It's 3 months since I was posting on here about Cookie's dental issues. After 2 local procedures that caused more issues than they fixed, 2 weeks of keeping Cookie alive with constant syringe feeds and so much upset and stress, with the help of wonderful Debbie from TEAS, we got him to Northampton. Debbie took over with the syringe feeds until his appointment with Simon at The Cat and Rabbit Clinic. After 3 months with Debbie during which time he's had several procedures, an infection in his gum diagnosed and treated and a loose bottom incisor removed, he's home and reunited with Teddie. I wasn't sure this day would ever come. We weren't sure if he would have to stay at TEAS permanently, but Debbie and Simon are confident he is sorted. Of course I'll need to keep my eye on him, but he's keeping his teeth down well by himself, and it looks like the infection (which went undiagnosed locally) was the cause of all the following issues. It's been a long and expensive journey, but soooooo worth it. If only all vets had the skill and knowledge that Simon has this would have been a much easier and less expensive journey. But there was no way we were giving up on him and he's back where he belongs. Will be forever grateful to Debbie for enabling this ❤️❤️❤️

So happy to hear that Cookie is back home and in good form! Hopefully that will be the end of his major issues. You must be so happy and relieved 😍
 
I’m so pleased to hear this. That’s brilliant news. So pleased Cookie is back home with you and Teddy. It’s given me renewed hope that my Pepper can get through his abscess surgery. We also have been to Cat and Rabbit. Can’t praise them high enough. All vets should be able to provide this level of care.
 
Do you know, it seems there are so many threads I see on here where people are chasing down a persistent dental issue for ages only to find some sort of gum infection at the bottom of it. Is it my imagination I wonder. Big abscesses are awful but at least they can be seen and felt. How many underlying infections are being missed? But ultimately it's great news for Cookie and big 'Well Dones' to everyone involved 💕
And brave Pepper - all our thought and prayers are with you x

Debbie did all the visits for me but I am super thankful for Simon and his skill. I have been left astounded by the general lack of expertise for guineapigs amongst vets...... Good luck to Pepper ❤️ X

A long but ultimately worthwhile journey with e pert help along the way ❤️
 
I love getting results like this! This is exactly why I do what I do! I'm going to miss the little guy, but seeing him head home was the best feeling ever! xx
You are just brilliant Debbie. So kind. I really appreciated all the updates and videos in those early days when Cookie was EATING by himself again. Your care and dedication is amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️
