Hi Lucky dog
The worry about the hog is not so much it’s weight, as such, as that it was out during the day, which is often a sign something is amiss. I would try to contact your nearest carer/s (you can get contact details from BHPS on 01584 890801) explain things to them and hopefully get the little hog checked out.
If you are keeping the hog in, don’t forget to provide water as well as food (hopefully you already are) – really important – the hog may be dehydrated. You will probably need to keep the hog in for the night now, if someone is going to check it over, so shredded newspaper or a small towel is useful for them to burrow under.
Good luck. Hope all goes well.
