses. He is fine in himself and is taking his medication like a good boy but I'm so worried. I sat with him today and felt so much love i cant explain it.
He might have to have an operation next week so please everyone think of him and pray he will be ok for me !
I had to post this as i feel so awful at the moment. I couldnt bear for something like this to go so wrong when he has been so strong and been through so much. I really dont know what to do with myself and really want him to be ok. He now trusts me and sits and tries to talk to me, he eats out of my hand and welcomes me when i come in the room. Compared to how he was when i got him i cannot belive how close he has let me come.

Fingers crossed please everyone!

I have everything crossed for you. He sound like he his a fighter.pow-pow
 
got everything crossed for Dudley, hope he recovers quickly and doesn't need another op, just focus on how happy he is going to be when he finally meets his new ladies :) always here if you need a chat, sending lots of love,wheeks and healing vibes your way from me and all the furries xx
 
You love Dudley and he knows it. Although you are feeling awful now, as I said in your other thread, you did it for him. You put him in the hands of experts and unfortunately it didn't go as smoothly as it could have.

Has the vet told you to keep the wound open by bathing it each day so not to let the skin heal over before the puss has gone?

I am sure now that he is on the antibiotics that he will improve and will be back to his normal self very soon.

Hugs coming Dudley's way (especially from Umbrella) xx
 
He sounds like a little fighter ........... I'm sure with you caring for him everything will go well ................ healing wheeks to Dudley and hugs to you xoxo
 
Thank you so much everyone. I'm so worried at the moment. I hate not knowing what to do for the best. I'm just lucky his such a brave boy. I will let you all know how his getting on.
Goldie i have PMed you x
 
AHHH he really has been through the mill...lets hope he's soon 100% fit. My Smudgie had a recurring abcess 6 months after he was neutered... He had an op to clean it out at first then just as we thought it was all sorted the abcess came back & he was back on the antibiotics, thankfully he's been fine lately so I hope your Dudley will recover as well as Smudgie did.I'll keep everything crossed for you.
 
Thanks I'm hoping so aswel. Does anyone know if his opertated on if i still need to keep the wound open and flush it?
When i was younger i lost a rabbit to a absess that he had on his face, it was awful and the stress of pulling the scab off killed him in the end. My mom thinks i should have Dudley PTS if i need to do this but I'm not going to give up on him for no one!
 
What a sad start for Dudley.... I'm really glad that you have him now. He will probably find the strength to pull through because he is a loved piggy now - and has so much to live for! Lots of good vibes are winging their way to poor Dudley x
