Pigging Out

I told hubby to just prepare to bring Rocky to Cat & Rabbit in the coming days or next week. I do think it's starting to be a teeth problem coz he's chewing and eating slowly. But the main thing is he's still eating, even if he's quiet. He isn't drooling as well. Hubby sometimes don't want to believe me coz I do tend to worry about the piggies A LOT. It can be both and a blessing really. :D

Edit: Last sentence... "It (worrying a lot) can be both a curse and a blessing really." 😁👍

How’s Rocky today?

I don't think he's eating much. 1375g this morning. He was 1430g last night after I gave him a topup CC. Hubby said it's because he hasn't eaten his breakfast yet and I weighed him an hour earlier. Although he said he ate his morning salad, ate some pellets too. This is what annoys me with hubby sometimes. There's no physical sign of dental problems like drooling and such, so he's delaying taking him to Simon. When I think he needs to be seen. I can't drive that far and he's the driver, so I have to sometimes really persuade him, or until he finally see the problem. :hb: I have to give him CC soon. 😔
 
I’m sorry your husband is refusing to budge. Perhaps tell him it would be cheaper to take him now rather than wait for the problem to be worse. They can go downhill quickly so it’s not something to play about with. Good luck and hope you can convince him.

PS weigh in the morning before he eats breakfast or has any CC. That’s a more realistic weight I think, because it doesn’t include what you’ve fed him. 💕

He just asked me to make a graph of his weight before we stopped giving him melons up to today. Didn't realised we stopped it on November. I managed to check it when we were talking about calories and such. So I made that and he just sent an email to Kim. Here's his photo last night after I fed him CC. I think the top is more slanted now than the other day. He was doing so well yesterday eating a lot by himself. And today he isn't again.

you’re right, both look slanted but top more than the bottom. Hope he can be seen soon.

Aw bless him, yeah they definitely both look slanted. Hope you can get your hubby to get moving to Nhampton, definitely best for uncle Simon to have a look after he’s being so funny with food and dropping things like you said yest. Hope Kim gets back to you soon, big hugs from us lot x and a big kiss for my Rocky 😘 x

He just ate grass a few minutes ago. And I'm so glad he was the first one to go down and munch on it! We went out and loads of road flooding. :yikes: I didn't realise the rain is that much. And we live up a hill!

Oh no! Good you live at the top and not the bottom then, hope no one gets flooded! 🤞
 
Hi everybody!

I just want to say good night to all. Mummy said I've been a good boy tonight coz I've been eating! I weighed 1404 before my topup of CC before bed time. I love CC! Mummy and Daddy picked up loads of grass for me this afternoon to encourage me to eat. I was also eating some pea flakes. Mummy gave me some melons coz I missed having it! They stopped giving it to me last year because Daddy said it makes me fatty coz I eat it all. But daddy let me eat it today coz mummy feels so worried for me. Anyway, thank you for all your concern. If only I can tell mummy what's wrong with me, I already did. At least I'm still eating.

Love,
Rocky (Mummy's fat fat boy) ❤

I hope you’re feeling better soon Rocky. And you’re not fat, you’re just a hunk of a boar. Sweet dreams of the melon you enjoyed.

Much love from slave to four 😘
 
Hello!

I weighed 1379g this morning. Mummy gave me a topup CC and I loved it. When she put be back on the floor, I ran to the cage and ate some lettuce. Last night, while mummy was still awake at around 3am watching the US presidential inauguration concert, we made a fuss in the cage. Vegas was being annoying so I chased her down the hutch to the floor. Then when she was hiding in one of the cosy bed, I went back upstairs and ate some pellets. Mummy said we are all naughty.

Thank you for saying I'm not fatty. Mummy like cuddling me because she said I'm so squishy. I go back to have a snooze now on top of my hay.

Love,
Rocky squishy boy ❤

P.S.
Mummy said Daddy have not got any reply from Simon & Kim yet. Not sure when Daddy is taking me to the vet but he filled up the car with petrol yesterday.
 
Oh poor Rocky, hoping Daddy can take you to see Uncle Simon or Kim to have a good look at what’s going on with those teethies of yours. Fingers all crossed it’s simply sorted and you can get back to chomping x
 
Good boy Rocky! Keep using those gnashers, but not on mum or dad! 😳🥰
 
Just called and made appointment for Rocky at Cat & Rabbit, Tuesday at 3:30 pm. 👍

For those who have been to C&R, what are the settings/conditions in the services? Are the services open?Obviously we are going to stop a few times for toilets. Hubby said he wants us to bring food for us instead of stopping to buy. I'm usually the one who gets out to get food anyway.
 
Glad you’ve got an appt for lovely Rocky boy :) Sorry you’ve got to travel so far x
I went at the end of Nov but obviously on the train so I’m a bit useless! The loos were even closed the week before at the station when Jaspy was neutered, I nearly peed my pants getting there and back twice! XD Hope a few open for you, it’s a big drive with no toilets I can imagine!:yikes:
 
Rocky's weight this morning is 1363g. So it's going down everyday now. I'm giving him 4 feeds of CC for the past 2 days. I'm also giving him Metacam just to help him with some pain he is feeling. He chews slower and we can see his eyes twitching everytime he chews grass or hay. But his appetite seems to improve in the afternoon till night time (probably because Metacam is kicking in) coz we see him being normal those times. Obviously he's not eating a lot but at least he still eats.

I can't wait for Tuesday so he can be seen by Simon or Kim.
 
Oh no, so sorry he’s still losing weight @anyar.dris, really hope he’s ok and doesn’t lose anymore until your visit at C&R. Poor little Rocky ❤️ Massive hugs for you too xx

My Aliona has been losing weight gradually so I’m keeping a close eye on her but looks like we might have to visit uncle Simon very soon too 🤦‍♀️ Scared ovarian cysts but she is definitely older than I thought too so just hoping it’s age. Piggies! 🙄

Hope there's nothing bad is happening to Aliona. These piggies really give us fright. We were lucky we didn't need the vets last year, apart from Rocky's conjunctivitis last month. Fingers crossed there's no snow on Tuesday too coz it's gonna be a problem driving. It's heavy snow at the moment here where we live!
