Pig

Hi 365 and all of you who love 'The Pig'. You have all been so kind when I have posted pictures of the Pig and I thought I would let you have a little update.
We have had a tricky week, in and out of the vets as Pig has been unable to keep food or water down. After finally being rushed to a specialist up in Bedfordshire, we were pleased to be able to bring her home again last night.
Much to her enjoyment, she has been poked, prodded and shaved while she has been on her little holiday, but this has proved that she has a condition called Megaesophagus, which means she is unable to swallow.
This means that she has to eat and drink, sitting up but by the looks of this photo (being served breakfast while sitting in Mrs B's best beanbag), I think she may be laughing at me?

That is quite upsetting to know and you have to deal with it but your love for Pig will help both you and her!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Oh Pig, so sorry how upsetting. I hope she continues to be a happy girl and can cope with her condition. Thinking of you dear pig xxx

Poor little Pig although looking like royalty sitting up there.

[Leonie M]

I think she looks like the Queen sitting up there. Hope she gets used to the new routine soon, poor love.

[Carol W]

Poor Pig and how upsetting for you. Glad to hear she is back with you and adapting to her new feeding routine.

[Susan Golding]

Oh poor Pig! A worry for you all. I'm sure you will all get used to her new feeding routine soon. She looks content!

[Tricia O'Donnell]

Her majesty miss Pig looking very regal I hope her new routine help her get back to her old self

[Karin Hirsch]

So sorry to hear about Pig's condition .Poor little girl. Good to know she can manage swallowing while sitting up and surely Mrs. B doesn't mind about the beanbag, she'd even go out and fetch whatever to help the poor Pig.

Sorry to hear this, Graham. Poor Pig! I Googled and it looks as if it's going to take you all a bit of getting used to. I hope all goes well.

[Michelle]

Poor pig! Looks like she is being well taken care of. You and your wife are wonderful!

[Danette Thompson]

Oh, I am so sorry! I do hope she gets better.

Thank you all so much for all your kind words. She had a better day today and went for a short walk in the sun.

Must have been quite a traumatic experience for you all. At least you now know what the problem is and can make plans on how to move forward. I hope everyone settles into a routine without too much fuss and bother.

[Katia]

Poor baby!! Give her a hug from me!

[Taffy]

She looks like she owns this chair! Poor thing, though...although I bet she somewhat enjoys having the attention at every single meal.

[AC]

Oh no... I hope all is well soon!

[❀ Lynn]

Poor Pig...but she should enjoy the special attention for a while...I hope you all recover quickly...is this something that will settle with time or will it be a lifetime worry?

[Cally]

Hope she is feeling better now :)

[Phil]

Oh poor little Pig...I hope she is feeling ok 'in herself' and getting used to her new sedentary mealtimes. Ouch on the inevitable ghastly vets bills.
