A Picture A Day..

Wheeky Birthday Fudge! I hope your tummy gets better soon; we don't know how we'd manage without treats. Also did your mum REALLY think you were a neck:yikes: humans are odd, ours sometimes call us things like furry avocados. Just because we're a BIT chubby! Crossing paws for you xox
 
"I still only want my bottle if mum holds it for me. I just had some pellets and .. Wait for it... 160 sips of water! I was super thirsty, she should've offered me it sooner.. I can't be bothered to use it in my cage!"

"Just back from the vets.. My body was rejecting some sutures and made a scab that I pulled off.. Along with the suture! It was the bottom one so the nasty vet had to glue it shut! It's okay though, iv got veggies now I'm home!"

What a shapely pair of pins!


Those poos look rather small (my boys' ones are huuuge though). Is her digestive system getting back to normal?

Yes, she was in gut stasis for a couple days then diarrohea for a week.. Those poos may be smaller but are a massive improvement to what they where and are coming regularly! Fibre plex and probiotics are on hand too which helps
 
I have changed phones and it doesn't seem to let me upload photos to the forum!

Will try a link instead!

Fudge is doing really well, in so pleased. When she had her first day of being fully independant with eating and drinking she was 920g. This morning before her breakfast she was 957g.. Its not a massive amount but the vet said I couldn't expect weigh gain in an 8 year old pig and maintenance would be the most realistic aim... But its fudge :-)

"Me and crunchie waited patiently whilst mum changed our beds.. then I had a wander about and had some fresh water too! I'm feeling much stronger and gaining a little weight all by myself. Mum said I can join in on floor time tonight! "

"I haven't been very well again.. and neither has crunchie! Mum has been looking after us and taking us to the vet to make sure we try and keep on top of anything as me and my sister are very old! I have lost all the weight I gained back as my bladder is sore, and the same with crunchie. We are both back on Septrin and I'm now on cystease just like my sister. We have lots of crystals in our urine so mum took away our Harrington's and put us back on expensive pellets that are better for our bladders. . But it made me go downhill fast! Because I like to drink a lot when I eat pellets, I stopped drinking altogether when mum took them away. In 24 hours I became dehydrated, my bladder got sore as my wee was very concentrated, I went off my veggies because dehydration made me feel rubbish.. and my metacam gave me a sore tummy as my tummy didn't have enough food in it.. so mum had to lower that in case it damaged my tummy.. so then my arthritis got worse! All because mum took away my pellets. Of course she gave me them back and said we need to get back on track before trying something else for my bladder. I'm slowly feeling better again and have started eating all my veggies again too. Mum said we are very difficult piggies to look after! "

Oh - poor Fudge - and Crunchie - I hope you're beginning to feel a bit better .
 
Aw you little cutie pies. Thank goodness you have such a loving and devoted mummy. Get well soon xx
 
Aghhh! It's a rollercoaster! I've been wondering about Fudge recently. Hope you're all ok
 
Big hugs to you all! Stop making your mummy worry girls, give her a break and get better please sweeties!
 
Fudge seemed to be doing better with her pellets back but has suddenly dropped weight and is at an all time low of 890g today :-( she managed to get up to 980g with no assisted feeding about 3 weeks post op, her normal weight is usually 1020g so I'm quite concerned. Literally the only thing that's different at the moment 's she's on septrin (has been numerous times before) and been on cystease for a week. I dont see why Septrin would just be a problem now and not sure why cystease would make her lose weight but it's the only things that's changed. Still.blood on urine dipstick despite being day 7 of antibiotics so that could be related too.

Feeling quite worried at work today. She has the vets at 6.15 x
