No all they did was xrays on Monday and 2 urine tests last Friday and Monday gone. Just rang to ask about non-abrasive bladder flush and to mention about strange noise however, vet was not on site. This is a horrible nightmare x

Do you have a 24 hour clinic for overnight if needed? My sweet girl has just been diagnosed with a bladder stone and is poorly. I am in the same situation and know just how hard it is. They really break our hearts sometimes don’t they. If you think the noise is her having problems with breathing I would take her back
 
My usual vet closes at 7 and is 30 minutes away and their overnight emergency is 50 miles away. I don't think she is struggling to breathe but if she does struggle, the only solution is to rush her to another vet, whoever will take her. For some reason some vets won't take animals from another practice. If worst comes to worst, I'll have to say goodbye and I'm not ready. My hearts breaking x

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear you are going through the same situation. It really is hard! I know our hearts aren't built for the times of sorrow. I hope your piggie is OK x
 
Just pulled this out of Heidi's bottom. Not sure what it could be....I did have new carpet fitted recently, I'm wondering whether it could be a loose thread she has ingested. My minds going into overdrive because of how poorly she is x

You’d have to see that it felt to see if it actually is a thread.
When you see Poops joined together like that is often mucus and a sign of digestive issues
 
Yer I felt it and isn't carpet thread. Has a gooey stringy consistency. That's the first poop she's had like that, I wonder if it's cos she's not eating her usual diet, just critical care x
 
Hi all, me and partner been up all night again monitoring Heidi. I'm afraid she still hasn't eaten/drank on her own and is even more lethargic and in pain. We have fed her critical care round the clock, as well as syringe water and have even blended all her favourite veggies and syringed them too. She still hasn't pooed and has only urinated little amounts however, partner managed to squeeze some out as she was very full. She is also struggling to walk, really weak and is trying to hop. I Was hoping she would improve but I just dont know what to do. I'm in tears x20221015_055552.webp20221015_055306.webp
 
Just seen this. I am so so sorry for your loss . I know you tried your very best to help her. 💔
 
I’m so sorry Heidi couldn’t pull through. Sometimes the call to the bridge is just too strong. You did absolutely everything you could. She passed with your love and care all around her. Take care ❤️
 
I’m so sorry you lost her, poor little Heidi :( Sending you lots of hugs, hope you’re ok xx
 
I’m so sorry that little Heidi has passed away. You did everything you could for her. Big hugs.
 
Sorry to hear that Heidi crossed the rainbow bridge. She was well loved and cared for. :hug:
 
Hi everyone, we have been snuggling with Heidi until crematorium picked her up just a moment a go. Found it so hard to let her go, our second Rainbow Bridge piggie in just 6 weeks.

Heidi began severely deteriorating around 6 o'clock this morning. She became very lethargic and failed to eat, drink and go to toilet herself. She even refused anymore critical care and went downhill.

Me and my partner cuddled her and told her if she felt it was time to go then to go and not to worry about us or her piggie pals.
She lost the use of her legs and became so limp by 6.30ish before having a seizure and struggling to breathe, I fear she may have had a stroke 😭.

We were gonna rush her to emergency vet but feared we would lose her on the way so made the decision to make her as comfortable as possible and held her till the end. She put up such a fight, what a strong girl she was, we were proud piggie parents to have such a strong baby. She passed at 7.25 this morning after nearly an hour of battle.

Once again, the experience was heartbreaking and now wish we had made the decision to put her to sleep yesterday to save her from the pain. Our hearts are shattered. We want to thank every one of you for your vital support during Heidi's time of illness, you really were our rock through this terrible time
 
If you had made the decision to help Heidi over the bridge yesterday you would now be thinking maybe we should of given her another day. There is no right or wrong in these cases. You made all of your decisions based on vet advice and your own feelings. That’s all any of us can do in these situations. Take care ❤️
 
So so sorry to hear this. Sending lots of hugs ❤️❤️
 
Oh @sarahloo89 I'm so sorry to hear your news. I've been off-forum for a few days as George was struggling too so I'm only just catching up.
When they are right at the end they can look like they are fitting which is upsetting to see, but I've read on here that by this point they are not aware of what is happening. You gave Heidi such wonderful care - just sometimes we can't win the battle. Take care of yourselves and your furry family, and again I'm so sorry x

It was devastating to watch, my heart feels like I've been stabbed with a thousand knives. I hope she didn't know what was happening. I feel like I've failed her, I hate myself for it. I hope George is OK, hate the thought of George being unwell. Our poor babies x
 
I was crying in the vets on Friday waiting for pts but miraculously he turned it around. I don't know how or why - neither did vet. He's acting more like himself again though I think it'll be a rollercoaster for both of us for the rest of his life - however short or long that turns out to be. His big stone may be the end of him or it may be that apart from painful peeing it will be something else. Heidi is at peace now and without pain. We can only do our best 💕

He's obviously a strong boy. I am so happy he is doing better and sounds well. Yes all we can do is our best but it's still so hard x
