Eriathwens piggies

Thankyou both! He's been doing so well on the Cystease, i've not heard any noise from him for a few days now. I've got everything crossed we've finally got to the bottom of what the problem is :)
 
I just tried my lot with sprouts - you’d think I was trying to poison them!
Jemimah, who like them last year, decided she doesn’t this year because Phoebe and Priscilla don’t like them.
I had to eat them all.

Lovely photos of your piggies as always. Glad Leonard is doing better.
 
They're funny little things arent they XD so fickle! Thankyou, Leonard is continuing to do well, he had been turning his nose up at a lot of veg for a while now but he seems to be coming back round to the idea...helped by the basil I got reduced, I think.

Ebony and Bramble almost had a bit of a domestic over their basil...but I dont think theres any hard feelings :roll:

I'm so pleased with this chunky boy today, he's done loads of good wees and is still gaining weight, I'm hoping that means he's feeling better and we are successfully increasing his bone density. This is the most he has weighed in months..Still a way off the 1300g he was in his prime but plenty of time to get there, although with sore joints I don't want him to get too heavy!

The squeaking while peeing has returned with Bramble and Ebony. They've got metacam and a week of Sulfatrim each. Bramble is passing blood so if no improvement soon she will be having xrays to rule out stones.

Of course as soon as I got Ebony out to do her meds...Niagara falls opened XD:td: it's a good job I love her!

Ebony seems to be improving. Unfortunately Bramble now has an upset stomach. The vet thinks both metacam and Sulfatrim at the same time may be too much for her so we're holding off on the metacam for today and will see how she is in the morning. She's got probiotics and critical care as needed and lots of fluids. She was very miserable in the cage, head stuck in the corner so I've wrapped her up and got her tucked under my arm for the foreseeable future. Managed to get her eating some hay too so fingers crossed for solid poops! She is still passing blood, which concerns me but she's perked up no end being out and about.

I went out to collect some grass, to see if I could tempt her to eat more on her own..definitely seems to have done the trick. She isnt stuck in the corner anymore anyway.

Unfortunately Bramble has not been doing well. The pain appears to have kicked off her e.cuniculi and she's dealing with some nerve damage on the left side of her face again, which is making eating difficult as well as swallowing her critical care. I'm up every hour or so to dry her off as she is urinating all over herself..She's also passed some soft calcium lumps but since then she has perked up no end.

Her weight has also dropped due to difficulty swallowing but that can only improve with time. Nothing we haven't done before.

She's cooperating so well with everything I need to get done with her and she toddled over a little while ago to take a nap on my foot. She could really do with some good vibes bless her, she's going back to the vets tomorrow to see what they can do for her, potentially get some xrays done etc.

She's gone..We lost her between her 6am and 8am feeds. I don't know what to do.. it's her birthday tomorrow. She was supposed to get better

I only just read your last post and have just seen this one. :( Poor Bramble and poor you! Your piggies are the most cared for in the world, so please take comfort in knowing she had the loveliest life. Sending you lots of hugs. Xxxxxxx
 
I’m so sorry to hear that, I was just reading the rest of your posts and was going to post my healing wheeks... Then I read your last one 😔
Sending lots of hugs x
 
I am so sorry you must be so devastated, she was such a fighter and you did amazingly with her. Sending you hugs, the forum has lost a favourite, she was certainly one of mine. X
RIP sweet Miss Bramble.
 
I am so very very sorry.
Miss Bramble was such a special girl.
I will miss her appearances on the forum.
You did a fantastic job in caring for her with all her health issues.
She was a lucky girl to live with you.
Be gentle and patient with yourself. Grief isn’t easy.
Holding you in my heart
