So pleased she’s doing so well :) sorry brain causing me grief so not been on but very happy to see she’s happy :) xx
 
Dots weight is climbing 😃. After op she was 920g now she has weighed in at 940g.
This is at the same time everynight.

I have noticed lately that Dot is eating all of her poops when on floor time. But Bernie will only eat a few of his own

I wont see her for 3 days now. I'm off to scotland again to dundee. And then in 3 weeks I'm off to northern ireland😣
 
I have my operation booked for the 5th june now. I have an incisional hernia, from when i had my ruptured appendix taken out. I'm so glad i got Dot sorted first, i was scared id be having it when she had hers.
 
What a load of worry for you. First Dot and now you! I shall think of you on 5th June. It's a date etched in my brain as it's Tom's birthday and he will be 17 and taking his first driving lesson (Prov Licence came through today).
 
Dot had what looked like bloat last night and weighed in at 970g. But she wasnt hard, she was still soft and eating 🤔. I have all the meds for it, my vet said its common after spay operations. This morning she was back to normal again. I think though that a certain green is triggering it. So its time to start eliminating which veg. Spinach first i think.
 
Glad beautiful Dot’s ok xx
The only trigger I’ve found with my Rupert are spring greens but he doesn’t have things like spinach being on his low calcium diet.

Glad your op sorted too, hope it all goes well. My grandad was from N Ireland, always wanted to go as still random family over there not seen for years. Try not to worry, just enjoy the scenery that’s not the boring midlands!

Do you always have to go to the vet when Rupert gets bloat? And is he soft sometimes when he has it? Dots seems to get bloat and it doesnt bother her. Shes like some sort if tough monster.

Can i use my phone in Northern ireland and still call England?

Yea midlands does get boring, but Warwick castle is beautiful! 👍
 
He’s only had two! The first time was bad and rushed him straight there, think he had hay stuck up his nose and woke up to him like a little balloon bless him! Thread on here.
The second a few weeks later when he hadn’t had greens in a while, was within half an hour of him eating them, laying looking quite gassy and sad so just gave him metacam and a good belly rub and he didn’t need vet as was ok after a while. (This is in the last few months, one thing after another with him recently!)
Suppose it depends how she looks/feels.

It’s lovely escaping though and getting to a beach! No idea about phone sorry!

Take it her scar’s looking good and healing well?

Makes sense. He probably couldnt breathe well through his nose, so swallowed some air? I have a home trick for bloat which is safe but il only do it if i really cant get my pigs to a vet atall.( it worked very fast)

Yea true escaping to the beach is pretty nice👍.

Yep scar looking good and her fur is like stubbly now instead of just skin

Yeah was very strange, completely normal then 7 hours later a piggy balloon passing brown liquid out of his nose! What home trick’s that!?! Know elec toothbrushes are great and all that! :)

Brilliant Dot’s scar looking good and she’s beating up carrot cottages :)
 
Dot is at the vets as i speak for her post op check and to see what the mass had in it, cancer or something like that. Hope not

Yea very relieved. Thanks👍. It has been a long journey getting her diagnosed and sorted. She had the problem for a year almost, the symptoms matched cystitis and uti's and intertestial cystitis, bladder stones.

It wasnt until the tumour was big enough that the vet could feel it . Thats when the diagnosis was correct
