Armed with Lauras fact sheet i am off to bed for a read, then up again at 12 for Murphys next feed.

Fingers crossed all goes well in the night. I'm going to be such a moody one tomorrow at work with being up in the night. My little mans worth it thoughx)

I fed him at 1.30 and again at 5.30 then just before i left for work, he is rattling again this am but he is alot stronger and i have seen him wee and do a few small poos so he has picked up a bit.

He is nice and warm now unlike yesterday morning when he was really cold. Hopefully he will keep improving. Going home at 12 for his next feed.
 
Went home at lunch to feed Murphy gave him and his sisters some Excel forage and Murphy tucked in as well with them. He did not eat alot but he looked alot happier and the rattling was almost gone.

After reading Lauras factsheet about syringe feeding i mushed him up some Excel Blacurrant and oregano pellets (fact sheet said this type has been sucessfully used before) for a change, and he could not get enough of them so much after about fifteen 1cc syringes full we broke the syringe. Panicking we only have one spare syringe i have just been back to the vets and they gave me 10 more for spares!

Hopefully with all the mash he is eating he will go from strength to strength he is loving all the attention from his girls though they are taking it in turns to snuggle up to him! I left him cuddling Susannah.x)
 
Fabulous update, thank you for the text and pic too, so nice to see him in a big pile of hay! Fingers crossed the rattle goes and he can regain the rest of his appetite. :)

He has a constant supply of food round him incase he feels like eating, bless him i now know exactly how to get him back eating himself again thanks to your fabulous help sheet, Ken was very impressed by it too.

Murphy says thankyou so much for telling Mummy about the blacurrant and oregano mush as it was a nice change from plain boring Excel mash!x)x)
 
I'm so glad Murphy seems to be improving. The Zithromax is fantastic for respiratory problems. In fact there really is nothing better. My dental pigs all love the Blackcurrant and Oregano pellets. It's so easy to mush up too as it's such tiny pieces.
 
This was Murph munching hay at lunch.

Look at him x) hard to believe he could barely hold his head up last night without getting tired. He is doing so well.x)
 
All that extra food you're getting into him will be helping loads. He's doing so well, but so are you. :)

Keep munching, Murphy! He's so handsome. x) xx
 
Guess who nibbled at some lettuce and a small piece of cucumber this morning? He has been eating hay as well yesterday and last night.

So pleased with him he is coming on great. x)
