Eriathwens piggies

What a beauty! All the best on the 15th.
 
Aw Finlay is just the most handsome chap, full of character too. Glad it’s all healing well now x
 
In exactly 8 weeks time it will be 5 years I've had Shelly!

Which of course makes today her 5th birthday. Happy Birthday Shellybean ❤
Being 1/4 cuy which are renowned for reduced lifespans, suffering with Osteodystophy and being brachycephalic I honestly wasn't expecting to still have her at this point, although given how well Leonard fought on with all his issues, I'm hopeful we still have many more years with our little Beanbag.

Happy birthday beautiful Shelley.
Living proof of what such a wonderful slave you have given all your needs.
Hope you get lots of treats today
 
As a birthday treat, I turned all the piggies floors into an edible orchard/woodland carpet with various safe tree and fruit leaves and some dehydrated apple slices, dried hops etc (the piggy room has smelled amazing today!) 🤣 they've had a great time eating and running around.

Here's the birthday girl with her treats 💕

That looks like piggy heaven! Or 5* hotel. Happy birthday beautiful :wub:
 
Wow! Now that’s a birthday treat and a half! Very lucky piggies
 
Our little Thistle has been at the vets today to be spayed, just got the call to say she has woken up and we can collect her at half 3.
Can't wait to get her home, with all her issues I was so worried about her, but as always she's been a little superstar ❤

Shes home in all her glory 🤣 shes a little quiet, didn't eat much at the vet but she's happily munching her way through a pile of grass and her critical care now she's home. Her incision looks good, considering all her excess skin from when she was obese. She's pooping good though and seems OK now she's back on familiar ground.

Welcome home gorgeous :wub: What circumstances did she live in that she became obese? Likely diet played a big part. I’m glad all went well. Keep munching away pretty girl 😊

She's an ex school pet, small housing, wrong diet and never having her nails trimmed leading to deformities on all 4 feet effecting how she walks bless her. She was all wobble and no muscle, she never really regained the muscle but she has lost a lot of the fat.
 
Aw, so good Thistle is home now, hope she makes a speedy recovery x
That funny little tummy, gosh she must have been so chubby 😀
 
She’s so cute.
I’m pleased the spay went so well.
It took Priscilla a couple of days to get over her spay and for her rampant hormones to settle so I’m sure Thistle will be back to normal very soon.
 
Quick little Thistle update, overnight she went downhill, I stepped up the syringe feeding and she seemed to improve a little bit, today she's been up and down but this evening she has really turned a corner, I still plan on getting up every few hours tonight just to really ensure her guts are getting a good supply of food though them but she has been very happily eating hay for a few hours now :) her incision looks great, so hopefully I can catch up on sleep tomorrow and reduce her feeds.
