This is little Juno who i found today (or she found me), she is very poorly.

Just got a tiny green faecal sample from Juno, put it under the microscope and it confirmed this poor little girl is chock full of lungworm larvae, she has just had another shot of antibiotic but her breathing is dreadful, it not looking good.

Juno has also had a lucky escape from a strimmer, patch of spines sheared off just above skin, this poor little one has not had a good start in life :_(

She is very gorgous Debbie, it's heartbreaking watching her sucking in air, if she can just hang on a few more hours then the meds may get to do their work.

Don't think Juno is going to make it, her breathing is getting worse, her sides are pumping like bellows

Update on Juno, she made it through the night, her breathing is no better but its no worse, she has had more meds and fluids, she can't eat or drink as all her energy is going into breathing,this poor hog has been suffering this while trying to survive out in the cold weather in the wild and she still only about 4 months old.
