Update: thank you all for checking in. I’m not having a great day with him really.... took him for an emergency trip to Kim today. His teeth were pretty good, just some trapped food (not sure if that’s enough to cause funny chewing). He really does have Kim out of ideas.
his mouth is really good, his tummy really good, but he’s definitely been quieter and lost some (not all) of his appetite. So he’s lost a bit of weight too.

all we can do now is see how he does. He’s still on his meds, but if he doesn’t improve, we are literally out of ideas.
 
Thanks all. I’m not convinced Thor is doing very well either, an occasional rattle when breathing. So going to have to get him checked too. Is it safer to separate him from Odin?

I will continue to give all these guys the best lives, but I definitely don’t think I’ll have more piggies in the future. My heart can’t take it 💔
 
Ah I’m sorry to hear that about Thor and Odin - I can’t advise you but I’m sending you much love and will be thinking of you all
 
Odin update:
I know it’s been a while since his last positive post, but I worry about jinxing his progress if I say he’s doing well!

Above was Odin at his worst, barely 530g, unable to eat and syringe fed every couple of hours day and night. When the vets said to put him to sleep...
Then we found Simon and Kim. With the help of the best vets and I would like to think some of my TLC and dedication to him this is him now. We are at 800g at the moment and even have some popcorning going on!

This is absolutely amazing news and so lovely to hear the progress he has made. This is definitely because of your hard work and dedication as well as Simon and Kim’s input and also because of Odin’s fighting spirit. ❤️
 
Oh that’s wonderful news and lovely pigtures ! Your dedication and love and care and all those night feeds have worked. Kim and Simon and yourself have worked really hard to get the lovely Odin here 🥰

Thanks for the update, Odin looks great in the new pictures. You've done a fantastic job to get him better.

How's Thor doing?

Thor is also much better. He is on antibiotics as a precaution but his breathing had cleared up. He’s also popcorning around!

Sounds blooming good to me! :D Aah, can’t get over the change in him! :wub::wub:So lovely to see, very much down to his mummy also kicking ass me thinks! :D:))
Thank you, not done much but happy I could help a bit! Just so glad he’s so much happier (and looking so beautiful!) xx
 
Look at those bright eyes! I remember that awful night when everyone was just willing him to last until the morning. Keep getting strong beautiful boy, there are a lot of people behind you 💜
 
You know, if you ever get tired of your current job, you could always become a vet's nurse for Guinea pigs. You have experience with everything for a poorly piggy now.
What great news! I just know they all feel and appreciate the devotion and care you give them.

I wish I could! I would love that career, as a vet nurse for all animals! But I’m too old with too many responsibilities to change career now 😔
