She seems to be over the worst of it thankfully. Still not 100% but definately breathing easier, good appetite etc- i thought this was going to be the beginning of the end so to speak.. It seemed to get bad very quickly whereas normally i can nip it in the bud long before it gets to that stage. Shes been mostly stable for a couple months now, hopefully was just a blip ...
"I'm feeling lots better this evening. Mum has upped my other diuretic from 16 hourly to 12 hourly. I'm breathing easy again and had lots and lots of poos earlier and mum seemed pleased. She said more meds isnt good on my kidneys but my breathing comes first. I ate all my veggies then had cuddles. Mum says i always bounce back!"
" i saw my lovely vet today , although she always feels under my chin when i get checkd over and i really dont like that! She said my lungs arent fluidy anymore and my heart sounds strong- mum was pleased. She said i am the miracle piggy as i am beating the odds with my heart and even my kidneys from all those diuretics for 7 months! Iv to stay on the 12 hourly spironolactone for a few days and then drop down to 16 again. If i get bad again mums to keep it at 12 hour doses. I like the vet other than the chin touching!"
Oh I'm so glad that you're feeling better. You're such a little fighter and so is your Mum!
Sorry about the chin touching. I haven't heard of another guinea pig who is especially touchy about their chins. Is it just the vet, or don't you like anyone else messing with your chin?
No one is allowed its a no go zone for fudge! Behind the ears is her soft spot! She screams blue murder when i dry her chin after her dioralyte veggies.. Always been the same!
"I only sleep stretched out when I'm relaxed, and i can only relax when i can breathe easy.. Havent lay like this since getting poorly on and off lately- I'm feeling good! Just chilling with my nice healthy poos and a wee chooken in the background!"
Love that you are feeling so much better; you had us a teensy bit worried! Very ladylike sleeping position. Even the poos can be forgiven as they are a sign of health xx
