Eriathwens piggies

Me too! She had me worried for a minute, none of the others were in that much pain when they got home. So pleased with her now though, and my vet couldn't have done a better job with her incision, it looks fantastic today. Although I do find it quite funny one of her nips is a little higher than the other now 😅

This week is just the gift that keeps on giving! I've an appointment booked Thursday because Pumpkin has a couple of small lumps, I've been waiting for them to get to a size my vet can stick a needle in to see what they are but she has lost a little weight and is stumbling on her front feet occasionally. Not sure if arthritis or she's been injured with Panda and Oliver having a little bit of a falling out causing stampedes. She's on metacam until her appointment.
Then this morning Gus had the mother of all impaction, and seems to be having difficulty with his back legs, again at his age I'm thinking arthritis, again, metacam until I can have him seen.

And then I go do veggies and Misty doesn't want to eat! She has a tender, swollen abdomen and dodgy poo so out she comes, cisipride, emeprid, critical care, little bit of simeticone. She's improving slowly and considering nibbling at food so fingers crossed by morning shes OK again. This isn't her first bloating blip, but I was hoping with her IC under control we had seen the last of it.

Thanks! I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get Panda the implant, try to restore some peace to that group, I do wonder if it's the stress from that which has caused Mistys issues.

Of course with her low pain tolerance, she's milking it for all she's worth and having lots of snuggles 😅

So, unfortunately Misty has passed away. After seeming to be improving last night, she has very quickly crashed and passed away in my arms. She was only at the vet Monday, she was fine.. just getting a cartrophen injection! This has come out of nowhere :( poor girl.

I'm very sorry! Sleep tight, sweet Misty! 💔🌈
 
I’m so sorry you’ve lost Misty. Popcorn high over the bridge gorgeous girl. Take care ❤️
 
Try get some sleep tonight, you did absolutely everything you could of done, as you do for all your little piggies x
 
So Mabel tagged along for Pumpkins appointment as her poops aren't great, nothing obviously wrong looking at her, her teeth are fine which is good so she has another week of cisipride and we'll see how she goes.
Pumpkins lumps were cysts, probably not related to why she's losing weight, we're looking at possible kidney or liver issues, we can do all the diagnostics but won't be able to fix or treat whatever going on, just manage the symptoms which we can do without putting her through the stress of aneasthetics etc
For now she's going to continue to get metacam and I'm going to start her on panacur just in case it's her EC, and we will see how she goes.

I'm collecting Mistys ashes in a few hours, be nice to have her home again 😔

Our little pair of OAPiggies went to the vet just now, Ebony was squeaky while peeing so she got her cartrophen injection a week early, and Gus for his dodgy back legs. Turns out he has arthritis so he's been put on metacam, paracetamol and cartrophen injections same as Ebony. His right knee is awful :/
He showed me how to do Gus' injection while I was there and in a weeks time he has his second one where I will be injecting him under my vets supervisions and from then on, I'll be doing the pair of them at home!

Thankyou, I'm still chopping the wrong amount of veggies 😔 I miss seeing her trying to scale the grids to get food, and standing up on her back legs like a little dinosaur just to say hello. She's left such a big hole.

Luckily everyone else seems to be pretty stable for the most part.
