Awww, you can tell he is an old man. ;D Bless him. :smitten:
 
Had an appointment with Paula today within half hour of making it as he was dribbling and had a pongy mouth :(

Turned out he had beetroot stick (cos he hasn't got strength in his front teeth to break them) stuck in his back teeth!

Quick visit there and we were back home and he had loads more syringes! :D

syringe feeding Ton is not cruel. He takes what he wants and I do not force it into his mouth.

Syringe feeding as a whole does sound a bit cruel but when it comes to health and whether a pig dies or not, then syriging is a neccessity.
It could be for short term or even long term, but it helps a piggy so is good :)

Syringe feeding is not cruel. It is heartbreaking to do because we know our darling is poorly.

Kelly, I'm so very sorry Tonic is poorly again. He must get better for his birthday

Lots of :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: to you both from all of us.
 
Hang in there Kelly.. you can see that in those pictures he really appreciates his mum! :smitten:
 
oh Ton come on babe we need to hear good news about you mummys so worried again maybe a few bourbons between me and you ::) might help you out , Kelly try not to worry too much we know what a smart ass he is :smitten:
and syringe feeding can be the difference betrween living and dying so if its needed short or long term its always for a very good reason or it would never be done,

oh so its cookies now is it Ton be a good boy and do what the vet says a nd look after mummy shes so worried about her biccy nickin piggy :smitten:
 
Thank you all, it means so much. :smitten:

Ton has suspected diabetes and kidney failure :( He's on baytril right now and increased Metacam.

He has been retaining his syringed food by keepping it in his cheeks the little tinker! Paula said his teeth are brilliant at the moment, but to give things a week to see if he has made any improvement/s.
He is 1.03 kg now and was 1.05kg on friday, so a steady loss. But still not good :(

I am to check his ketones level if I can soon.
