Meg has lost weight - a bit worried!

Dear Micah

I can't close my eye on my right side I try to but it just won't shut any more and I don't know why. I have become very good at moving very quickly just as Slave is about to put in the drop it goes on the side of my cheek. If Slave does manage to get the drop in my eye, if she isn't quick enough to blink my eye for me (I hate that bit cos it hurts) I shake my head so that the drop flies everywhere! I think I am very clever.

Lots of wheaks
Meg
 
Took this of Meg this morning finishing off her big pile of breakfast grass. She still hasn't moved onto hay yet but has very much enjoyed the extra feeds of grass every day. She gets 3 big piles that take her half an hour to finish each. She doesn't like grass seed either which she used to love. If she eats a bit of grass seed she paws it out of her mouth. I'm wondering if this means anything? @furryfriends (TEAS) do you know? I'll tell Simon about it on Friday. I have written stuff down that I think he needs to know that'll go in with Meg. Then I won't forget anything.

Well done Meg. I love the mini pauses between munching. And her eye, poor baby.
fingers crossed for Friday.
 
Good news! Meg has been munching on a hay cookie tonight! First time she has shown an interest in anything but grass, veggies and pellets since having her teefies done. OH doesn't think she needs to see Simon on Friday as he thinks she is better cos she is eating but I am insisting that we are going cos she needs to have her teefies checked. He doesn't want to drive the 300 mile round trip starting at 7.10am. He was the one who told me to make the appointment in the morning as "It's a nice time of day to drive this time of year".

Great news Meg is eating hay cookies! I would definitely keep that appointment with Simon, as he can then give you the all clear regarding teeth and check her eye too otherwise you will be forever wondering about her teeth every time she looses a little weight x

That's what I said to the OH that she needs her teefies checked. Her weight is starting to stabilise now although it's still low. Around 830-863g in the last week.

They loose it so quickly and it takes an age for them to put it back on again, if ever. Ted was 1300 gm in February not sure what he is now but when I dropped him off at Debbie’s he was 980 gms, and I know Debbie has struggled to get any weight back on hIm

Well that's reassuring to know. Meg seems happy enough and she is nearly back to her feisy old self. She's still not wheeking all the time when "dindins" (veg time) is called.

I may have a problem. If Meg needs to see Simon/Kim again the OH has completely REFUSED to take her up again. What do I do? I can't drive that far!

I guess it's understandable, it's 6+ hours driving, there and back in a day, which is quite tiring etc. If you could make a mini break of it, maybe that would be a different matter, but who knows when hotels and recreation places are going to be open again?
I will hope and pray and keep my fingers crossed for Meg tomorrow. If further treatment at Cat and Rabbit is necessary, I'm sure we can get together and arrange a piggy train. I'm only 30 mins from Northampton, I could help with this end ...
 
Oh little Meg.. you are having a tough time at the moment... sounds like your lovely slave @Betsy is doing everything she can to make you feel better.. Lots of love from - Winny, Daisy and Brownie xx
 
Meg has just come back from seeing Simon. Her tooth spurs had come back causing her tongue to become ulcerated and the tooth spurs were nearly cutting her tongue again. He said that the teeth on the left upper arcade hadn't grown at all in the last two weeks since Kim tidied them up. He gave all Meg's teeth a file to try and encourage the top ones to grow. Her facial paralysis on the right had side is now a full paralysis as the lips are wonky and don't join together properly. Her eye has a very deep ulcer but it is healing and I have been given some remend gel to help this with this.

Oh no, i am so sorry to hear that Meg is still having problems with her teeth. I really do hope things start to improve for her. Love and hugs to you both.xx
 
Sorry to hear about Meg's sore tongue. But glad that
Her eye is healing. Hopefully Meg will feel better soon. ❤
 
Aw, poor little Meg, do you know if the neurological nerve damage is causing the teeth problems? I know it’s not the news you wanted but keep positive, she’s enjoying her life despite her problems like my Ted, sending little hugs to you both x
