Silk's not eating. She's sitting hunched in a corner. She has nasal discharge.

I'm phoning the out of hours vets.

Healing vibes please & anything I can do to help her feel better in the mean time. She's on Meloxicam for arthritis, would a little extra be ok? She normally only has 0.2ml at night.
 
I've mushed up some pellets with boiled water & am trying to give her some via syringe, but she's fighting it! She's still her feisty self, which is encouraging.
 
I’m sending healing vibes to Silk. I hope you get an appointment soon.
 
I’m so sorry that she’s giving you cause for concern. I hope that you can get her seen soon and find out what is causing her to be poorly.

Fingers very firmly crossed!

Here are our emergency, crisis and bridging home care tips for helping your piggy in addition to any necessary vet care: Emergency, Crisis and Bridging Care until a Vet Appointment
 
The vet has given me Fibreplex and something I assume is the equivalent of Critical Care.

She's had a bit, and I found a tiny soft poo, so keep those fingers crossed.

Thanks for all the well wishes xx
 
Sadly, when I went to check her about an hour after the above post, she had gone. Rainbow Bridge post to follow.
 
I am so sorry. Massive hugs to you x x

Sleep well little Silk

I’m sorry to hear that. You did all you could ♥️
 
Oh, I’m so sorry! You did all you could, and that’s what matters! She will be forever eating grass and dandelions over the rainbow 🌈 😊🥺
