Meg has lost weight - a bit worried!

Fingers crossed she can find out what’s wrong and the spay goes well 💕
 
Poor Meg, hope your vet can get to the root of the problem soon, such a worry when you don’t know what’s wrong, if only they could talk!
Best wishes for Betsy, hope all goes well x
 
Wishing Betsy and Meg all the be best for tomorrow. Hope they both feeling better soon.♥️
 
Oh, ladies! What a worry you are causing your slave. Hope all goes well tomorrow x
 
I am now more than a bit concerned about Meg. Despite syringe feeding her as much as she will take her weight was the lowest it has been in over 2 years:( she is eating a bit for herself too. The vet said that I could give her Metoclopramide which I have been but her weight is still going down. As the vet couldn't find anything wrong, I am at a loss why she keep losing weight. She hasn't been right for 4 weeks now. I know Meg and she isn't right. I just don't know what is wrong. Do I mention this extra weight loss to the vet? will they think I'm just a paranoid Mum? She has seen two different vets and apart from the lovely Alfonso finding her tummy was a bit slow, hence the Metaclopramide,neither could find a reason to this mystery weight loss.
 
Mystery weight loss is worrying but as you said you know her and can spot even when the tiniest thing is off. I’d definitely call the vet again. I really hope she is ok

I'm very sorry to hear this, it must be such a worry. Do you think an xray might help to see if something might be going on? Sending you hugs xx

The lovely Alfonso did mention an X ray if Meg continued to lose weight. I may well suggest that thanks I had forgotten this. Just seen her chomping on hay so will wait and see if she gains anything in the next day or so.

It's definitely worth considering if nothing has been detected from examination alone. Sending Meg healing vibes. My poppy's at the vets having an xray x
 
Sorry that Meg is still losing weight.
Go with your instinct.
The vets know you so they will be aware that you’re not paranoid, just a very aware and caring piggy owner.
 
Poor little Meg. Sending hugs and healing vibes still. I hope that she perks up soon!
