Ted’s stopped eating - a terrible week

It is hard being apart at the moment. Poor Ted doesn't know why he is staying with Debbie, but you have absolutely done the right thing. Think how excited you will both be when he comes back home. Sending hugs.xx

Even I will be excited when he comes home, and he's not even my boy! ❤️
 
Aw, thanks everyone for the lovely comments and wishes. I’m not sure how long he will be at Debbie’s.

Unfortunately Debbie rung this morning as Ted was not eating after not stopping all day yesterday. He had a little cough when she picked him up and his breathing wasn’t too good. He had 1 mouthful of syringe food and took it keenly but could not take a second as he was chewing and chewing but not emptying his mouth.
She’s whipped him up to Simon’s and he has examined his mouth and is amazed just how quickly his mouth has healed up and his teeth were good too. Ted has been given an injection of Marbocyl and a fusomide type drug for water retention and more to take hone. On a positive note Debbie says Ted breathing has improved so maybe those drugs have got to work very quickly.
Debbie has a really busy weekend as she’s got two poorly piggies to look after, one being Ted, but she will keep me updated and I will let you know if any changes x

Really hoping he gets better soon. Poor little guy. Far away from home, bad teeth now this. My thoughts are with you all ❤️👍
 
He will pull through! He’s just dealing with a lot on top of being in an unfamiliar environment without his family. Two steps forward and one step back is still one step forward :) it’s only been a few days since he first saw Simon, hes with Debbie because we knew it wouldn’t be a straight forward treatment and recovery so don’t be disheartened that he’s had a bad day. Good days will follow!
 
Ted’s looking better than I do! Looking after three poorly piggies, yesterday, and very little sleep, has taken its toll! Happy that Ted and Freddie seem to be moving in the right direction, but think I may need to get Buttercup seen, at the vets, tomorrow x
 
Oh Debbie. Wish we could do something to help. Hope the piggies are better soon and fingers crossed for Buttercup.xx

You do an amazing job. Don't forget to take care of yourself too x

Aw, he is a lovely character but I’m biased, so glad he’s taken his meds well and such a brave boy too ❤

Just catching up on this thread. I've not been on social media much lately- sometimes need a little break. Wow what a rollercoaster Ted (and you) have been on. I can't imagine how difficult it's been. Having a poorly piggie during normal times is hard enough so you've done an amazing job for him during this time & what a lovely thing that @furryfriends (TEAS) are taking such good care of him.
Me and my piggies wish you all the very best (6 wheeks for Ted) x
 
Aw thanks everyone, it’s hard when you are 300 miles away but I know he is getting the best care possible and near to Simon too for any dentals he needs. he sounds like he’s picking up and the meds are making him better x
