Saturday morning cage clean

Full spay, and bladder flush. Teeth not been touched because when she was under he could look better and said they weren’t as bad as he thought. I’m pleased about that as was worried it might be too much for her
 
So glad she’s home and okay. My three send bucket loads of healing wheeks. Toffee told me to tell you tell her to milk it for what she can. Apparently slaves can be very gullible sometimes 😳
 
So I’ve just given her her sulfatrim and metacam for the night and now giving her some critical care. As per Toffees advice it’s got mushed banana in too.
I think she’s quite bright all things considering really.
 
Sending loads of best wishes to Ginny and hope she can now go from strength to strength and enjoy life again. Our piggies can give us such stress and heartache when they are not well but I have my fingers crossed that you can grab a bit of 'me' time and that your other pets catch the healing vibes coming your way.
Take care xx

Wow! What a lot for a little piggy to go through. She'll be quite sore for a bit. Sending healing wheaks.
 
Thank you. I’m besides myself honestly. She’s clearly very sore today and not having the best time of it. Syringe feeding is slow and hard going. I was awake 3am thinking of her so got up and gave her some food and she was better then. This morning she’s not wanting much but can’t say I blame her. Doing little and often. She took her meds ok so that’s good.

I hope I can get her through this. It’s so hard to see.

I’ll do a full detailed post at the weekend when I’m not juggling work and all this and can spend the time typing it all up what the vet reported.
 
When RB Piggy The Ever Beautiful Betsy had her spay, she was so drugged up the the eyeballs she was clearly tripping! It was so hard to get any syringe feed into her for the first day or two while the cocktail of drugs worked it's way out of her body. Then it was speed feed time! She was clearly very hungry and I got 20ml into her in about 5 mins! It didn't even touch the sides. It was straight in and swallow, straight in and swallow. I think it was day 3 that she started to eat a bit for herself. Keep persevering you're doing a grand job!
 
Keep going. Hopefully your hard work will help her get through the drug addled days.
 
It’s the same as with humans - it takes time for the anaesthetic to work out the system.
If you can keep her guts moving and keep her pain free she should recover.

Priscilla had anaesthetic today and now looks as if it’s the morning after the night before!
Later when I give her meds and as much CC as she’ll take I will also offer some grated carrot mixed with oats to help her eat for herself.

It’s worrying because we want them to be better immediately.
Look after yourself as well as Ginny
 
Aww lovely Pricilla. That’s a good idea with the grated carrot. Thank you. ❤️

Well I’ve given her little mouthfuls all day as often as I could with work and when I’ve finished I came back up to her and whilst on the phone to my grandma slowly gave her a bigger feed. She took it much better and remembered how to swallow this time! I then put her back in the cage and ate my tea with my husband in the piggy room and watched Ruffles do zoomie after zoomie!

Then I was cleaning the cage and she got out of her corner tunnel and was moving about the cage which is the first I’ve seen her do!

Then i accidentally rattled a bag and the pigs all started wheeking and to my amazement she did her first croaky wheek! Cleared her throat and then was wheeking properly. Melted my heart! So went down and immediately got veggies. Including the parsley I bought for her today and she came running out and was excited. She was struggling to eat bigger bits so I cut her bits into shreds and she ate some! I couldn’t be happier. Still a log way to go but it seems worlds away from this morning.

She’s now back to honking whilst breathing and seems like that too it out of her but I’ll take it as a good sign.

I’ve also lowered a water bottle for her as saw she was struggling to reach up to it.

Such good news so far! Keep on fighting Ginny we've all got fingers and paws crossed for you (and your frazzled slave) ❤️ ❤️

Well here we are again my sweet girl. So much of my life and thoughts revolve around you at the moment. I feel like I know you better than I’ve ever known you. I hope you know all this fussing is because I love you so much and want you in my life for as long as possible. Let’s get you through this my gorgeous girl ❤️
 
She’s having a bad day today. Uninterested in any food. Lethargic and hard to syringe feed. She feels a bit bloated so got her sat on my electric toothbrush to see if that helps at all.
 
Hope Ginny feels better later. Lots of healing wheeks.
 
I don’t know if my anxious nature is catastrophizing or if I’m losing her.
I know I’m not in a good place mentally right now because of lack of sleep, no breaks away from piggy stuff and poor diet from stress and that won’t be helping.
But she’s just not processing much of anything I’m giving her and is so lethargic.

Managed to get meds in her I think, it’s had to know if she’s just holding stuff in her mouth. I’ve put her back in the cage and I’m going to leave her alone a bit I think.

She’s refusing to eat or drink anything for herself and today I’ve barely got anything into her.
