Hi Friends. Unfortunately, the worst has happened for my sweet Oliver pig and his companions. They were viciously attacked by what we think was a loose dog or dogs while in their barn. Oliver suffered significant wounds, including deep, 2-inch puncture wounds from bites around his head and neck, a shredded ear, and a large laceration in his flank that went through several layers of muscle. He underwent surgery at New Bolton Medical Center this morning to assess, clean, and dress his wounds. Thankfully, his prognosis is currently good, but his recovery will be long and arduous. He is expected to stay in the hospital for the next week before returning to Montgomery County with me, so I can continue providing him close care and support.
The cost of his hospital stay is expected to be $3k, not including the emergency vet care received before I transported him to the hospital.
Unfortunately, I was not financially prepared for this expense and am having to get creative to cover the costs of his vet bills.
While I am committed to providing the best care I possibly can for Oliver,
I am humbly asking for extra support from his friends and following who have also known and loved him. Any amount and support is so appreciated by me and Oliver.
