Please keep Zoltan in your thoughts! He's very poorly, due to an abscess leaking under his skin. We are now fairly sure, that the pus that is coming out from his tummy, originates from the jaw abscess that his previous vet did a fine needle aspirate of. We are still hoping that we can get this under control, but it isn't going to be a quick fix and the prognosis is guarded. Zoltan's pain relief has been upped, with Tramadol being added to the Metacam and Zithromax! I only had a few hours sleep last night, as Zoltan needed a lot of supportive care! I am going to do everything in my power to get this little guy well again!
 
Fingers firmly crossed for the poor boy!
 
Christian is sending healing wheaks to Zoltan as he had a HUGE abscess removed 2 years ago.
 
Thinking of Zoltan and you. I hope you manage to have more sleep night tonight and Zoltan gets better very soon.
 
Hope all the treatment works for a full & speedy recovery :hug:
The girls send a truckload of healing vibes his (& your) way
Xx
 
All fingers and toes crossed for Zoltan, he is such a lovely boy x
 
Zoltan is looking a little brighter this morning! I think the Tramadol is making a difference and he's now eating for himself, although not enough, so still needing some supportive care. I so want to make things right for this little man and it breaks my heart to see him looking so poorly. Abscesses are awful, at the best of times, but the fact that this has now tracked right down his body, is absolutely heartbreaking!
 
Sending healing wheeks for Zoltan and hugs for you, you must go through so much helping all these poorly piggies, glad his pain is being managed and he is eating a bit, paws crossed that he responds well to treatment x
 
I sincerely hope everything works out for this beautiful piggy. Sending loving, healing vibes to Zoltan and big hugs to you.x

Miss Priya had spotted some chicken, in the fridge, as I got the veggies/salad out for the piggies! She was protesting loudly, as I hadn’t given her any!
 
Zoltan still looks very poorly, but seems to be eating so much better now! I just hope that the Zithromax can get this situation under control. Having so much pus, under the skin, over such a huge part of his body, is a recipe for disaster.

I just can't urge you all enough, to please don't ever let your vet do a fine needle aspiration, if they suspect an abscess.
