Hi everyone

A lot of you have been messaging me asking about Casran so I thought I’d do a new update (hope I’m not taking up too much forum space).

The little chap seems pretty stable – as well as can be expected.

We’ve fallen into a nice routine… I get up early to spend some time with him and do his meds (lots in the morning and it’s a nightmare because he gets fed up and angry). Otherwise he enjoys breakfast on the sofa and then perches on the end of my knee to watch TV.

I’m at work all day but thanks to all the suggestions from forum members here, I’m trying to make his cage a bit more fun:

Note the radio at the end… he loves that. I came home last night and found him sat right next to it absolutely transfixed by a debate on Europe!

When I get home I give him a syringe feed, which sends him into a frenzy of excitement. He doesn’t really need syringe feeding but I put his powdered probiotic in and, somehow, both of us seem to get comfort from the syringe feed together. Last night I got everything ready but it was too hot and Casran was running round and round in circles on the sofa and jumping on the towel on my lap knowing what was coming and not able to contain himself.

He spends the rest of the evening on the sofa with me.

He’s still obviously a very poorly guinea pig. I don’t know which day will be the last day… for now I just kiss him and cuddle him a million times a day and sniff in that Casran smell as much as I can.
 
Hiya, I don't want to appear heartless, but can you please keep all the posts about Casran in the one topic, there must be a dozen or so now on the one piggy, thanks for your understanding. :tu:

No need to be sorry, plus it has the added advantage of everything being in the one place so our health and illness contributors don't miss anything important. ;)
 
Huge hugs to you, you're doing everything humanly possible for your sweet Lion, and he couldn't have wished for a better person than you. :hug:
He's had several life-times of love already, and hopefully knowing that you did everything for him, and that he has felt all of this love, will be a comfort to you when that sad day comes xx
 
You're doing great, really.
It's lovely to hear that even in such a hard time he runs, or even jumps into you. He's indeed enjoying your time together, I'm sure that's his way of showing how much he loves you!
Sending big big hugs.
 
I have to admit it would be easier to have two threads, one for his medical issues and treatment, and one for his updates on how he's feeling, his pictures and what he's been up to. I do think they would be easier to follow.
But better to have updates of the gorgeous Lion on several threads than no updates at all! x
