Eriathwens piggies

Pearl is home! She's doing really well, she wasnt eating for them voluntarily but was eager to take syringe feeds. Now she is home, she's demolishing a pile of grass, and she had a bit of a pick at some hay.

Slightly frustratingly, the nurse accidentally placed a rabbit with pasteurella into my carrier..but they caught it and stripped the carrier down, disinfected it and are washing the bedding that was inside for me so.. it is what it is, accidents happen!

I'm glad she's home, she seems relieved as well to be surrounded by friends, familiar sounds and smells.

It's been nice out today, I've not had time to get everyone onto the lawn as I was cleaning out but I took Tilly out to feel the grass on her feet, seeing as she is getting on a bit and slowing down.. 5 years she's had me believing she could only go in circles, little cow took off! Luckily she's completely blind and went straight into the side of the veggie beds 😅 so no harm done. Once she realised the grass was everywhere, she settled down to start munching. I havent seen her this active in a long, long time. So hopefully there's plenty of warm dry weather so she can spend lots of time enjoying herself.

Bless her,she looks so much like my late blackie ❤️
 
Shes without her clean up crew at the moment while I make sure she's got her ins and outs working normally, but I made the mistake of putting the mug down that had the critical care in it...Amber and Iris made off with the spoon and I had to tell Oliver if he got his bloody head stuck, I wasn't going with him to the vet! 🤣

Hopefully she can go back in with everyone later when I clean them out, she's doing so well and was eating hay when I checked in on her this morning!

Someone's much happier this evening, so we'll keep her on the increased pain meds. Her poops are back to normal and she's dry, she also had a run when put back after her most recent syringe feed which was nice to see! Seems the vet was correct when she said there was probably spondylosis going on in her spine, so she was probably painful.

Mabel is still slowly gaining, I dont think we'll ever get to a point where she won't need her top up syringe feeds, but she's doing so good! She's at the vet next week as she's getting a bit soggy around the back end so I'd like to have her urine tested to figure out if there's anything going on with that, plus in spite of the ear drops she's still flapping her ears, they're still bothering her. But she's not letting it bother her at all 😃
