Dental Blodwen - dental and ringworm

[Bill & Ted]

I think we are all sat with fingers crossed for little Blodwyn, any news yet?

 

[PigglePuggle]

Still waiting...

 

[Claire W]

Good luck for both you and Blod...I had a similar-ish situation a year ago and the waiting nearly killed me, I can only imagine how you feel right now. Deep breaths, because whatever happens, you've done more than your best.

Was that really a year ago? One of my cats has to go for a dental on 6th December and I’m already bricking it (it’s not urgent) Although I must admit, I worry more over the guinea pigs

Just over, yeah. You should've heard me when the vet called the hospital to say he was good, I whooped so loudly.

Still waiting...

He might've gone into surgery slightly later than 11am. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, between Blod and your mum. You're doing incredibly well.

 

[PigglePuggle]

Called the vets and spent a very anxious 12 minutes on hold... Blod is alive, awake, and can come home at 4pm!

Fantastic news - you must be so relieved!

 

[Merab]

So pleased.
With all the loving care she’s going to get at home she should pull through well.

Will continue to hold you all in thought and prayer

 

[Piggies&buns]

Great news!

 

[PigglePuggle]

I'd best reassemble her cage, I did an F10 blitz on all the grids and clips to keep busy while we were waiting to hear! She's had a skin scrape taken too to see if her ringworm has gone yet.

 

[DMS260820]

YES! BLODWEN! so happy for you and your blod blod. what a great way to start the weekend. Cant wait until we see her join the herd.

 

[PerfectPiggyPaws]

Sooooooo happy for you. I know how desperate you must have been, I'm the same when Rory is in for his teeth to be filed under GA.
Perhaps you could try pumpkin puree and crushed oats in with the critical care to keep little Blodwen going until she is eating well again.
Well done to you all for such devotion to your little furbaby, she is so fortunate that you saved her and are taking the very best care of her.
Really hope it's leaps and bounds forward for you all now xx

 

[PigglePuggle]

I'm going to make sweet potato porridge for her tonight, with sliced grapes because that's her favourite fruit! Plus critical care of course

 

[PigglePuggle]

Clean cage set up, fresh critical care made up, heating on, fleecy piggy sleeping bag warming on the radiator... come on Blod we're waiting for a weekend of cuddles and syringe feeds!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Oh, that’s fab news and such a relief. Hope all goes well now for the lovely bright future for her with your herd x

 

[YvonneBlue]

Fabulous news. That's made my day. x

How long does it take for the results to come back?

 

[VickiA]

Great news. Well done Blod xx

 

[Betsy]

Going away for the weekend and may not be able to log in (am taking laptop as I am hopeful that I'll be able to) so had to find out what had happened to Blodders before I go It's fantastic news that she has got through the op. She'll be right as rain in no time with your tlc.

 

[PigglePuggle]

Here's Blod! She just got home now, she wouldn't syringe feed for the vet or eat spinach although they are sure she should be able to eat now, but they think she's just fussy and scared and wants her piggy daddy...

 

[PigglePuggle]

She's syringe feeding and eating spinach for piggy daddy straight away

 

[PigglePuggle]

The whole dental procedure and GA and ringworm skin scrape test just cost £158 I'm very pleased with that! Though there will be follow up appointments to pay for, I know they are £21 each

 

[Piggies&buns]

Well done Blodwen!
Hopefully not long before she can meet the others now!

 

[Lady Kelly]

Excellent news. We're all behind you Blood, you've got this!

 

[PigglePuggle]

The ringworm test will take 7-10 days to come back clear, and we've to carry on spraying her with mycozole until we get the all clear... but she's alive and eating!

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

What work was done on the teeth? Do they think it could be an ongoing problem, or are they hopeful the teeth will grow properly now?

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

She's syringe feeding and eating spinach for piggy daddy straight away

If you could do multiple"likes" I would - I just love the fact that Blod started eating straight away for piggy daddy. He obviously has such a bond with her. Onwards and upwards Blodwen!

 

[PigglePuggle]

Both sides of her back teeth have had spurs removed, the vet hopes she'll be ok now once she starts eating hay... but no way to know for sure as she never had much hay in her previous life, they hope she will get the idea of hay pretty fast and she has a hay tray full of very soft green meadow hay to start off with if she feels inspired! Think we'll have to wait until she meets the herd and see how fast she picks up normal eating habits...

 

[Betsy]

Well he did save her from what sounds like a Piggy Hell Hole so I suppose it's only natural for her to love Piggy Daddy.
