@Betsy oh lass the love you giving Meg is wonderful.
To accept your piggie is very poorly and know the result will be rainbow world. . Is very hard to deal with . .
You doing amazing job of giving her wonderful beautiful care. . You know I've done this also with piggies. . In a cuddle I tho tears of love told them I promise they would not suffer . . That's hard but least we can do.
Meg is a love and wow she's a fighter. . Jackie be strong and we here 24/7.
Meg you a little love. :luv:

Update on Meg.

Meg is managing to maintain her low weight (25% less than what it should be) and while her body condition is not great (can feel ribs and her big bum is now a very much reduced small bum) it remains the same. She has started to eat more hay as she has adapted her eating style to cope with her facial paralysis. She is still a bit of a tease and comes up to me and then runs off so although she is a shy little thing she still has sass. She is still a very happy girl. So all in all a pretty good update this time.

so good to hear little Meg has adapted.
 
What a clever girl you are Meg. And keep that sass, makes you all the more loveable 😘 :wub:
 
Well another little update for you.

Meg left half of her morning breakfast grass today which is unlike her and at lunchtime chose to eat hay rather than grass which Christian was gorging on like it was going out of fashion. Last night, Meg almost had her "I'm being murdered" wheek back when it was veg time but this morning it had reverted back to her new little raspy wheek. Not sure if I should stop the grass or not? The OH thinks she's getting better. Er no... she's not going to get better she's just going through a good spell atm.
 
It's nice to hear that Meg is doing ok. She really is a little fighter. 💕
 
Meg has lost over 50g in the last 2 weeks she is now back down to 730g after having been fairly stable at around 780-790g for about 4 weeks. She is still eating her grass and a bit of hay. She loves her pellets and her evening veg. She refuses to eat grass for breakfast until she has her pellets put on top and the same in the evening she won't eat her grass until the veg have been put on the top. 🤷‍♀️ Meg is still a happy girl doing bimbly piggy stuff with Christian. She continues to wheek for her dinner again which I take as a good sign. I'm still worried about her but don't think every morning (as I did when she was really bad) that I will only have 3 piggies not 4 when I go in the garage anymore. I am sort of optimistic that she is going through a stable patch but I know that this can change so quickly with piggies.

Glad she’s staying stable now bless her. She’s definitely a lady who knows what she wants and she’s sticking to it! :love: Keep munching Meg! x

You're quite right there @alpacasqueak! She has gained in confidence so much since we lost Velvet last September. She has certainly enjoyed this rise in status from underpiggy to 2nd in command that's for sure.
