A Picture A Day..

"I am going to the vets tomorrow or tuesday for a wee check since i restarted my vetmedin. I have been feeling good and not poorly like last time. Mum says i might get an xray to check my chest, as i am breathing clearly but faster than usual, so she isnt sure if she can give me less frusemide or not. I like frusemide, it tastes yummy i think! I have been enjoying floor time with my sisters so mum has put our cages together for daytime and will seperate at night time so i can rest. Mum had to buy more drawers so she could stand our cages together. I popcorned lots and lots and lots! "

" Mum was feeling a bit rubbish today so we stayed at home. I am going for my check up tomorrow- i havent took a reaction to my vetmedin this time but my breathing isnt massively better. I am still happy, eating and even another wee popcorn earlier too. Mallow is coming to the vets tomorrow too, and mum gave her some septrin earlier as she has a stuffy nose. I watched mallow sook the syringe like a straw! I had cuddles with mum last night then a play with my sisters today- i was knackered! "

Good to see that you are able to play with your sisters for a while Fudge.

Also you look so cute cuddling up and then having a wee nap.

Looks like you will have to help Mummy take care of Mallow as well.
 
"Mum couldnt take me to the vet with Mallow today as she only has one carrier and Mallow was sneezing- i dont want her yukky germs! Mum told the vet all about my medicine, and they said mum knows how to look after me so i dont need to see them just yet. I havent saw my sisters today as mum says she doesnt want me getting more poorly. I dont understand why Crunchie can stay with Mallow and i cant, but i guess its okay as i get extra cuddles from mum!

"I've just had my last meds and my veg/dioralyte afterwards. Mum is going out to town on saturday night for her partners birthday (mummy 2 we call her, the person mum loves most- after me ofcourse). She wont be home for my usual time for last meds at 12am, so mum is giving me my medicine 10 mins late each time so it will be due later by saturday night (she likes to give me them on the dot usually!) She promises she will be home before my meds are due, as i am the most important! I'm away back to bed to shout at my sisters for using MY things in MY cage.. Even though i like to use their side now we are together! Night all! Xx"

Oh wee Fudge. Now no fighting with your sisters. Remember it is important to share. :nod:
That is a gorgeous close up picture of you as always. I guess that is your midnight snack :yikes::lol!: Such a lucky girl to have such a good Mummy to spoil you :nod:

She eats this 3 times a day, mainly lettuces/cucumber/pepper/babycornwith either celery/tomato/pear/apple/spinach/chard added in on different days to mix it up a bit! Its to keep her hydrated and to get the dioralyte into her whilst shes on frusemide to try and protect her kidneys :) then the girls need a small bowl of ANYTHING or else the scream the place down.. Meanwhile i have no free hands to carry myself a snack upstairs!
 
"My sisters and i had some some dandelion and nettle forage on mums bed whilst she cleaned our cages. We sat on a blanket and a puppy pad.. I have been extra hungry lately so mum has been givin me more veg, but it makes me pee lots and even though mum wakes me up to have a pee before she brings me out for my meds, i have had a couple of accidents on mums jeans yesterday.. Its taking longer to give my meds too as ive been feelng good and putting up a fight!"

Please send healing vibes for Fudge :( she was very flat this morning, congested, bloated and unwilling to ear very much or drink at all. I gave her her diuretics, some gripe water for the bloat and massaged her tummy. She would only take 0.5ml gripe water willingly, so i was giving her that every hour. 5 hours later amd she is brighter, ate some hay and took a very long drink. I am keeping my fingers crossed, but i got such a fright. Currently waiting on call back from the vet to discuss her meds. Her tummy gotten gassy every other day since restarting the vetmedin, and she has been slightly quieter, but her breathing improved. So i have no idea what to do :(
 
Poor angel. I hope the vet can come up with a solution. My Nigel didn't respond well to Vetmedin either. I wonder if dropping the Vetmedin but increasing the Benazapril is an option. An old friend used to have her pig on a really high dose and he thrived for a few years.

Oh Fudge I have been thinking about you as your Mummy had not posted a picture for me to get my my normal dose of Fudgey gorgeousness.

I figured your Mummy was busy at work and sorting you girls out so it is nice to see you all together but not so great that you are not feeling well.

I hope Mummy has spoken to the vet and had them possibly speak to Auntie Laura about you if they are not sure what to do. I will PM her to see how you are going now petal.

Well for fudges evenin meds/veg, she ate half of her veg and dioralyte then refused anymore. I rinsed remaining veg with water and she ate some more. Her tummy was still a little gurgly but didnt feel anywhere near as bloated. She was still quiet and looked uncomfortable, although not as bad, so we saw the vet at 5.20pm. She gave fudge a thorough check, temp was normal, no masses/knots/thickening in her guts that she could feel- but she was uncomfortable in her abdomen. She thinks it could possibly be the vetmedin, and as she isnt responding to it anyway, we have to stop it. Iv basically to continue as I'm doing , shes definately improved since this morning but still not right. I gave her some zantac when we got home and shes currently laying down more comfortably and not hunched. Bet was reluctant to use loxicom incase it upset her tummy further. Her heart and lungs sound good so thats a plus. Hopefully once shes off the vetmedin a couple of days, she will bounce back. Shes my precious girl and coped so well since her diagnosis- she hasnt given up yet x
