Pigging Out

Thank you :) She’s lost 70g in about 6 weeks so down to 980g now, she was 1100 when we lost Jess, then she lost about 50g but so did Luigi cuz weren’t getting as many tasty oats and getting spoilt without Jess! Thought it was my dodgy scales so got new ones delivered yest, still the same! I was hoping I’d get a month without vets after Cleo but nope!:doh::))
Really hope you’ve got better weather! 🤞🤞 Must be such a long day travelling for you all. Hope he’s ok over the wknd with his lovely mum looking after him :) x
 
Hubby said he's thinking no traffic going to and from Northampton, since it's lockdown. The weather will be our problem if ever. Also unfortunate we can't visit and have a meal with Debbie (TEAS) coz we usually do whenever we go to C&R. It's nice visiting her, the piggies and Priya.

Thank you xx

I remember in Jan 2018 we had to take Bunny to our local vets to be seen coz she had blood in her wee, but the road was covered in snow. We had to shovel it away and I had to push the car out the village coz the road was so slippy and the car needed a bit of push to go! Worst day ever for me coz hubby was the driver. We only live in a small village but we are on top of the hill and parts of the village are in a bit of an angle.

It was! Told hubby afterwards that I'm wishing no piggies will get sick when it's snowing again! One reason why it puts me off snow. It's nice when you are just inside the house and nowhere to go. Terrible when you have an emergency to go to somewhere!

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.

Rocky does sound like he has a little pain somewhere around his mouth if he is wincing slightly, I have seen Ted do this occasionally. Hope you find out what it is and it can be easily sorted, you are with “the best” x
 
We're on our way to C&R now. My poor Rocky boy always hate the car ride. I'm always sat at the back with the piggies every time we go to C&R. This also lets me give them food while on the road without needing to stop (apart from us humans going to toilets). His carrier is at the booth btw and he'll use that when we drop him off at the vets.

We have been stopping a few times..one of our tyres has a slow puncture we think. Good thing we have electric pump in the car for emergencies. This is going to be an annoying journey. :hb:

This is exactly what happened on our last journey up to the C&R in December. We got up early, OH went to put a few things in the car, noticed we had a flat tyre. Pumped it up and went straight round to tyre place who mended it straight away, came back, we all got in the car and set off.
Just got onto the motorway at 5.00 pm to come home and got a warning sound to say tyre was losing pressure. Had to stop twice to inflate it. Those electric pumps are worth their weight in gold. Safe journey, hope it goes well for Rocky x
 
Still on the way home. Rocky has been given full health check by Kim. She said no problems with his tummy, bum, eyes, ears, etc. She looked in his mouth and said that despite having some spur on the lower right arcade and upper left arcade, his mouth is clear, no signs of wound or ulcers. She filed it down and the front incisors. She thinks we caught it very early that's why there are no other signs of dental problems. Oh and she said Rocky has a very good weight and quite packing that's why you would not notice any dental issues if it were not us. 😁

Aw, so glad you have found out what’s wrong, hopefully now that’s all sorted x
 
Happy for you that you caught it early. Hopefully he’ll soon be back to his munching ways and (more) chunky self 🥰
