Polo, isn't the vet scary? I'm a frequent flyer. Enjoy your metacam. Hope it makes you feel better. It was nice of you to train the students. Glad you had a nap.

Chez always waits for me, too. Even though we're bar buddies he always waits.

Bianca here. I’ve had many trips and I’m fine with it now. Ophelia is more nervy, now, but we always go together because I was distraught when they left me behind once.
Enjoying my medicine in solidarity with you.

Polo: Thank you Stripe, you're such a good role model. I'm afraid my first dose of metacam got divided between me and the bed cover, but I think Mom might get better at dosing me and not the bed cover. Mmm, nap time In think. I'm trying out A Snuggle Safe, nice and cosy ❤️
 
Polo, my slave lifts my chin to give me my meds so I stay still. But I did drool some of my baytril this morning, so don't feel bad.

Looks like I'll have to come out of my cage again for a cage cleaning and weight check in two hours. It never ends.

Mom saw Cats at the local theater last night and is thinking of buying the soundtrack.

Well, back to munching!
 
Cats is lovely! Polo: I'm starting to like the Metacam.
Mom: I'm glad I don't have to give Baytril, that is advanced technique, but I will practice the chin lift. Polo seems to be getting more used to being handled and even a tiny bit easier to catch, but I still use his hide to pick him up ❤️
 
Yes, Polo, I didn't want my critical care this morning so each time mom had to lift my chin. She only got 15 ml in. She made it lap time and I also got some basil on her lap which I munched up.

Last night after dusk mom remembered I needed some more water. She came in our room and I was zooming and popcorning like crazy!

Chez did some crazy popcorning during spot cleaning this morning.

My poop was more formed this morning. I had one stuck to my butt but it fell off.
 
Dear survivors,

I know we have different kind of problems. You poor guys are sick and tired of that critical care and meds. I feel for you, and I need to share something that hopefully can give you something else to think about.

It was cruisingtime last night. Male-slave took my Harley Kongoson out from the garage. I was so happy until the slaves totally forgot my helmet! How could they? I refused to burn around the house with the wind in my hair. And I ate a bit too much for dinner last night, I look kinda big on my Kongoson? Maybe the slaves should by me a new. And a discohelmet, I saw one on Amazon!

Safety first!
Love from Kongo, protector of helmets
 
I love that bike! Vroom vroom! You look so rebellious.

I was hungry for my critical care today. I get weighed tomorrow. Hope I continue to put on weight. So far I've gained 33 grams.

Mom set a plastic bag down for spot cleaning and Chez latched onto it! Mom and Chez had a tug of war and luckily Mom won.

Day shift today.
 
Truffle and Polo, you are so beautiful! Glad you're enjoying your metacam.

Personally, last night I had a popcorn fest. Mom was worried I'd break a leg because I was zooming all over the cage and bumping my legs on the cage wall. No injuries were sustained.

It's cage cleaning and weighing day in a few hours. I'll go in my bowl.

I enjoyed my critical care just now and Chez is zooming.
 
You had a piggy disco! 🪩 Truffle and Polo: Thank you for the lovely compliments ❤️🐾🐾
 
Polo is definitely a Metacam junkie. This morning he was staring up at me instead of going for his usual post breakfast nap. Then I realised, I had forgotten his morning dose 🙃 Today I just needed to stroke his lips with the syringe and he started licking and chewing at it. All gone in a flash and he settled down like a happy piggy 😴
 
I think I need to get something for Truffle. When he sees Polo getting his meds, he stands in front of me and stares hard at me. Cucumber is the best I can do at the moment 🥰
 
Master Boris gets syringe envy too. Mostly he's happy with a syringe of plain water but occasionally I use the one that had the metacam in before it's fully rinsed so he gets a tiny taste of " the good stuff". Obviously he must get the treat for taking his "meds" like a good boy....🙄
 
Metacam tastes like heaven, if you ask Kongo (and Bob). Kongo goes nuts if he sees a syringe. When he had a URI he was living the dream; metacam, bactrim and bisolvon. The first days he got some critical care because the appetite was a bit low and I didnt know how much he really ate. He was very pleased. Joe runs the other way if he sees a syringe, doesn't matter what it is. Chip never had any meds, but he like the syringe and gets some probiotics or water with vitamin c occasionally just because he looks so jealous if the others gets something and not him.
 
Stripe refuses to get in his snuggle sack for med time, I have to manhandle him but he takes his meds like a champ once he's out. I'm lucky he likes his vitamin c cookie (I know he's not supposed to be supplemented but he's off veg so the vet told me to give it). Bites the syringe for more critical care, and I make lap time out of it.

Boys' bikes, syringes and Metacam 🏍️🎸
 
Polo was gazing at me with an expression that clearly said it's Metacam time 😋 The syringe was empty in seconds. I let Truffle lick the empty syringe and he is keen on Metacam now, a fellow addict 😄 He knew from watching Polo what the syringe is for and must have smelled what Polo was having. It's great that it's so palatable. I wonder what will happen when he course is finished. Will Polo be grumpy and crave it?

If he starts shaking and stealing from your purse to buy more you know you have a problem. Might be time for an intervention.

I'm sure that my three got up in the middle of the night to order some more forage from Piggie Parcels as I woke up this morning with a confirmation of order email from piggie parcels. They don't need any more forage. There is a box of it in the garage.

Keep your credit cards under lock and key or else your piggies will be ordering stuff that you think they don't need but they know that they do.
