Thank you. I’d tried the BHPS phones with no luck earlier, but your reply prompted me to phone the nearest 24 hour veterinary hospital. They seemed very knowledgeable and think it should be OK to keep it here overnight, given that it’s been moving around, has bright eyes and no sign of injury. I’ll monitor it for signs of deterioration and to see if it becomes more active as night approaches. I can drive to the hospital if necessary.
Most of the hogs we’ve seen here lately have been enormous, but we spotted this one a couple of nights ago alongside one of the others. It seemed very healthy then, so I hope it picks up.
