Bleeding from anus

Not so much a thread but just to ask if you can say a 10 second prayer for my beloved Holly who is seriously ill tonight.

She is my little darling girl who needs your prayers.


"This prayer is for Holly girl,
So gentle and sweet,
Carry her through this difficult time,
To health and happiness,
And return her to mum and sisters".


My beloved Holly (owned from only 4 weeks old from rescue centre but now 17 months old) is bleeding from the anus. Upon seeing the blood this morning I rushed her to the `Cambridge Cavy Trust` who are experts on cavy care. It was sad to leave her but I know she`s in the worlds best care centre.

Holly has never been alone and has always been with her mum and 6 sisters so its a lonely time for her. The early diagnosis is that it might be a sharp `foreign` body causing the bowel to bleed. Perhaps a piece of wood, however, it might be any number of things ...... poison, cancer, liver probs. More tests are due tomorrow (if she survives the night).

Just in case it is a piece of wood stuck in her gut I`m going to paint with `mustard mixed with vinegar` on all the hutches and wooden runs tomorrow -> on the bits where they chew. I`m so mad with myself for not doing it earlier.

I pray she doesnt die of shock tonight.

I`m thinking about my beloved Holly all the time - all alone in a strange place without her mum and sisters around her. :(

^ i'm sure she won't feel lonely, she'll be getting constant care and will be able to hear other piggies around her, so i wouldn't worry about that
i hope she gets better and is home with you soon <3 sending lots of hugs from me and my three pigs x
 
I will say a special prayer for Holly tonight. She will be well looked after at the CCT and will have plently of piggies roundbout to keep her company. The staff will be there to choueck on her constantly. It will be along night for you but the CCT really is the best place for a poorly piggy.

Holly sweetheart, please get better for your mum. She misses you very much and wants you back home with the family. Get well soon little one
 
How is Holly?

I wish you all the best.
 
As reported back to me at 1pm today. My dear Holly got through the night without bleeding to death. She was observed every 3 hours throughout the night by Vedra of the CCT. I`m so greatful to them.

Holly is on fluids, being fed and on various `cavy safe` drugs. The bleeding has stopped for the time being but they still don`t know what is causing it. More tests are due. Its still uncertain of the outcome.

Thank you for all your prayers and good wishes. You are all so kind.

(I wish I lived nearer so I could call in to see her but I`m 60 miles away).

Thank you all,

Anders.
 
Sending lots of positive vibes her way, I hope they can find the cause of the bleeding soon.
 
Thanx all. You are so kind. Its lovely to get such kind words of support. I`ll let you know how about Holly in an hour or so. I`m due a new report in about an hour from CCT.

Anders, xx
 
Latest news is that the bleeding has stopped but lost a lot of blood. She is eating via suringe and able to move around a little on her own.

I`m so happy I can kiss you all.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about Holly, but glad she is on the track to recovery! Thinking of you and her :)
 
So glad to hear that the bleeding has stopped! At least you know that Holly is in the best hands possible.

Lots of vibes for a good recovery!
 
Great news. Holly is going to be discharged on Friday because she has made such an amazing recovery. We are picking her up from the CCT hospital on Friday. We are all exstatic at home with happiness.

What a wonderful lady Vectra from the CCT is - so professional and caring. Holly couldn`t have been in better hands.

Holly`s mum and sisters will wonder where she`s been. I`ll have to take some of her `floor family straw` with me so that she can get the scent on her before being put back with the family.

A special BIG thank you to all who said the special prayer on Monday night and Tuesday morning. I feel sure there was divine intervension delivered from your prayers. I can`t thank you all enough.

Its still early days and plenty of nursing is needed. We still don`t know what caused the bleeding after extensive tests - we hope it won`t return.

Best wishes to all for your kind support through our difficult time. I`m going post a picture of Holly very soon. Also, her mum and sisters.

Anders :)p

Anders :))
 
Holly is back home tonight and has made a miraculous recovery. She`s back with mum and 6 sisters living the high life again eating cucumber, carots and hay / grass. Life couldn`t be better.

Sorry about no picture of Holly yet, I`m still trying to work it out.

A special thank you again for all your good wishes and prayers for my beloved Holly. I`m so happy.

great news. we're all chuffed here...
 
I`ve just noticed a THANX box in all the replies. I`ve clicked them. Sorry for the delay.

Anders. x>>
 
I`ve managed to post a pic of Holly posing with mum and some of her sisters. Holly is the white one with the grey patch. Mum is ginger. I`m always amazed how so many colours emerge from parents and how the pups are so differently coloured.

Oh, the pic is in my album box. Sorry its so large - I`ll have to learn how to do these pic posting right when I`m more settled. My dear Wendy piggy is still in the CCT hospital so I`m not on top form until she comes home.

hi just wondering if you ever found out what was the cause with Holly? As one of my guinea pigs is suffering the same at the moment?
I hope Holly got better.
