Beauty's babies are growing up fast and are now over two weeks old. They are becoming so cheeky and love to sit on Beauty's back. She doesn't seem too happy about that!
New resident, Angel, had an operation yesterday to lance and drain a huge jaw abscess. She is doing fantastically well this morning and hasn't stopped eating. I need to get her out to flush the abscess, but don't want to disturb her while she is munching.
Percy, who arrived a couple of weeks ago with the most overgrown teeth I have ever seen is doing ok, although he has a tooth root abscess in one of his front incisors so having to deal with that too.
Another new resident is Hazel. She is 11 weeks old but weighs less that Beauty's babies. She saw Simon yesterday morning and has absolutely dreadful teeth. They had lacerated her tongue and ulcerated her cheeks, but she was still so cheerful and lively. Simon has filed them all and she is doing really well so far.
Georgie, who arrived a couple of weeks ago will see Simon tomorrow. She was found on a grass verge about a year ago, with damage to her eyes. She was handed in to me, as the lady who had taken her on was worried about her living alone, but didn't want to take on more piggies.
Ben had a heart scan last week as he wasn't responding to treatment for a respiratory problem. No fluid on chest and heart looked good and since changing from Zithromax to Marbocyl he is doing very well.
Monty hasn't been doing so well recently and had dropped weight, despite his teeth looking ok. Then suddenly he started to produce some pus from his eye socket (he had his eye removed last year, after developing a retrobulbar abscess). A long course of Zithromax and he is now making excellent progress again.
I currently have some temporary residents from The Potteries Rescue, who will see Simon on Thursday for dental checks.
Last night I found Ted looking very unwell. Very crusty eyes and he has dropped weight, so he has gone in to vets today, with his brother Bill to hold his paw, and hopefully Simon will get to the bottom of what is going on.
Later today I will be welcoming Junior, who belongs to Lauren (potty4piggies). He has just been dropped off at the vets and Simon will see him soon.
Think that is most of the news from TEAS and this is all in addition to my full time pet care business, so please accept my apologies for not being around too much at the moment.
