I had Duke's toofies trimmed as per usual last thursday...... by wednesday of this week he was not eating properly not eating his cauli, corn, apple, canteloupe, carrot.... only really looking at his leafies which as you know means he gets a mucky butt :( :( :( he's barely touched his pellets either and he loves his Oxbow pellets :'( :'( :'( :'(

I phoned vets today and said i could just manage over the weekend if necessary, knowing they're always busy on friday's and saturday's, Tamara kindly said well if you're at all concerned come in anyways on saturday :smitten: I've got an appointment for first thing monday anyways O0 I'll assess him tomorrow morning again and then call them up and let them know O0
What concerns me is it will only be 9 days tomorrow (saturday) since his last anaes for his toofie trim :( i'm just hoping this is not too close together in timing..... i hate the fact they use the anaes but OZ vets have not been shown or taught how to do the wonders of toofie trim with out it... i sooooo wish one of your wonderful vets and rodentologists would come out here for a conference i know my vet would be there O0

so cross all paws i can get him back to eating again, he's lost weight and is also not terribly interested, he will eat tho if i shove it in his mouth... bless him he is sooo good :smitten: he's my precious little man and i'm worried :'( sorry just need a shoulder tonight i hate seeing him like this it brings back terrible memories :'( and now that he's over 6 it's getting harder to deal with ...
 
My thought are with you and Duke. I understand too well the problems encountered with teeth, my beloved Captain had many issues with them.

Come on Duke, we're all thinking of you here in Bonny Scotland. :smitten:

We're going to vets on thursday this will be one week earlier than normal :'(
He's lost more weight.......... as i was at work yesterday i decided not to take him to vets and then not be able to be with him :(
Because of his age i'll only leave him for awhile as i constantly check on him and also syringe feed and see if he's in pain, also lots of hand feeds to keep him going on the day O0
I've no idea why it's not worked this time, i'm upset for him he is such a little trier... this is another set back :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
Because he's not eating enough pellets or the firmer foods he's a bit pooey and to his horror yesterday i gave him a mini bath on the butt area oh boy he was NOT impressed :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: ;D ;D ;D ;D i soothed him with treats afterwards tho :smitten:
Thanks for all your kind words, loads of loves from us both :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Hi Glynis.....I am so, so sorry that Duke is not well. I haven't been on the forum for a while and if Mary (Choloe) didn't PM me about it, I wouldn't have known. I sincerely hope Duke is feeling better. I know you said he goes to the vet on Thursday. Please let us know how he is. Come on Dukey! We want you better! Love to you and Duke from Annmarie and Ricky! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :'( :'( :'( :'(
 
HI well we had the toofie trim and they said all was as per normal, BUT he did have a little tiny seed (they weren't sure what type... i'm not either... maybe tomato?) that was stuck beside his back molar and they thought that might have caused some problems, he also trimmed off his two top incisors just ever so slightly again as one was broken two weeks ago and when he made them even at the time it was ok.... but they grew uneven so he's trimmed the up a little bit to help him O0
He's been a misery guts all day poor little boy, i've given him 3 CC feeds (not full ones just like a half serve) and then this afternoon i spent an hour hand feeding corn, cauli, leafies etc... i'll be doing the same tomorrow but then introducing pellets as well i just break them up into smaller pieces and pop them in his mouth :)

Thanks for all the well wishes....... sorry this is such an ongoing story we've now heard this same type of thing for nearly two years now :(
Dukey sends all his lovely friends these :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Go Duke O0 O0 O0 O0 you are such a little star fighter

Hope this toothie trim sorts the problem for you big :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
 
:smitten: :smitten: DUKEY YOUR THE MAN :smitten: :smitten:


so glad things are going well for you duke, you have your human slave well trained O0 you have had a terrible day and you have every right to feel bad O0 you play it up for all it's worth you sweet cute little guy :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: hoping you're feeling back to your usual chiper self and emailing people again O0 :-* :-* :-*
 
Please give him a kiss from me, Glynis - and my trio are sending him healing vibes.
 
Oh..poor little Dukey.. I hope he gets his teeth sorted out soon! Do the vets expect him to be ok with his teeth? I haven't had any teeth problem yet with Ricky. The vet says he's young yet. I feel so bad for these little babies when they have to get a tooth trim. Mary e-mailed me Dukes picture. What a gorgous little baby boy! He's a cutie! I hope Duke is better and eating normally real soon. Give him a big hug and kiss from me and Ricky! We want little Dukey back to normal! Love and kisses to you and Duke! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
really hoping duke is feeling better O0 know that we are thinking of you both and that we love you both :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: come on duke you are a very special loved piggy :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Hi Glynis...I just tried to PM you and your inbox is full. You haven't been on the forum it looks like. Please, please tell me that little Duke is ok :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:
Ricky and myself are thinking of you and waiting to hear that everything is ok....
