Ted’s stopped eating - a terrible week

How is Poppy?
She's still the same, squealing while going to the toilet. Simon couldn't find anything obviously wrong. Her xray looked good. He said it could be something like stress related cystitis. She is a very nervous piggy. He said if I wanted to try antibiotics I could so I've got marcobyl and I'm to carry on giving the dose of metacam that I started giving her. I was worried that he checked the wrong guinea pig lol cos fuzz went with her and Poppy was hiding under the blankets in the carrier but that's probably me being paranoid xx

Aw, I can imagine I think I’d be the same wondering if he got the wrong piggie. it’s really so difficult when you can’t have a face to face chat with the vet. You can supply so much info if you are in the same room and also read the vets thinking to a certain extent, it’s awful when you are just sat outside. Well I’m sure he got the right one and Poppy get better very soon x

Yeah it's a lot better when you're in the room with the vet. I'll see how she goes, she's currently destroying a new carrot cottage with her friends lol. Thanks so much again for letting me have your appointment xx

Aw well she sounds like she’s enjoying the cottage! It’s funny about the appointment because Ted ended coming up to Northampton and saw Simon later that day! I really wasn’t going to go up with this lock down thing but I couldn’t help but take up Debbies kind offer to look after him and take him to the vets and the support of forum members giving us the confidence to travel x
 
Just catching up after a hard day at work. I’ve got tears streaming down my face. Such wonderful news about Ted. And that video just got me. @Bill & Ted what an amazing relief for you. Thank you @furryfriends (TEAS) .
It truly is! I was really beginning to think we would lose him. So thankful to Debbie x
 
ON Dandelions how many can piggies have. My two love um but I do wonder how many is ok
I really don't worry! Life's too short! They don't have them all the time, but I certainly don't restrict them either!
 
Always was a Bill and Ted’s favourite, the hard work of trimming the grass and eating down the dandelions limits how much they have to a certain extent, I’ve never worried about that either. Ginger and Posh have been out in the run today. this is their third run time and they are becoming very confident and carrying on the mantra for “keep that lawn trim for the humans” with great determination! 😃
 
Just catching up with Ted's teeth saga....I'm so pleased he's been able to get his mouth properly sorted out after your local vet's bodge job and he's eating again! Keep munching Ted - you have two wifelets awaiting your recovery and return! Best wishes from myself, Primrose and Stanley x
 
Hope Ted is still doing well.
Jemimah was very concerned about him not being well
Debbie says he’s doing alright. Looked a bit fed up this morning so she put him out in the run and he cheered up no end! I suppose it’s been a change again for him, but with Debbie’s care and expertise he’ll settle in and he’s really in the best place atm. We are really missing him 🙁 It’s a bit strange on a morning because as soon as you get up he’d be waiting at the bars for a head stroke and a nod to say get my breakfast, I’m hungry! (Well when his teeth aren’t playing up)
