zoe is still syringe feeding though OH caught her eating straw or hay. still clean bottoms, weather is now cooler YAY YIPPEE! so will see if zoe now eats more by herself. will keep you all posted. cats are home will update their post in other pets. hugs and cuddles :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-*
 
awwww well thats good that she's having a nibble by herself O0 maybe give her a little less syringe food and watch carefully to see if she eats by herself as maybe she's just full from what you're giving her ;) although obviously if she doesn't eat by herself you'll need to feed her again O0 ohhhh yay! :D glad she still has clean bottoms! :smitten: :smitten: yay i'm so happy, i know she's not fully there by any means, but it's all good progress :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: bless her :smitten: ahhh so glad the weather is cooler for you and her! ok, shall go and look glad they're at home :-* (((HUGGLES AND PIGGIE KISSES FOR YOU AND ZOE))) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :-* :-*
 
how's little zoe doing today? (((HUGS))) hoping she's doing well for you :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
she is doing the same though caught her having a sip of water :smitten: she is eating the parsley and spinach and pellets and timothy hay, but not much of the oaten hay or straw. went to get a bale of straw before easter and there was none and no deliveries till after easter :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: think maybe all the straw went to oakbank for the easter races which should be BANNED. 3 times round the track up hill and down hill and 12 jumps by 3 times the horses at the finish are pooped. this so cruel! :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: so when you pick zoe up you can tell she has put on a bit of weight. :smitten: still have not heard from our vet :tickedoff: will give you posted. more good news we are having 8C tonight lovely and cool and snuggle weather! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: hugs and cuddles to you all. :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-* kuckily for zoe she has the cooling rack seperating her from jessie as jessie is on heat again wobbling the rump, growling the whole works. would have thought at 1.7 years old jessie's hormones would have stopped by now! :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: girls sheesh! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
I'm so happy that Zoe is getting better! That is great news! :D :D :D :D And I'm sorry to hear about your cats..(I have 2 cats also). Boy, it's so hard when your pets get sick. (Luckily I've had good luck with my cats health after so many years!) Unlike Ricky who's always sick! Is it serious with your cats teeth? I hope all goes well. And I'm really happy to hear that it's cooled off in Australia. I'm not sure of the temperature conversion here, but I hope it's cool enough for Zoe to be comforable! Good going Zoe! Keep that little bottom clean! ;) ;) ;) ;)
 
Glad to hear she's no worse :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: come on zoe! YAY! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
put all that weight on and keep that bottie clean! ;D :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: (((HUGS)) :smitten: :smitten:
 
have added small amounts of brocoli, celery leaf to her diet and will see how she goes. so far you can feel she has put on a little weight. still clean bottoms, will finish baby food and then see how she goes on her own. if she continues after this to improve then will take barrier down and let zoe and jessie together again. will keep you posted. thanks for all your replies and well wishes. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
awww i'm so happy for you and her, glad it's still going well! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
she's such a fighter, bless her! :smitten: :smitten: GO ZOE! :D well done both of you for getting her here :smitten: :smitten:
hope she contines to eat on her own, still have clean bottoms and keep putting on weight :smitten: and hopefully her and Jessie can be together again :smitten:
 
ZOE :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
This is awesome news that she's now progressed to other foods O0 O0 O0
and a clean butt too :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
Didn't i say to you one day you'll all of a sudden notice that things have improved, i'm so so pleased and over the moon for you both and for little Zoe :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
I bet the girls will be thrilled to be back together again :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
sadly, whether it was the brocoli or the crappy straw zoe had a dirty bottom today. as glynis knows went to get a bale of straw wednesday there were none so the guy charged me $3.00 for a bag. the straw is kept in a shed and the mongrel swept the shed floor and put the crumbs into the bag. :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: so for now have taken brocoli out of her diet, if she still has a dirty bottom will have to give her all hay as bedding and see if that helps. so after 24 clean bottoms back to zero. :'( :'( :'( she is still eating by herself especially the celery, but a still syringe feeding her. will keep you posted. enjoy your good friday. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-*
 
awww mary you're not back to square 1! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: just take out the broccoli and see how you go, at least now you know she will have claen bottoms you just have to be so careful :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten
poor you, you really are going through it! :'( :-* :-* :-* ((Sending gentle hugs and piggie kisses for you and zoe)) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: zoe couldn't ask for a better mum! :smitten:
 
Sounds like you're doing a really good job with Zoe. One mucky bum might just be a one-off, more than likely due to the broccoli. Just give her time to adjust. At least you know clean bums are possible!

