CROMWELL UPDATE: Cromwell is doing AWESOME and got a visit from Mom (along with some strawberries and a half-hour belly rub) at UCD Vet Hospital today! The doctor said he was really pleasantly surprised by how well he is progressing, and though healing will be very slow, it is moving in the right direction (swipe to see his precious cast 🥺)! He saw him get up and use on his bad foot twice today which means that the pain meds they have him on and the block on his good toe (to take weight/pressure off the injured one) is working! Unfortunately his IV catheters in his ears stopped working and @_mother_of_chickens got the chance to learned a lot about the challenges of getting catheters to stay functional in these big guys. They are giving him a Fentanyl patch this evening to manage pain. This should last until his next bandage change at which point they can try to reinsert the ear catheters while he’s sedated. He did NOT like the sound of the electric razor to buzz off some hair for the patch, but Dr. Turner was very patient with him. We are so grateful for the doctors, residents, and staff at UCD and for all of you who are cheering him on! As requested by our friends at @imthefunkychicken #teamcromwell shirts coming soon to support the cost of his care! #crommycrom #bestbud #pigstagram #loveoneanother #pigsofinstagram #friendsnotfood #sanctuary #loveoneanother #bekind #veganforhim #rescued #piglovers #pigsaspets #cromwellthemagnificent (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZA1lvRpgE6/?utm_medium=tumblr
