Thea was at the vets this morning.

[Gem789]

That's so well written.I'm so glad you checked the ingredients and from doing that never gave it to lovely thea.I do think you should get a full refund too and they really need to train their vets properly x

 

[eileen]

I'm pleased you noticed
the error before any harm could happen to Thea.
Thats an excellent complaint email.

 

[Betsy]

I tweaked the email everso slightly with the odd word changed here and there so it read a bit better, got the OH to give it a final proof read and sent it off. I'll let you know when I have an answer.

 

[Minnou]

You learn so much on here!

I would've just given the medicine without even checking it, trusting the vet as I would my own GP.

(p.s. Is this why Miss Bramble doesn't appear to be lurking around the forum as much? Is she busy doing unpleasant things to the vets?)

It is always worth checking any medicines you bring home as mistakes can happen; this mistake was just clicking not neatly on the wanted medication and instead catching adjoining one on the list. It is a very easy mistake for busy people to make.

Unfortunately, it wasn't even that. The vet suggested Synulox straight away. I questioned why not Baytril? and she answered that Synulox was more palatable than Baytril.

Got it in one! She went, along with Misty, as pawholder to Thea.

Miss Bramble is now back in the office having helped me, along with my friend, write the email to the vet.

You Slaves have been warned ........

 

[Roselina]

Oooops we’re very afraid ….very afraid …..

OH NO!

I mean..... YIPPEE!

 

[A Guinea Pig]

It's sad that this whole thing could have been easily prevented. How is Thea doing though after this mess?

 

[Betsy]

Thea is doing OK. Fortunately, she likes her meds so it's easy to give them to her. She has Metacam and Sulfatrim in the morning and Metacam, Sulfatrim and Panacur in the evening.

 

[Truffolo]

It's certainly a warning to all of us, lay and expert alike, for piggy and human meds. Double check meds and the doses. Thank you for sharing this with us

 

[Betsy]

Thea would like to thank all her well wishers

 

[Minnou]

And if you look very carefully, you'll see Miss Bramble holding a tiny sniper rifle, for those who don't wish Thea well.

Gaia, Minerva and I send our love.

(NB: I'm using Gaia and Minerva as piggy body shields)

 

[Betsy]

Thea taught Miss Bramble well. It helps to well connected!

 

[weepweeps]

Glad you are feeling well gorgeous Thea.

 

[Betsy]

Glad you are feeling well gorgeous Thea.

She really is feeling well. She's maintained her weight for the last few days (866g), she's in good spirits and still feisty. She doesn't know she's old or ill old. Thea is just bimbling away doing bimbly piggie stuff.

 

[Minnou]

Bimbly piggies are the best. I like watching Minerva bimble through the kitchen, talking away to herself, then bimble through the hallway searching for any/all of my footwear to chew on... THEN go zooming around the living room whilst screaming before quietly bimbling her way back to Gaia.

She's an odd soul....

What more can you wish for

 

[Betsy]

What more can you wish for

Exactly and I have to remind myself that she is 8 years and 4 months old.

I hope Stripe lives that long. He's doing really well with his CBS. Thea could be his grandma.

 

[Merab]

Glad the lovely Thea is maintaining her feistiness.
Hope the meds are beginning to kick in and help

 

[Betsy]

I'll see if they have tomorrow. This morning there was still some discharge. She has been on her meds for 4 days now.

 

[Merab]

Moses and Miriam send their love and hope Thea is better soon
