My poor Alvin is in the hospital tonight. He is very lethargic, his breathing is rapid and he feels cold. They are putting him in an incubator, giving him fluids and Critical Care along with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. They don't know what is wrong with him so are just trying everything they can.
He had blood in his urine a couple of weeks ago and had ABs and AIs for that and seemed to get better. When I cleaned him out on Tuesday he seemed a little quiet and didn't rush to eat his veggies. I've been giving him Critical Care since then. I didn't see him much yesterday but he tucked in to his cucumber OK. This evening I went to clean him out again and he just sat there, chin on the ground. I put some more cucumber in as its his favourite and he moved towards it and made a few noises but it was as though he didn't have the strength to eat, he just sat next to it. I don't know what is wrong with him but he really looks poorly, the vet isn't sure if he'll make it.
We think he's about 3 and he's an indoor piggy
Please say a pray/send positive thoughts for my little piggy, he's a very special boy to us all
