She's ok. not right but now 4 days into her drugs lol. weather not helping as piggies are dopy more sleepy.
She was lovely this am. Got to catch her and we have this game of not eating because daddy slave makes me.
I'm a bully. :whistle:
 
Just catching-up with this thread. Chloe seems to have a lot going on but it looks like you have an excellent vet who goes the extra mile for your piggies. Sending healing vibes from us and the herd. Hope you are ok too. :)

I assume that your vet is on the list of recommended vets, so that others here on the forum can get access to this high standard of care. xx

Hello. Thanks for message. Chloe is testing but as you and others here we do what we can.
She's had meds and wobble about and having a munching competition with Heidi before sleeping takes over.

As for putting the vet on I'm not sure if that's up to me or need the vet permission etc.

She was good taking her meds and supplement early days but now she's not interested so I catch her with a cosy and we have a cuddle and i tell her I love her so much and in 5 mins you be back with Heidi.
I'd love to take a photo but 1 hand holds her against a cusion and other is holding the syringe so it's not possible. She's a true love.
Just for you a photo ok. 20190708_073722.jpg
 
Oh bless her. I would never have got a photo with Donald when I was syringing him either. He would take a very small amount willingly and then it was down to me to make sure he did which involves both hands. Keep going Dave, you can do this and Chloe knows from your actions how much you love her

I understand what you mean .1st bit emmmemmm yummy then OH NO. :vom:
 
Hello Chloe is about week into her meds she's had about 85% of it 10% Heidi who is so forceful when it appears and 5% down chin.
I love her to put weight on but it's not happening yet not rapid loss as before it's slowin down I hope.
She's active eating and with Heidi being normal etc.

20190711_205620.webpWith Heidi watching me mix meds and food up. love um so much. :luv:
 
I'm an so very very embarrassed :wub::wub::wub: and going to be honest.
I cleaned piggies out last Sunday . . the works.
All week main job is to give Chloe her meds and have done. Then I swop veg to fresh etc. And Hay is rammed into a house where Chloe starts at one side Heidi at the other and munch away until they meet.
I just now realised :hb: I've not replaced the biccys pellets dish and all week they had none.
Looks who catching up on her fab pellets 20190712_170814.jpg
yes @VickiA that's the old carrot house top.
Chloe I'm so sorry I'm trying to make you better and gain weight and i stupidly done this.
Look who's having some now. 20190712_171332.jpg
That's Chloe bum in her end of the tunnel.
I know biccys are not main food but dam. to see your piggie munch away for 15 mins means she's really trying.
Sorry Piggies

I'm sad guys. Chloe is off her food and generally not being herself.
Weight loss also. .
She's still with Heidi and she's ok.
I notice as we all do a change in our piggies and after a day or so they back to normal.
Chloe is defo not right course I'm now worried like hell.

Aww , she's adorable!
 
What's more important is you love Chloe and Heidi and are trying to do your best by them in stressful situation and working at the same time. You can't remember everything.
 
Pellets are a TINY part of their diet, so as long as they hay and veggies keep coming the piggies really aren’t bothered. Beautiful photos of the ladies.
 
Aw what lovely photos of your beautiful girls :)

Don't worry about the nuggets, it was a genuine mistake and they only make up a teenie weenie part of the diet. I'm sure Chloe and Heidi are more bothered about the hay and veggies :)

You're doing an amazing job and going above and beyond for your girls 💗
 
David you are doing a wonderful job, nuggetts don't really matter in the scheme of things. When you are worried about a sick piggie and have lots to do including holding down employment it's very hard to remember everything. I am suffering from sick piggie syndrome, today I put an empty washing machine on! There it was full of bubbles singing away to itself with no washing, I can't stop my new machine mid cycle and turn it off either so I had to wait for it to finish! I can still do silly things like this with no job to go to as I'm retired and my time is the piggies.

Well at least that washing machine will be sparkling clean, even if the clothes are not 😆
 
You are doing a wonderful job of looking after your girls. A few missed nuggets won't make any real difference.🐾

Aw dont worry Dave we all do things like that, last weekend I was hurrying with the cage clean out and I forgot to put the furniture back in the main cage! I left it all on the floor next to the cage, 3 hours later I went back to 6 pairs of accusing piggy eyes all staring out at their hideys on the wrong side of the bars...

I can actually beat this admission. A couple of years ago during one deep cage clean after work I put three pesky piggies into 2 pet carriers with hay. After the cage was ready I plonked 2 pet carriers back in and opened the doors and left them to it and went to bed. (I often used to leave the carriers in as extra hideys and to make it easier to catch them and transport them to vets etc). Next morning I came downstairs and heard the most indignant wheeking coming from the dining room, where, on the floor I found a pet carrier with one very cross sow sitting inside. Turned out I’d picked up the spare empty carrier the night before. She was furious with me, as she’d been inna carrier on her own with nothing but hay all night. She soon forgave me when I put her back in with the others and a lovely pile of breakfast veggies!
