Thank you, they basically said if I hear nothing then assume she's either the same or improved, if I do hear something it's because they've had to change treatment or something has declined.I hope you get some news soon. It’s awful waiting for news. Sending healing vibes.
Thank you, I think they are I just hope there's an exotics vet on through the night as that's what she's had during the day.
I really hope having some of her own stuff will help to make them both feel a little more at home
. They're both quite nervy pigs too so I'm hoping they're not feeling too frightened. They've got a separate ward for small furries so it should be quiet for them. Thank you for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate yours and everyone else's messages. It's helping at a really nerve-wracking time 
Hi, so the vets called this morning and said she wouldn't be coming home today as they weren't happy to release her just yet but they did say she was stable. She is still in pain in her abdomen which seems to be more to the right hand side and they're treating her with cotrimox as it's a suspected infection. Bloods still not back yet. Thisafternoon she has improved and she has been eating unaided but they're continuing to syringe feed her too. This morning her wee was still very orange but the vet said she thought this had improved a little by thisafternoon. Vet has recommended she stays there until these bloods are back so that they have a better idea re what we're dealing with, and so that I don't bring her home just to have to readmit her. I'm missing them so much now! X
Thank you for asking, I really appreciate it x
Hope you have her home soon and hope insurance pay out, they should do if it's not a preexisting condition, there might be an excess. Sometimes we never find out what's wrong.
Thanks, I just want them both home now! I'm starting to fret that when I do get them home any temp change or humidity change is going to stress them further but I need to stop! Just had a text from the inpatient nurse and she's had another good night, very bright and eating well, xrays have been done and reviewed today and they said to just wait for the vet to call with the results. I'm going to ask if I can come and collect themReally pleased to hear that she's well in herself now and no longer in all that pain
. Yes there's an excess, I'm just aware we've made quite a few claims and they've always been really great so I hope that continues to be the case!
Thanls for your reply, yes I can't wait to have them home and hopefully to have a better idea of why she's been so poorly
. I don't know what to do, she goes between looking OK to hunched with her fur on end and she's very bony. I'm worried I'm going to lose her and she's only 8 months old. Please see attached the pics of her wee from thisafternoon since I've had her home, it comes out of her this colour.
I don't know at all, I'd phone the vet first thing tomorrow and say all that.
Hi, so she's had all 4 meds this morning, when I went to them this morning she was up and about but there is bright orange wee everywhere. I double checked this late last night and it comes out highlighter pen fluorescent yellow then turns the orange within seconds. She's very tender in her abdomen, I've rebooked her in with an exotics vet on Wednesday next week as that's the soonest I can get her in. I'm hoping she's OK today- I've taken all week off work this week so I've had to work today and don't finish until late
. Any idea what bright yellow colour changing pee and a hard sore abdomen might mean?! She's definitely pooping, some normal some not. She's also a little bit bristly looking too which tells me she's uncomfortable.
Thanks, I've just got in and she is sat really puffed up but chomping away on her hay and her pellets and drinking away quite merrily. I got a screech when I walked over too. Somethings going on but I don't know what...... Her bloods were normal, her stitches on both sides have healed beautifully and don't look painful. I'll have a look at sausage link poops thank you.
So I've booked her in with an exotics vet at a different practice hut I think it is one of the vets who looked after her during the week at the hospital as they switch around the area. She's been seen over the course of this week by at least 3 different exotics vets, I've just been to see her this morning and she's all puffed up but is stuffing her face and there are some normal poops in the cage which I haven't seen in a long time. They're definitely hers as they're much longer than the other piggy. She may have some poop soup thisafternoon from the other one as its worth a try at this point right?!
Her vets appointment is weds at 9am, obviously if she deteriorates before then I'll take her back in but getting hold of an exotics vet for consult is a mission at the moment. She will then have to stay in the office with me all day thereafter so I'll be bringing her floor playpen and hoping they don't scream at me whilst I'm on video calls
Hope this appt can help to give you some answers. I’ve seen funny coloured urine before but it’s been when they’ve been on meds etc, really hope this new vet has some ideas.
