Riff Raff has cataracts, secondary to diabetes. Poor darling. On a low carb diet now, just like his mummy.
 
Sorry to hear that Lucinda I hope he gets back on track. :smitten:
 
Thanks Louise. I knew there was one cataract, but when we took them all in for an MOT yesterday the vet commented on them immediately. She asked if Riff drank a lot and I said yes, because that is true. She then said she thought it was diabetes.

Riff is furious because there was no fruit today.
 
am so sorry to hear about riff :'( :'( :'( the vet thinks zoe might be diabetic cause she drinks a lot of water too. apart from the water zoe has no other symptoms. what types of food did your vet suggest for riff? sending you both hugs and healing vibes :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: hoping riff is back to his normal cheeky self in no time O0
 
Poor Riff, hope he adjusts to his no carb diet quickly :-\
 
Oh darling little Riff we're so sorry :'( :'( :'( :'(
I'm sure mummy will do everything in her power to help you get better O0 :smitten: :smitten:
Sending you heaps of wheeeeeeks and loves from us both :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
I'm sorry to hear about your piggie - hope he is feeling a bit better soon.
 
Riff is pissed off at the lack of fruit on offer at the moment, but is being very good eating hay and cereal and leaves. The vet says he can have some fruit as a treat occasionally.

I think he can see reasonably well as he follows things with his eyes and is always quick to move, hide, find eats etc.
 
poor wee boy, he'll be wondering where all that yummy veg has gone. xx
 
glad riff is being a good boy and eating the good stuff O0 sending hugs and healing vibes for you riff :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: so glad his eyes appear to be getting better, like FF said your treats will taste better as treats riff O0
 
Lucinda i'm so glad they've said that Riff can have treats, as i said Mum used to treat herself once a week too O0

Riff these are for you :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
