Sadly, once a hog has been in a dog’s mouth, it’s quite likely that it will have a skin puncture somewhere – not always easy to see. – So if something similar happens to anyone else, it’s probably a good idea to get any hog which has been in a dog’s mouth, checked over by an expert in the hope that it doesn’t go on to develop an infection.
But yes, hogs could easily get upstairs, once they were in a house. Also re. the poos. Whilst feeding areas have a reputation for having loads of hog poos around, if a hog is there alone, it may not necessarily poo there at all. So they are not all constantly pooing! But also if the hog got into the house in the evening/early night, which seems most likely, it may not have eaten since the previous night.
Still, somewhat disconcerting waking up to unexpected noises in the middle of the night! Not the best experience for a good night’s sleep, even if a relief to see it was only a hog!
