I'm sad to say that George is no longer with us. When we got to the vets we discussed the options and due to his condition, which has deteriorated drastically, we were advised that it would be best for him to be put to sleep. I feel bad, but am also glad that he had lots of cuddles in the days...

That is a little far to be honest, but thankyou. He has started to be in agony again so we have booked him in with Bay Vet group for the op tomorrow but they have advised it will be £200 for the op and £25 for the consultation. That seems alot to me and it is also quite a distance to travel...

Thankyou. We are willing to travel if it increases his chances so thank your for the recommendation. Any more?

George has a bladder stone. He had an x-ray last week and they noticed it was stuck in his urethra so he went in the next day to see if they could get it out with a catheter or something. They couldn’t, but they managed to push it back into his bladder. The vet did initially say he was going...

Can someone please give advice. George seems to be fine in himself now, not showing pain when pooing, or squeaking when weeing and i cannot see any traces of red wee (havnt seen any for a couple of days now). The problem is that he seems to have lost his appetite. he is interested in food but...

She was pressing and rubbing against his bladder to see if he seemed in any pain. She said he should be in some discomfort if he had stones due to them moving about and rubbing. he didnt though so i dont know

Just an update. He doesnt seem to be in any pain anymore and the redness seems to have gone from his wee. We are contuing with the Baytrill (mixed with cranberry juice) and he is drinking his water bottle (which has the probiotic in it). he seems to be better in himself, but he still isnt...

Thank you all for your responses. I will carry on with the prescribed course of baytrill and if he shows no signs of getting better i will request an x-ray on Wednesday to hopefully rule out bladder stones. Just a question on those who have mentioned Septrin and Metcam? Can i use the Septrim...

Thanks for your response. He only showed a lot of discomfort on the Saturday night. He has never been like that before or since i dont think. i was wondering whether it was because he ate so much of the recovery food and he got his bowels in overdieve. he does still squeak sometimes but not as...

Hi, Apologies as I havnt posted in awhile, but I have some concerns over one of my piggies George. We noticed last Monday that he seemed in pain while defecating and weeing and that his wee was red. We took him to the vets on the Tuesday as we thought it was either bladder stone or a UTI...

I'm on Victoria dock. I take the to haven vets. The have a lot of foreign locums but the usual guy I back to tomorow. He has eaten some fresh veg today an has been munching on his Timothy hay quite a bit but still giving h his feed. Yeah he has been getting the pro c probiotic to make sure...

I meant 2.5%. we were giving him 0.25ml twice daily but stopped last night when he got diarrhea. I'm in hull. The vet that Is good is back next week. He took a little bit of lettuce and came out for a second piece but still isn't back to normal. Would it e dental if he isn't drinking water- he...

Sharkey stopped eating 5 weeks ago. Vet his molar were a bit long and sharp so got them sorted and was feeding supreme recovery for the next 2 weeks. It took him a long time to get eating normally, but did return to his normal self and was eating normally. The odd day he did seem a bit funny but...

I was weighing Sharkey and he just came out and said; "Will you be honest with me? I really need to know the Truth! Does this bowl make my Bum look big? The pringles are mine btw not his.

I think (touch wood) he is ok now. He has gradually got his appetite back since the weekend. Still not seeing him visibly eating his pellets but not bothered as been giving him fresh veg and lots of grass & dandelion leaves. I stopped giving him the rescue feed just incase that was 'filling him...

How long can it take for thento start eating normally again after having teeth done. Just weighed him again and he is about the same weight. He was really fighting with his brother to get **** out of his bum last night. Is there anything I can give him?

Well we've been giving him the supreme rescue and have just today bought some pro-c pro-biotic for his water to help his gut. Just wondered wether small poos were a sign of an imapction or something similar, or if its jsut down to his lower food intake. Just a note. We weighed him last night...

Update: He seems to be eating a little more fresh stuff, but still not visibly eating any pellets. We've been weighing him and he seems to have put on a little bit so seems like hes getting enough. Giving him about 10-20 ml of rescue just in case. The thing is, he has started to poo a little...

Thanks. Took him to the vets and they said to keep going with the Supreme rescue and gave him a shot of metoclopromide syrup 1ml to stimulate hit gut and hope to stimulate his appetite. Got him weighed and he was 1.18kg, which I was impressed with as he hasn't really eaten since Friday. Vet...

Well hes not eating again. Gave him some lettuce and a bit of carrot which he nibbled a bit, but then went back in his house. Managed to feed him 7ml of rescue, but going to vets to get some more. Does anyone have experience of this? The vet said there was no damage to his mouth, so should he...