Sending love from Clover to Zoe. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: I think they are two of a kind! :)
 
Well, Zoe is still eating. Maybe she's just still not quite there yet. Maybe she will have a couple of dirty bottoms before she is 100% well. She has come so far (so have you!), so don't be discouraged. As long as she's eating, that's a good sign. I'll check in again and hope to hear her poops are ok! C'mon Zoe.....your mommy needs a good rest! Feel better little Zoe! :smitten: :-* :smitten: :-* :smitten: :-* :smitten: :-*
 
yeah come on lil girl you can do it! You've come so far and mummy needs a rest! :D :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
How is she today? ((Sending hugs and piggie kisses from me and my mob)) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :-*
Thinking of you :-*
 
well we have had 4 clean bottoms since the brocoli debacle. we ran out of baby food and am syringe feeding her mashed pellets but am finding it hard to get them to suck up into the syringe. zoe is chewing on the towel when we wipe her mouth and has now started to chew on the syringe. she is still getting hay, straw, grass, parsley, celery leaf plus the pre boiled water. we would like to wish everyone a happy easter, may gods love shine on you all 0:) 0:) 0:) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: thank you for all your replies, help, advice and support. it means so much to us. :-* :-* :-* :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Hiya Mary, glad you have had so many clean bottoms!
You have a good easter too, put your feet up and enjoy the chocolate, and give Zoe a hug from me and the pigs!
 
on the recount zoe has had 7 clean bottoms since the brocoli debarcle she is still hovering on 2lbs or 900grams, guess she will never be over 1000grams again. she is eating her parsley, grass, celery leaf,bananna in skin. hoping this means zoe tummy is finally recovering and her hormones are returning to normal. if she continues as she is might take her to the vet and see what they recomend. will keep you posted and zoe saids for everyone have some easter eggs on her behalf as she is watching her figure. sending hugs and cuddles :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-* as for my figure i am watching it too watching it go all over the place. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
 
zoe is still clean, eatring syringed pellets, plus hay, grass, parsley and celery leaf. she has put on a teeny bit of weight, have caught her drinkinjg a bit of water. she is still chewing the towel and nibbling at us as well. will keep you posted. thanks for all replies. hugs and cuddles. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-*
 
So pleased to hear about Zoe, eating, clean bottoms, weight gain too! :smitten: Well done for all your hard work.
 
zoe update, little miss has decided she has had enough of the syringe feeding she just keeps head butting the syringe away or taking it in her mouth and trying to throw it away. will keep up with the pre boiled water but will see how she goes eating on her own. added brocoli again to her diet and so far(touching wood) still clean bottom. she is due to be weighed today so will see how she goes with that. thanks for all your replies, wishes and advice :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
been busy today for some reason zoe has decided to have soft poops again-NO change to diet! she also has a teeny sore on her private part but a clear discharge has been coming from her nose like water. zoe is still eating, and appears happy. sorry i have not been on for a few days but lost one of our fur babies wednesday and haven't had the heart to come on and still haven't as saying goodbye on here seems so final. :'( :'( :'( both missy the cat and zoe go to the vets tomorrow so will post an update.
 
