Merab's Herd

Dear Ever Beautiful Betsy who lives with @Betsy , we need you to write another letter to the GPU on our behalf please.
As you see from the previous post our slave had failed to provide our midday snack immediately on arriving home. Today it was worse.
Not only did she go out all day and leave us alone so we had to depend on daddy slave to give us a midday snack, but when finally deigned to come home instead of feeding us immediately she went and talked to daddy slave first.
We had to wheek really loudly to remind her we were starving.
We think this is a serious case of getting priorities wrong and look for your support.
Love from Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah

PS - here’s the paw print 🐾 and poo 💩 you will need.

We also hate it when the slaves comes home and doesn't feed us IMMEDIATELY.
Would this really be to much to ask for?
Love from Billie, Tessy, Bonny, Vicky and Odi

Oh dear oh dear Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah what did your Slave think she was doing? Not attending to your needs immediately she came in the door and leaving you to depend on Daddy Slave. This is an extremely serious dereliction of duty! The following letter will be sent. Thanks for the paw print and the poop it means your letter can be actioned straight away.

Lots of wheaks

The Ever Beautiful Betsy.

Dear GPU

I'm afraid we have another complaint about our Slave. She went off galivanting all day and left us at the mercy of Daddy Slave who may or may not have given us our midday snack (we couldn't possibly comment). When Slave FINALLY decided to come home what does she do? Well she doesn't feed us straight away oh no, she went and spoke to Daddy Slave first! The cheek of it! So she would remember to feed us we had to remind her we were there and were completely starving by wheaking at her REALLY loudly and eventually she got the message. We feel very hard done by. How dare she not attend to our needs immediately! Daddy Slave is not as important as us.

Yours in food

Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah
 
Lovely piggies for sure! How are the fleece hideouts in conjunction with the bedding? I’ve been wondering about the fleece hideys as I use loose bedding myself. Mine have fiddlesticks bridges as hides but I been wanting to use some comfy fleece to see if my girls like them.
 
The combination of wooden bendy bridges with assorted fleeces seems to work well.
I have 3 wooden bridges in the cage, a fleece tunnel or pouch on 2 corners and then 1 or 2 more tunnels in the cage.
I ring the changes with a hay bag, a cardboard box and at the moment, a carrot cottage.

Being strange animals they all prefer the fleece which is in one particular corner, unless it’s a corner tunnel when they will use that, even if it is in the ‘wrong’ corner.
If there’s a large hay bag then that becomes Phoebe’s favourite place to sleep.
 
The cage is clean, the piggies all weighed and checked over. Slave very happy with them all.
Introduced them to pea flakes yesterday.
Phoebe snatched hers from my fingers in a flash. Micah was having a sniff before committing himself and before he made up his mind Phoebe had snatched it away.
Priscilla slept on!

If Priscilla doesn't want her pea flakes Betsy is very happy to eat them, so is Patsy and Meg so send them darn sarth! In fact Betsy will eat anything as long as it starts with F ends in D and has OO in the middle!

The paper bag lasted 2 days! Phoebe is not going to sleep in a fleece which is in the wrong place!

Priscilla would like all the forum piggies to know that she is perfect.

At the health check with the vet yesterday she was declared to be in perfect health and was very good when having her nails trimmed.

Micah has a possible cyst in one of his dodgy eyes but nothing to worry about. Just keep an eye on ( sorry for the pun). His bald leg was thoroughly checked and vet agrees with me that as there’s no other cause it’s probably over enthusiastic grooming.

Phoebe’s weepy eye was checked and vet thinks there may be a slight infection so as a precaution she’s on antibiotic eye drops for 7 days in both eyes as vet thought there may be something in her other eye too.
4 times a day! It’s going to be a looooong week - need to lay in more bribes.
 
Aw your pampered piggies are gorgeous as ever Heather :)
Sorry to hear you have multiple eye issues with Phoebe and Micah, our Tallulah also has a dodgy left eye still all watery and sticky despite repeated courses of antibiotic drops- our vet recommended we use a lubricant tear gel daily even when her eye seems fine to try fend off any further issues and I recently read a clinical trial research paper about Siccasan eye gel lubricant, reducing recurrence of infections and corneal damage in permanently dry sticky eyes- so we are using that now as her regular non prescription eye gel lubricant, its just like veterinary lubrithal but with added dexpanthenol which clinical trials suggest strengthens dry corneas prone to damage- might be worth a try for long term dodgy eye piggies?
You can get it from Amazon without prescription if the vet thinks a longer term eye gel lubricant regime may help, we've been using it once a day for a week and Tallulah's dry sticky eye looks almost normal.
Of course no substitute for prescription antibiotic drops for an injury or infection, but if the eye issues are cropping up fairly regularly due to dodgy tear ducts or something and a daily non prescription lubricant is suggested, Siccasan seems very good. Not cheap, but cheaper and less stressful than repeated vet visits for infections and corneal abrasions that are only happening due to dry eye issues!
 
Such a gorgeous bunch :luv::luv::luv:

Hope the eye drops do the trick for Phoebe’s weepy eye.
Glad to hear everyone is in good health and Priscilla continues to be perfect! 🥰🥰

Thanks for this @PigglePuggle
I will check with the vet to see what they think but this could be a good idea, especially for Micah with his congenitally abnormal eyes.
I’m hoping the cream sorts Phoebe out for good, but we will see.
 
Well I hope you enjoyed the chocolates Heather as much as the piggies enjoyed their hay bag 😀
