...be writing this this week, but we sadly and very suddenly lost Tomie on Halloween morning. She was 3.5 years old. She had an underlying thyroid condition that we were treating and were thankful that she was finally starting to gain some weight... on Saturday night I noticed her breathing...

Please be careful about resurrecting old threads. This is from two years ago and the original poster never came back. It would be better to start your own thread. I'm sorry for your loss 😞

...all those symptoms came back and she dropped over 100g instantly. So of course I took her back to the vet. The vet felt a hard lump on her thyroid so did an ultrasound guided needle aspiration, they said it's consistent with sadly a tumour, which is likely cancerous, so she has been given...

...general vets for an emergency pts today to spare him any further unnecessary suffering. :( He developed a runaway cancerous tumour in the thyroid area over the turn of the year which also increasingly pushed on his windpipe and through that created a major strain on his heart. The tumour...

...do the extra sweet stuff and weigh in the am. Tabitha saw Ellie this morning and whilst she has probably fl got some heart failure due to the thyroid problem she appears to be ‘in really good condition and to have a good quality of life’ so whilst she will be on meds for life she doesn’t need...

Thyroid issues can happen but they are not the most common of problems and medical treatment is only now slowly moving from ad-hoc experimental to a more standardised form for guinea pigs. Ellie knows what she is doing as she must have seen more thyroid issues than us on here and be up on the...

She's beautiful ❤️. She sounds a very determined lady, such a strong character. I wish vets listened to us owners more sometimes 😞

...them that, you have not failed them in any way. You certainly haven't. I have just lost my three years old Tudur to a runaway tumour in the thyroid area that developed over the turn of the year. It's upsetting and hurtful but it is one of these random 'out there' things you cannot choose and...

We lost our 3.5-year-old girl, Tomie, suddenly on the morning of Halloween. She was being treated for hyperthyroidism since July, we were working on getting her methimazole dosing balanced. In the month before she died, we finally hit a balance where she was maintaining and even gaining some...

All the best!

...vet work for a local Guinea pig rescue) painkillers, loosing a tooth, being hand fed, he had to be put down, he was due to go in for X-ray, thyroid test and biopsy (both boys had developed lumps I guess caused from their rescue situation) . Day before surgery he started peeing blood, he had...

BIG HUGS The sudden losses that you cannot brace for are always so hard to take... They leave you shaken and questioning yourself whether there was anything you have missed or done wrong - which of course you haven't. It can and does happen just like that. I lost my Maelona under similar...

I forgot to say he has also had a blood test for hos thyroid and that's normal aswell

...in March 2023. A rather badly grieving Heilin returned to her new family. Tudur sadly died over the turn of his year from a runaway thyroid tumour, so Carys and Heilin moved in with Brangwyn, Beti and Begyw and not long after were joined by Esme. However, after Llelo's widow Melangell...

I understand. So it’s common for them to be really healthy and then get an illness that takes them? Before that she never had any problems. Like right before she had a URI(not UTI) but was fine after a few weeks. Apart from that when I took her in to get an annual physical she was fine every...

...It came back normal which was a relief as I had convinced myself she had kidney failure which would mean palliative care. I asked about thyroid and he said that’s a separate test but that usually other markers would flag up in the test he did which were not present. He also checked her...

I had this happen about 12 years ago, a 2 year old male, 3 lber…then dropped weight slowly..increased water intake…it ended up being thyroid disease and meds took care of it and he did fine til he passed at 5 1/2! Something to rule out for sure! Kay in Fla, raising these guys for 14 years, down...

While I wouldnt say it was cheap (small bit of change from £42) I have a feeling they aren't charging me what they should, to be fair! Fingers crossed you can get a prescription for it :)

...the area several times a day. The vet felt that was part of him not taking in nutrients from the food, which is why we initially thought thyroid issues. Huge amounts of poop, not in pellets but in mushy masses. He eats a LOT (pellets, timothy hay, alfalfa and fresh veggies), so I do not see...

...causing these symptoms and that there will be treatment available to help her. Thanks for your advice. We'll see how the appointment goes tomorr Thank you for your advice. The vet did rule out diabetes with an ear prick test last week. I will mention hyper-thyroid to them. Thanks again. ow.
