Eriathwens piggies

[Merab]

So glad you got her seen and treated so promptly.
She’s lucky to have such an on the ball slave

 

[Eriathwen]

At this point I think its paranoia rather than being on the ball but whatever works, right? Lol.
The difference in her is amazing in just a few short hours, I really didn't think she would make it when I first called them up, now she's sat in the middle of a hay pile eating of her own accord

 

[VickiA]

Keep on chomping your hay beautiful girl

So Daisy did great until about 9pm, where she blew up like a balloon, was in a great deal of pain, rock hard abdomen and not eating again. So after spending all night rubbing her stomach moving the gas and poops through, feeding her etc we took her back to the vet today. She had improved enough not to need an ultrasound, but if she deteriorates again tonight or isnt a great deal improved we can call back tomorrow and they'll squeeze her in for one. But so far so good, she's managing the 8 hours between doses of her motilty medications now without pain or stopping eating.

Hoping I can get a bit more sleep tonight!

Sending Daisy healing vibes. I hope you get more sleep tonight, looking after sick piggies really takes it out of you.

 

[Eriathwen]

Thankyou! Yeah, just get Leonard comfy and now this, then Pumpkin on Friday to most likely arrange her spay, hopefully after that everyone can just be healthy for 5 minutes poor little things deserve a break too

 

[Bill & Ted]

Fingers crossed for Daisy, hope she is over the worst and on her way to a full recovery x Hope you get a break from poorly little piggies soon

 

[VickiA]

Everything crossed for Daisy x

 

[Merab]

How is Daisy?

 

[Rivervixen]

Healing wheeks for daisy, keep eating little one xx

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been rather stressed and unwell. Daisy is doing really well, she is off the syringe food and eating mostly as normal now that I can see. Both her and Pumpkin have an appointment with our vet today at 4:30. As much improved as she is, I'm concerned she's still quite...docile. She isnt lethargic or anything, she just doesn't get up and run away when I go to pick her up, she actually let's me scoop her up with one hand which is unheard of. Just want to be safe not sorry in case shes still feeling unwell.
Pumpkin has spent the morning absolutely terrorising Pippin, I dont know if the stress from Pumpkins cysts and behaviour is the reason behind Daisys sudden decline or another pig was chased into her causing injury or something totally unrelated. We will have to see. Poor Pumpkin is going out of her mind with the hormones though so I'm hoping my vet has a surgery slot open this upcoming week or I will have to seperate her

 

[Merab]

Hope you’re feeling better now

 

[Eriathwen]

Hope you’re feeling better now

Thankyou, a little fragile feeling but I'm sure it will pass. Once Pumpkins surgery is over, surely nothing else stressful can happen for a while

 

[Bill & Ted]

Aw, thinking of you at the vets, hope all goes well with Daisy and they can sort Pumpkin’s cysts out soon x

 

[Eriathwen]

Thankyou! Just home from the vets, Daisys abdominal pain seems to actually stemming from a painful bladder! She showed no sign other than slightly more pressurised jets of urine, no squeaky wees or anything but apparently its hard as a stone bless her! So she's booked in for xrays on Monday to rule out stones and is on metacam and baytril.
Pumpkin is booked for a spay on Thursday.

 

[Merab]

Hope all goes well for the girls.
Will be thinking of you.

 

[eileen]

i hope all settles down after these ops and treatment are completed.it must be a very anxious time for you.

 

[VickiA]

Oh my word, it must seem never ending at the moment. Thinking of you all.

 

[Eriathwen]

Thanks, yeah its been one thing after another for quite a while now with barely a break in between. They're worth it though, when they're not causing me grey hairs haha!

 

[Piggies&buns]

Sending hugs to you all

 

[Rivervixen]

Big hugs xx

Little Leonards been out watching his fish again, getting weighed and just hanging out while I sort his meds.

Aw, look at them, hope all goes well for their procedures x

 

[Bill & Ted]

Leonard is fascinated by all the fishes, I love watching fishes swimming around too, it’s so relaxing

 

[VickiA]

I find it so sweet that Leonard watches the fish. So cute.

 

[Eriathwen]

Dropped Daisy off for her xrays and potential surgery, judging by her behaviour it wouldn't suprise me if there were stones to be honest, but fingers crossed not.
I managed to capture the moment Leonard realised the mesication he was being given wasn't the one he likes hes such a funny little thing. Luckily he's forgiven me!

 

[Eriathwen]

Its lovely how interested he is in them, ive tried showing some of the others and they couldn't care less lol!

 

[Eriathwen]

Daisys home no stones! So thats a relief, she was apparently very well behaved except for the actual xray which doesn't suprise me, shes a right drama queen when she wants to be. So hopefully once she's finished her baytril she will be back to normal.

 

[Merab]

Glad to hear this news about Daisy.
These piggies do like to keep us on our toes

 

[Eriathwen]

Just dropped little Pumpkin off for her spay, so fingers crossed for her. Also, my friend shared this meme on Facebook last night and it has been making me laugh pretty solidly ever since theres been quite a few times ive said this over the last few weeks!
