What Is This?

[Dan Angelis]

I have no idea what this is this appeared when he had an infection of his neuter so those this has anything to do with he's infection

 

[Cavy Kung-Fu]

Oh my goodness! He needs to see a vet asap, that could be a massive abscess or severe infection. Poor little baby!

Please contact a piggy savvy vet and get him seen as soon as you can, must be very painful! Is he being treated with baytril for his infection still?

 

[Tim]

That looks painful, please seek a vet as soon as possible. Poor thing x

 

[Jesse's pigs]

I too would advise seeing a cavy savvy vet. That is definitely not right and the sooner it's seen to the quicker it gets resolved and the cheaper it is.

it appears to be an abcess,he needs to be seen by a vet urgently.I'm sorry you are having problems.i had a boar 18 months down the line of neutering that had a big abcess come up.it was drained,but the abcess had envoloped all his penis and perianal sac,so could not pee or poo,that was an emergency at 2am in the morning.

I'm sorry about your boar I hope he's better but I definitely want to him to see a vet but thanks to my dad this is the result he didn't want to believe that there was something wrong with him

 

[Cavy Kung-Fu]

Well he can have a look at this thread, it's definitely an emergency!

Hope you get him sorted out and better soon

 

[eileen]

yes thanks he made a full recovery.i had to syringe the abcess hole for a month,and syringe feed as he stopped eating.your piggie needs to see a vet as soon as possible,if it bursts you could have a very difficult time with infection in his inner organs.

ok,try and keep your boy comfortable,ensure he is eating and drinking,peeing ok.have you any pain relief for him?weight him daily,if his weight drops 50grams or more then i would start to syringe feed him you can use mashed up pellets,but he should be fine until you get to the vet.please try and get to the vet in the morning,it is an emergency.how many weeks ago was he neutered?please keep this thread updated on how your piggie is .piggies they do make us worry.x

 

[Claire W]

Good luck at the vets tomorrow. I am glad that your dad has agreed that he needs to be seen.

All the best for your boy x

 

[Cavy Kung-Fu]

Good luck at the vets, hope he's okay!

 

[Guinea Mum]

How is he now?

 

[sridevirb]

Hope he is recovering. @Dan Angelis waiting to hear from you!

 

[Dan Angelis]

The vet saw him and now he has to take some medicine I think he's better now because I see him eat and drink but thank you all for worrying about him one thing I like to know is that I don't want him to be in this cage long and I want him to be in the big cage with Farrah how long do you think I have to live he here

 

[Jesse's pigs]

Qurantine period is around 2 weeks I think for sick piggies but I'd asked your vet as they know more on the illness and if it's contagious etc. Glad he's doing well though!

After neutering boys need to stay apart from girls for 6 weeks.

Did the vet do anything to the lump? If it was an abscess they normally make a hole and empty to out.

Do you know what the medicine is? It should say on the bottle, along with whag dose to give.

 

[Guinea Mum]

Was it an abscess that they drained? Or something else? What's the medicine called? I'm so glad he's doing better!

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

So what exactly did the vet say the problem was? Which medication was he prescribed? Did he need any surgery?

 

[VickiA]

I have merged your 2 threads @Dan Angelis

 

[Dan Angelis]

The vet told me that it was an abscess and they drained it so the medicine are painkillers and antibiotics

So it was just lanced and drained and didn't need marsupialisation? Has it been left open so you can flush it daily? Which antibiotic has been prescribed and at what dose?
