David Pet Lover said:
Hello guys. been ages since I started this thread.
We now at this stage.
Cocoa is off to see a specialist lady vet in Holmes Chapel Wed afternoon 20th.
A big thanks to auntie @VickiA for helping us.
You and i will agree think seems a long time to get Cocoa to see a exotic vet but pls trust me we can't wait as I want our beautiful piggie better. We had to try our local vets as Cocoa is a very poor traveller she just hides but I must say last time @Hoppity.K was with her she was better so after about 10 visits 3 diff vet pratices and tons test here we are.
View attachment 89360you can't belive but her bottom lip is swollen and cracked each side sometimes it bleeds.
Breaks me heart seeing her wobble about for her food.
Be brave Cocoa. xx

Aw bless her. I hope you get some answers on Weenesday. The vet in Holmes Chapel is also my local exotic vet. I thankfully haven't had to go yet but my vet often consults with them xx
 
Thanks all.
I'm afraid that Cocoa is not good. If we wernt taking her wed to vets I would be making a visit asap.
She now has a swollen tummy :hb:

So many things it could be. Kath thinks she thought other day she looked a little bigger.
She's in a specialist 4.20 and get her a MASSIVE mot.
I'm sure she's popping ok and she's active and eatin weight is good.
This piggie will be the end of me. . . what little hair I had has now left. xx
 
Oh poor little Cocoa. Was wondering how she was doing. Hope the vets get to the bottom of everything for you tomorrow. Really want someone to fix your little girl now.

Try to keep those finger nails and what hair you have left David. She really is in the best of hands with you 2.

Good luck to all of you today Dave.
Poor Cocoa deserves a break, and you and Kath simply could have not done more for her.
She really landed on her little paws when she moved in with you!
I hope the specialist finds some answers for you.

Thank you. I hope so also. big hugs
 
It is hard when a much loved piggy isn't well. I feel for you I really do. What you have been going through with Cocoa had been going on for months now. Christian still isn't out of the woods yet and it has only been 3 weeks since his operation. I've had enough and he certainly has had enough of me shoving a syringe in his gob! I know he feels all better now but he isn't quite there yet. I'm just hoping that you can get some answers. It's all very well knowing what it isn't .... You need to know what it is! Sending hugs your way :hug::hug::hug:

Love Cocoa x
 
Good luck at the vet Cocoa
Lots of love from Velvet, Betsy, Christian, Dennis and Meg xx

I’ve gotta come back on Friday to have a anaesthetic so I can have a biopsy on my mouth & X-Ray. Kris is worried I might have cystic ovary problem too.
Also I haven’t pooped all afternoon so I’ve got some Zantac syrup 15mg in case I don’t poop by 8 o clock. Apparently this medicine is gonna taste minty.
The vets was very nice & posh so I don’t mind coming back on Friday if it means more special treats.
Thank you everyone for your kind wishes x
 
Dear Cocoa

I went to see Aunty Rachel (who has now left the vets:soz:) to have a nasty lump removed from my tummy. I felt funny afterwards and the lump wasn't there anymore. My slave had to syringe feed me for a bit but I didn't mind as I liked the taste and it saved me from bothering to eat myself! I was given minty tasting medicine to get my tummy to work properly and then I felt hungry again and started to eat. 3 weeks later I think I am all better again but I am on 3 different medicines and Pro-C. I'm going to see Uncle Mark (not sure about him!:hmm:) on Friday to see if he thinks I'm all better.

I'm sure you'll be fine at the vets. You are only having a small procedure done.

Love from
Christian
