The sadness continues please only go to the picture in the comments if you really want to see. This is the type of things as a rescue i and other rescues have to deal with.
Last night I got a call about a 400 gram hog damage to the eye and mouth. The lady had tried other places but it wasn't possible to get help. I at first said no im full let me give you other numbers but when she said it was injured I said yes.
It wasn't until several hours later after the hog had warmed up that I could see the problems.
The poor thing had lost its lips on one side of its mouth and also its eye and surrounding area on the same side.
This was not a new injury and the poor hog had gone quite a while surviving like he was.
The finder said he was eating when she got him.
I had left some water and mousse in the cage with him and when i watched him eat he walked around and around the bowl eating the best way he could.
Not sure if their was other damage maybe to the nose. But I knew their was only one outcome. I gave him pain relief.
So i took him to the vets today to be pts. 😪
But no sooner as im leaving the vets i get a call from just two minutes up the road. So I head their.
The sight I see was so sad. Adult male cold covered in fly strike in its mouth, ears, eyes, nose and all round its skirt. Some just hatching in the eyes. It was strugging to breath and something was wrong with its mouth. My heart broke seeing that. So on to the vets again and go straight their for another pts.
Please no more deaths I need a break.
