One of the larger hoglets to come in so far, this little lady was brought in earlier, weighing 117g. She was found laying next to her dead sibling that had been ripped apart by some creature or another.
She was dehydrated, hungry and had minor flystrike and some ticks on her. These were removed, and she has taken a 5ml feed.
She is now in an incubator recovering from her ordeal.

Another nursing mother with hoglets collected this morning. They were found while a plant hire yard was being tidied up.
Winston, the hog that came in yesterday with infected puncture wounds (believed to be from dog bites), and covered in flystrike was euthanised last night as the vet felt his wounds were too severe for him to recover from. Bailley, one of the other hogs that came in last night with infected bite marks all around her face is still very poorly in the ICU/recovery unit. The vet cleaned her wounds out last night and gave her antibiotics. It is believed she has been bitten by an Adder.
