Here is a picture of the two of us having a cuddle on the sofa. This is three weeks since his stroke. He is still my handsome boy :))

WOW what challenges this little piggy has faced but he is adorable and has a very loving mum :)
 
Update 14/11/12

I have not been updating you all - well on the weekend he had a backward step and went back down to 2lbs 10oz. I noticed though since Monday that he has been wheeking at the fridge door opening and running around again. We were even treated to some popcorning last night! I thought I'd weigh him and now he is 2lb 12oz. This makes me very happy. I don't think he will be ever 3lb 3oz again, but he is always a heavy weight champ in my eyes! X
 
Update 16/11/12

2lbs 12.5 oz! The heaviest he has been for about 6 weeks!
 
Update 18/11/12

And more good news - he is now 2lbs 13oz! He is getting to be a big boy indeed.

I'm so proud!
 
More good news on 02/12/12 - 2lbs 14.5oz! My little man is getting big!
 
Update 09/12/12

Back to 2lbs 12.5 oz but he is still perkier and loving life x
 
I know - I can't believe he was knocking on Rainbow Bridge's door four months ago - he is a super pig!
 
You should put more photos of him in a new thread to see how well he is doing. :)
 
My advice would be to get an xray, good luck. hugs and good vibes. L and the gang
 
I thought you would all pleased to know Mr Black tipped the scales at a massive 3lbs and 1/4 of an oz! This is amazing news as he has not been over 3lbs since he was poorly back in October. Looking at him today it is hard to imagine he was so so poorly... love and attention saved the day. We still have to check his bum to make sure there are no blockages but it is a small price to pay to have this little bundle of fluff in my life!

Great news! Thanks for the update!
 
Just to keep you updated he is now 2lbs 15.5oz. Lost a little but nothing to worry about. He is old now though! x
 
Good evening on this sunny day! Just letting you know that Mr Black's weight is currently 2lbs 15.25oz - a slight drop but nothing to worry about.

He is on close watch again though as he started to limp so we started with the Oesteocare again and it started to get better then this morning he started 'bunny hopping' and lifting his left leg. It's different to what it was before but he's lost no weight and not lost his appetite and drinks normal. He's basically acting himself apart from the limp! Going to try him on Potters tabritis to see if this helps my little fella out. He's almost 5 so he is getting old and we all need help when we het old! I'd do anything for this piggie so let's hope his limp bogs off soon!

I'll keep you updated!
 
Thanks for the update, hope he gets well soon.
