Casually checking camera footage and thought oh no hog out in the day then realised it's Nathan doing his normal thing (he's blind so wanders about during the day )forgotten a camera was put in today
Sad arrival in today ,Lydia checked on her hibernating hog after discovering a rat hole next to his house ,he has some awful large wounds ,he's cold to touch and seems unconscious as such but his little feet are twitching, I'm a little out of my depth here as I don't know if it's hibernation or shock ,no vet care available today unfortunately apart from pts on arrival, he's had fluids his wounds cleaned and pain relief and antibiotics and in an incubator, off to Anne tomorrow if he survives and if its hibernation hopefully the incubator will gently bring him round ,made him as comfortable as I can 🤞🦔😢camera on him so I can check without disturbing him
Fen had a visitor last night ,never seen one drink before 🐭
Fen has found the feeding station ❤️🦔
Was worried yesterday as there had been no sign of Fen the evening he went into the run but I think he's found his feet 🦔❤️
I think we can safely say a ga and having teeth removed hasn't affected her newly found love of meat ,you go Matilda the more you eat the quicker we can get you out in the garden and feel the earth under your feet ❤️
After today I feel a brighter post is needed ,for someone who wouldn't eat look at Twixmas now 🦔❤️🤞
Today has been an awful day ,Taz was helped over the rainbow Bridge. My beautiful boy came to me in early March as a 4 week old hoglet found circling out on a ladies lawn hence the name Taz .Taz was treated for anything and everything to try to stop this and it was eventually decided he was blind and had neurological problems, no matter what I tried i just couldn't get him over 250 gms ,I'm ashamed to say I let my heart rule my head I just wasn't strong enough to have him pts despite everything he was a lovely comical happy little boy ,in my heart I knew he would never get his freedom, he started going physically down hill and was put into the vivarium and recently had been living in an incubator, the past few days he started to deteriate again and I knew it was his time ,I apologise to ppl at vets as I couldn't stop crying and Anne was amazing and so very kind and I know Taz made his journey over the bridge with the greatest care and love for his final journey. I'm afraid I failed Taz as we are taught release or euthanize if no hope and with hindsight Mum had a reason for throwing Taz out of the nest and I'm hoping I can learn to be a little tougher
Taz you touched my heart fly high and sleep well 💔😢🦔💔
A reminder to please keep feeding ,my little Christmas night visitors🦔♥️
When Bev and Marya very generously gifted the hogs some money and I got cameras to go in all the incubators from Amazon black Friday I wondered if I should have spent the money elsewhere,tonight they proved how they will be worth it ,this video is distressing but I noticed when yesterday's arrival Chelsea was eating I wasn't happy with foot hanging over the bowl ,checking a while later I was shocked to see this footage ,I've immediately started antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers as a small wound on foot and a strong smell of infection, without the camera this may not have been seen for a day or 2 , praying it's infected not broken luckily fen is off to Anne for his feet to be checked so Chelsea will go to ,fingers crossed and prayers needed plz 🦔❤️😢🤞
