The little porker!!

The baby is weighing in at over 9 ounces now (just over 1/2 a
pound)!! He is on antibiotics... (kind of a preventative thing)...
his front and back right legs are slightly injured (we think from a
fall that occurred (off a table) before we got him). The vet says
that there is nothing we can really do to treat it at his age (and
such tiny size)... so he is on bed rest. Good thing all he does right
now is eat, sleep, pee and poop!! I had to include the second
picture... b/c it cracks me up. He is so funny... his yellow fleece
is his security blanket and if you lift him off of it...he screams
bloody murder. He also screams when you are rubbing his little willy
to make him tinkle and poo... ahhh, the joys of motherhood! but... at
two and a half weeks, he is almost through with the first round of
teething. He should start getting a little more mobile in the next
two weeks... at that time, the vets will better be able to assess his
injuries. The vet said that the plus with having injuries this young,
is that they tend to heal pretty quickly b/c of all the growing and
such going on. it is just a matter of whether the legs heal normally
(the front one is a little crooked right now... almost looks like he
has a little bunion on his wrist).
