3 Hour Train Journey.

Come on Iggy! Be good for your mummy. And be brave. :)

Good luck to both of you. It’s a long day, but you’re doing the right thing for your little piggy, Iggy! :))

Try to relax and enjoy your day out together. :hug:
 
Hope all has gone ok. A couple of my pigs regularly make the trip to Simon with my OH on the train. It is a 10 minute bus, plus at least 40 minutes train ride into London, then underground to Euston followed by the hour train journey to Northampton. Then a bus ride (if not meeting Debbie). Plus the same back again. Both cope well with it, and tend to burrow in their hay and eat their cucumber.
 
Thanks everyone! I think all those good vibes definitely helped :D

He's now having some more tests with Kim (haven't met Simon yet, just Kim so far!) and she's so lovely! I'm anxiously waiting for him to be out of the anaesthetic and ready to pick up (thanks to @furryfriends (TEAS) )! I hope he'll handle going back on the train okay!

Iggy really hated the underground, it never occurred to me how loud it was and he was not a happy bunny. Hopefully he'll be too sleepy to care on the 3 hour train time back :))
 
Glad all is going ok so far. Kim is lovely, hope you get the answers you are looking for.

Poor boy, that reminded me that one of our old pigs Barney used to rumble on the tube as he didn't like it.

Thank you, yes she's a star and determined to get some answers! Music to my ears!

Aw haha I couldn't tell if Iggy was rumbling because it was deafening on the northern line this morning! And considering he's too small for his age I can't see the loud train rumbles being him :))
 
Its such a relief to find a vet as determined as you are to get answers, thats half the battle! Everything crossed they can figure out whats going on and get this sorted, all the best for your journey home :) x
 
Thanks guys :) I'm getting anxious to get my hands on him now haha. I've been browsing round shops to take my mind off things, but without money to spend now :)) Managed to get two little baby blanket things and one's for the ride home as he soiled his snuggle sack considerably! 50p each isn't gunna break the bank considering! :P
 
Iggy is home in one piece, I had put a toy bear in with the girls before I left so it had plenty of scent on it for our return. I think he appreciated it as he snuggled up to it, sniffed it and knew he was home.

Thank you so much to everyone for your support, and to @furryfriends (TEAS) for all your amazing help today, couldn't have done it without you! It was lovely to meet you :) x

I shall update his illness thread in the morning, I've been up almost 20 hours now and I'm in need of my bed! It's been a long day for us both but certainly worth it :)
 
Well done to both of you for coming through such a long day with your sanity intact and all in one piece! :clap:

That’s such a beautiful photo. Lovely little Iggy.

I hope the news from your day is good.

:hug:

How is Iggy today? Any the worse for his long day?

He seems to be alright thanks! He seems a little more nervous when I get him out but I'm sure that will pass! I doubt there will be any ill effects, though I can't see that we'll do it again!
 
Glad to hear Iggy is doing okay! Such a hard day, you must both be so pooped, hope you're getting good rest. X
