Ted’s stopped eating - a terrible week

Could that mean he will soon be home with you, if all goes well at today's appointment?

I really couldn’t say? But it would be lovely to have him back, we will just have to see what Simon thinks? We are hoping that the frequent dentals may balance his teeth again as Simon says they have got worse over the last 6 months or so
 
I will keep my fingers crossed x

The main thing is getting him eating properly and in good health again. I bet you miss him loads though.

yes, we miss him terribly but I know Debbie is looking after him so well and he’s near to Simon who knows him and has treated his dental problem for nearly two years so he’s in the best place x
 
I stopped receiving notifications for this thread four pages ago, only just looked and caught up!
I’m so glad Ted is doing better, even eating hay! It’s fantastic news, hopefully after a few more dentals he’ll be able to come home to you. I bet you feel so much better now that you know he’s really on the mend and getting his personality back

Yes thanks, just hope it goes well later today at the vets. We shall see what Debbie has to tell me later x
 
Ted update. This teeth aren’t too bad considering he’s only been eating properly for a week as he was poorly with RTI for some of the time. Simon found a Dracula’s tooth which he hadn’t noticed before so that’s been filed down. Ted has now got two further weeks of good eating then he will visit Simon again and his mouth will be re- checked to see if this spur has grown again. On the plus side his chest is fine and back to normal x

Good to hear things are moving in the right direction for Ted. Let’s hope all that grass he’s munching each day will keep those teeth in check.
 
Good news about his chest for sure. Fingers crossed Ted continues to eat well for the next 2 weeks, maybe then there can be some talk of him coming back home after that. If everything looks good, Simon may only want to see him once more after another 2 weeks to check everything’s still okay before he thinks Ted is ready to go home. I bet you’re missing him like crazy. I suppose it’s worked out that you ended up finding two girls instead of another boy as it means you still have piggy company. Still, I can’t imagine how you feel. Whilst it’s relieving to know he’s in good hands, I bet all you want is a good cuddle with him and to see his little nose at the bars of his cage. Who would’ve thought that when any of us first got a guinea pig, that they would grow to mean so much. They really do become part of the family.

Aw, yes you’re right, they quickly become part of your family. I do miss him so much and can’t wait to give him a cuddle! Hopefully it won’t be too long! If he manages to keep that spur wearing down with plenty of chewing then that will be a good sign, but it’s best not to rush things for now, we’ll leave him in Debbie’s very good and capable hands for now x