Sorry to hear Zoe is feeling under the weather Mary. Always around if you need a chat. You have been in my thoughts over the weekend, hope you are ok. x
 
getting there slowly have put post in for gypsy in rainbow pets, it is like losing her all over again, the tears are streaming down. hoping zoe and missy who go to the vet tomorrow get the all clear. it is a shame the vet came to late for gypsy. :'( :'( :'( hoping the water coming from zoe's nose isn't anything serious as i don't think i coulod take anymore. thanks for your kind words they mean alot. hoping your babies are well. hugs and cuddles. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
haven't heard from the vet yet, firstly zoe, she was weighed and she weighs 9.57grams according to the vet which is nearly back to her pre surgery weight.been sitting here for over half an hour trying to catch a urine sample from zoe, finally got one, she is also on protexin for 12 days as she was given 2 packets half a packet in 3 days. also zoe has had clear discharge from her nose,(once every week or two) so much to her anger they forced her mouth open with this tool and found one of her molars was growing on an angle so on monday she is booked in to have it filed down. if all goes well it will cost around $60.00 but more if they have to sedate her.
now for missy, they weren't happy with her fur, lose, dandruff, matted, though she is brushed every day. then when they pull the skin and let it go it took a while for it to return which means missy is dehydrated, then they stuck a needle into her bladder and took a urine sample, then shaved her neck and took blood sample from her jagular. am waiting for kirsten to email me back with the results. i am so :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: as we take our animals to the vet and they don't pick up these things, and the poor animals suffer like poor gypsy. :'( :'( :'( 0:) 0:) 0:)
i feel so sorry for zoe, she loves brocoli, gives her soft poops, tried her on bean shoots which she loves-soft poops, tried her on cauliflower-soft poops, corrainder, basil, dill, mint-soft poops. :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :'( :'( :'(
will let you know when we hear from vet but she did say missy was a sick little girl so that means gypsy was too and i am so :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: the vet didn't pick up on it! as took the cats in on march 6th for vaccination, and again on march 18th for their teeth surgery, this vet has cost us 5 guinea pigs, 1 dog and now gypsy and maybe even missy. so i am really :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: will update when kirsten emails me missy's results. hugs and cuddles :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
i really hope your ok? It must be so stressful for you at the moment. Hope the results go well. xx
 
Hi Choloe....I'm trying to post here, but my stupid computer keeps booting me off. It's been doing it. Sometimes I have to reply 3 or 4 times. I'm typing quickly to get this through. First off, I am so, so sorry that poor little Zoe is still not recovered. The poor little girl has been through a long process. My heart breaks for Zoe and for yourself. Is there any other vet you can take her to? This one seems to be not the best. You've lost too many pets. I wish Zoe would get well. I hope once her teeth are filed that she feels better. I would think they would have to sedate her. I can't imagine how she would stay still. Either way, I hope she gets well. Poor thing. Also, I'm sorry if I missed what you said, but are Gypsy and Missy cats? I never did get your cats names. Gypsy is the one that passed away? I am so sad for you that I want to cry. I'm so sorry. I know you must be so upset. How old was she? Was she sick? I'm saying a little prayer for you, that the pain eases soon. It is so upsetting to lose an animal. I have two cats and one (she's almost 12) has lost so much weight. When you pet her, all you feel is bones. Pretty badly. But she's active and eats a ton, so maybe it's old age? I would be devestated to lose her. She's my beautiful baby. So I really sympathize with you. It must be very, very painful. It's ok to cry. I cried 3 days straight when my dog died. It's 20 years and I still feel sad when I think of him! So it's perfectly normal to cry a lot of losing your pet. You need to take some time to really take of yourself. Love to you and Zoe and all your beautiful pets. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
hoping your computer connection gets better soon annie. the vet where we lost so many animals was a different vet to the one we saw today and who has been treating zoe since early january.
the vet said she would email me missy's results from her urine and bloods but as yet have not heard from them as they were doing the test there at the surgery and would ask if i wanted the thyroid test done for a further $78.00 or 42 pounds. i keep trying to tell myself no news is good news. OH has to go to vet today to drop off zoe's urine that is in the fridge so maybe he'll find out something then. will update you as soon as i know anything.
thanks for your replies and wishes :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: zoe is on protexin but her poops are a mess so she is back to grass and hay and will see how she goes. i might try to syringe feed her again and see if that helps. thanks again. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
So sorry to catch up on all of this, you poor thing - wish there was something else I can do other than say I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way....

I really hope you see some improvement soon - keep us updated

Sending big hugs

Sophie
