So glad she's home and eating! Its been a long stressful day, and you all probably need a good night's sleep, then probably some loxicom and syringe feed for breakfast to get her going again then hope its a smooth revovery. But the worst bit is hopefully over now, and having her husboar by her side should cheer her up :) x
 
I have got myself 2 old mout ciders to chill out with now, and i have an alarm set for 7am to do the meds. Dot has just had a munch on a load of grass i managed to find down the road a bit. Bernie seems to be laying as near as he can without invading her space lol

I guessed the op price almost right. Its was £290. Thats for the scan and the op and i guess after care? And a post op check.I guessed £300.
 
So glad all went well and that she's happily eating!
Thanks👍👍. I am well pleased I'm not even having to syringe feed yet. I am going to check on her half way through the night though. She was cold when i got her home. But ok now. Shes bundled up like a fluffball, guessing its the op pain.
 
Great news that Dot is doing so well. Hope she continues to recover well from the op.💕

I'm not on-line as much at the moment as I am spending time visiting my friend who is quite poorly. So catching up on everything a bit late.

Will look out for her story on Facebook.

Thankyou! Hope your friend gets better soon!
 
@SkyPipDotBernie so glad Dot is eating and pooping for you. She sounds like a fighter and hopefully will make a speedy recovery. Just make sure she has enough pain meds.

@YvonneBlue sorry to hear about your friend. Hope she makes a good recovery
Thankyou👍. Yea we took the pain meds we had left to the vets, and they said yeaaaa thats plenty and its not long been opened anyway.
 
So pleased to hear that Dot is continuing to do so well. I saw Dot's story on Facebook today. Such a shame they didn't mention that she is a guinea pig. 🐾
 
Dot looks slimmer than in previous pics with her bad lady lumps removed but much perkier, hope she has a smooth recovery! X

She has gone from having a pear shape to now looking like a young shaped pig again. I will be watching her weight though. I do expect her to be a bit lighter now, because she wasnt eating as much hay with the lump in her and now it has gone and her appetite still needs to improve to be 100% again. But she should put it back on again.she used to be about 1.1kg ( before her illness 1 Year ago) i think. Shes now 960g ish. Give or take
 
Dots progress is even better this morning. I am very happy, she's full on begging and pushing Bernie out the way to get it lol. Right I'm going back to bed zzzZzzzz.

I weighed her last night and she is now 920g. Which is her lowest weight of what has been anyway. So not worried unless she drops below it. Which i very much doubt she will.

Before the op for around a year she would go between 920g and 990g ish. Just because she had good and bad days with sometimes laying around in discomfort. Her weight in theory should climb now
