He's still the same. He weighed 1334g this morning. Hubby said he wasn't that wet, just damp. The stinky smell of his wee is now gone (but Rocky still stinks and not bathing him yet until he's back to normal). He is eating grass by himself, not much but at least he is eating. Hubby and I had to drive around and look for different types of grass just to encourage him eating! Oh and his appointment with Simon is on Thursday, 15th April.

Rocky eating some salad leaves and parsely. But don't be fooled by these photos. He isn't really eating unless we feed him on our laps. He weighed 1312g Monday morning. So we had to feed him every 2 hours or so just to put back the weight he lost overnight. Looks like he still has problems with his bite and chewing. I think his front teeth is quite long too, even though the vet said they filed a bit off on Thursday. Good thing is he stopped leaking wee and I can bath him tomorrow. He will not stink of wee soon! Anyway, I can't wait for him to be seen by Simon on Thursday. We would have gone straight to C&R if not them being on holiday. Although if we didn't go to the vet last week, his condition might have been a lot worse when we see Simon.

Taking care of sick piggies takes a lot of time. Good thing we can be here full time with them in the house and just mainly focus on them to getting better. Although I can't wait to have a relaxing day not worrying about them. I can't even do loads of cooking even if I want to and just do a quick heating of food or a simple fry up.
 
Hope your appointment goes well and Rocky feels much better after seeing Uncle Simon 🤞 Have a safe journey and hope not too much of a long day for you all :hug:Big kisses to Rocky ❤️x
 
Still on our way home. We also saw Debbie @furryfriends (TEAS) and had a chat with her while we are all waiting for our piggies.

Simon said Rocky's left back teeth has spurs that is hurting him. His right back teeth were not level too. And just what I thought, his incissors are too long. So the other vet didn't really do a good job with fixing the problems. Simon has corrected everything. We are scheduled to go back in 4 weeks time again. Hopefully Rocky would soon be better after seeing Simon.
 
What a long day for you, hope you’re home soon 🤞
I'm so sorry the other vet hasn’t helped poor Rocky, so glad you could get him to Simon and I bet he’s feeling much better already. Big hugs to you all and hope gorgeous Rocky boy starts eating normally very soon ❤️ Hope you have a good night x
 
It’s good you got him seen sooner. Hopefully he will start improving and eating better now. Kiss to Rocky
 
Got home around 10:30pm. What a long day, but glad Simon had seen Rocky earlier than his supposed sched. Poor Rocky didn't really had a sleep while in the car, he hates car rides. He is asleep now and I would have to give him the last feed at around 1am. Hubby will give him the morning feed until I wake up. 😁

Rocky and the humans.

Sorry for the late reply. Rocky is still not eating by himself. Last time he had his dental with Kim, he took a few days for him to get back to eating by himself, so it's going to be the same thing this time. We still see him uncomfortable when chewing so he still have toothache, like what Simon told us. He weighed 1310g this morning. But he went down to eat salad leaves with the girls for breakfast, 1st sign of being interested with eating.

We went to Liverpool today and had to bring him with us so we can feed him. My in-laws like seeing our piggies anyway.
 
I weighed Sierra this morning and she's 1607g. 😱😳 I always check her nipples in case it's crusty and showing signs of ovarian cyst/tumor but nothing. She's actually normal and still eating loads and loads of hay. She's our hay hoarder and always prefer hay than other food. Am I just worrying too much?

Anyway, we made another appointment for Rocky to see Simon on Wednesday afternoon. He is still not eating much and relies mainly on syringe feeding. But this photo is just now. He started eating from one of his favourite bowls! It's dried leaves and hay. Oh and excuse the too many pellets, we are giving everything to encourage Rocky to eat.
