I have two piggies slowly loosing weight with one of the two having randomly dropped 70g this week. I'm going to try and sort a vet trip if there's no improvement at tomorrow mornings reweigh. 923g is very small for her as she used to be way over 1.1kg though has been more round the 1.05kg mark recently. She is 3 so neither young nor old. She's had an ovariectomy in Jan 2020 and a uri in February 21 but otherwise usually healthy. My elderly cat is booked for a pts tomorrrow at 12 and my exotics vet is doing it (carparked 😳) so I'm going to contact them in the morning and see if theres any chance they can see nugget at the same time (but will understand if not) if there's no gain in the morning (hoping it's just scale gremlins). Flower is 16 months and her weight loss is gradual from 800g to 704g over 2 months but she's always been small and its so gradual it's less concerning. if there's no improvement in the morning I am going to see if she can also have a check booked in at some point. How strange and how absolutely terrible timing. 😫 Really hope this is just a one off and there's improvement in the morning.
 
Got both piggies booked in at 11:15 so just going a little earlier, I haven't even been to sleep, what a blooming week 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤔😫
 
You’re doing exactly the right thing getting her checked over. Good luck x
 
Flower is absolutely fine, nugget has a lump in her bladder area which could be a stone, if she starts squeek weeing or weeing blood she might need an x Ray 💖
 
Hope everything works out ok .
Well done getting them seen so promptly.
They are lucky piggies having you to care for them

Hi I had one of my piggies last year and they started loosing weight fact and took him to the vet turned out he had a serious uti and the vet told be to be prepared for the worst it got that bad it was a hell of alloy of money I spent but deffo worth it get them to the vets as fast as possible xx
 
Thankyou they were seen today, the vet wasn't concerned at all with flower 🌸 didn't sound at all concerned when we turned up with either of them just got to keep an eye on nugget as she may have a stone 💖
Babybelle went peacefully they allowed us all to be in the car park with her 💗

Oh thank god there both alright xx
 
Sorry to hear you’ve had a stressful time with both piggies losing weight! Good you got them checked. Diego, my boar, has suffered with IC for over a year now and a couple of months ago gradually dropped 60/70g and we also found out it was a bladder stone! Being a boy they suggested getting it removed ASAP so it didn’t cause a blockage in his tubes. After the op we found that he had 3 small stones and 2 larger ones. Thinking of you and your girl x
