end of life care

I hope it’s ok if I skip the usual care rundown since he’s terminal and I’ve done everything I can, I have been struggling so horribly with this because my grandma is also dying and one of our dogs has cancer as well. Going to start by saying Pumba is 7 1/2 years old and had a massive bladder...

I’m sorry I’ve posted a thread kind of about this about milk thistle. The last week, my last remaining girl randomly puffed up and had soft poops. Took her to er and found nothing out. She’s been on metoclopromide and meloxicam. Her diarrhea got worse and I seen metoclopromide could make poops...

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since i posted here but Nox has been having some recent troubles so here goes... Nox is almost 6 and a half and I am so grateful hes lasted this long. He’s always been a very chunky, sassy old man. However, recently he’s lost around 300 grams. (He was previously...

This is a hard post to write ... Squeaks is suddenly but clearly declining, I don't want him to suffer but he doesn't seem ready to go ... The oral thrush that so nearly killed him Wet chin is cleared up, I noticed yesterday that the bubbly breathing that came with it has stopped too. But...

Evening all, Just thought I’d make a post here as I’m feeling really low tonight. We first had a piggie with lymphoma last year. He was almost 6 years old and we’d had him since he was 7 months. He passed around 6 weeks after diagnosis, but he was happy and eating until the very end, and...

One of my older pigs (about six and a half y/o) is having trouble walking and refuses to eat. I already have an appointment for the vet in three hours, but I’ve had older pigs pass before and I’m not hopeful that this is any different, especially because she’s always had some medical problems. I...

A few days ago, one of our pigs, buttons, died due to old age. A peaceful death in her sleep. Our remaining pig, doughnuts, has been moved to another cage because we feared that if we put her back in the old one without her sister, she might give up. I know a lot of people say to get another...

My sweet lokie-dokie is almost 8 years old. Life has changed so much for him this past year. He's totally deaf and almost blind. He sleeps a lot. He has really bad arthritis so he only hops around to get food and to move from one side of the cage to the other depending on the time of day. But...

Hey all, I am new to this forum but this seemed like a good place to join. My 3.7 yo male skinny Truffle is sadly in heart failure I believe. He was diagnosed with an enlarged heart a year ago and has been on Pimodenan twice a day for the past year. Periods of wheezing and hooting would...
