Peppers poorly 😭

[weepweeps]

I had to start the pain meds again. His breathing started getting more noticeable last night. He’s eating and his weight is stable though. So that’s good signs.

 

[CTWC]

That is a good sign

 

[Roselina]

Ah I hope the pain meds are all that’s needed - great he’s eating etc

 

[weepweeps]

He seems really tired and sad this evening. I really hope the pain meds kick in quickly and he’s soon feeling more comfortable. He’s still coming to the bars for treats though.

 

[CTWC]

Darling boy, it's awful when you feel like they're sad good that he's still coming for treats though

 

[Bertie & Jelly]

Oh Pepper. Hoping those pain meds kick in soon for the little chap x

 

[Bill & Ted]

Poor little man, hope those pain meds kick in soon

 

[AidaB]

Thinking of you. Hope the pain meds are helping Pepper.

 

[Merab]

Hugs

 

[Claire W]

Aw come on Pepper. Please feel better soon x

 

[fluffysal]

Aw, poor Pepper

 

[VickiA]

How is he this morning? X

 

[weepweeps]

Hiya @VickiA . I crept into their room this morning fearing the worst. But he was sat in the hay tray having a munch. He’s lost 15g so not major and he was begging for his breakfast veggies. His eyes look brighter so I think the pain meds are starting to help.

I think you can often tell by theirs eyes if they are in pain, it’s often the first thing I notice. If he is “bright eyed and bushy tailed” then I bet they have kicked in. Hope he feels better now x

Yes his eyes were half closed yesterday.

Sounds like you’ve read the situation perfectly for him. So pleased he’s perked up since the painkillers

This just goes to show how important it is to know your piggies well. You knew he was in pain last night so you did something about it.

 

[Merab]

Glad he’s feeling better today

 

[weepweeps]

Pepper was completely hidden under the hay this morning. He never sleeps under the hay! He didn’t come out when I called him. I opened the curtains thinking this was it. I went to get their veggies and by the time I came back he was out begging at the bars. This is such a roller coaster of emotions. I feel like I’m just waiting for him to die.

 

[CTWC]

Emotional roller-coaster

 

[Bill & Ted]

We invest so much love it really is an emotional rollercoaster, sending hugs x

 

[fluffysal]

Oh Pepper, stop scaring your slave!

 

[Merab]

Holding you in my heart

 

[Claire W]

It really is an emotional roller coaster I am thinking of both you and Pepper and I hope he stops scaring you x

 

[munchmonster]

Sending hugs and a lorry load of good wishes for a positive outcome xx

It's awful when your piggy isn't ill enough to take to the vet for pts but you dread going into see them in the morning just in case they've had the call from The Rainbow Bridge. We've all been there! Hugs to you at this difficult time.
