Thank you ladies! Means a lot! Cocoa, I hope you are feeling better soon little lady! Moore than happy to help in any way I can :)
 
She's being very brave and getting along really well.
Big test tonight. We see what vet honest opinion is and course of treatment or need further looking at with more specialty vet.
Personally from seeing it about 7 / 8 weeks ago it's not got really any worse.
Bless Cocoa she gets on and eating. cleaning and squeaking away.
Her weight is good and this is a mystery. one i/we will keep very close monitoring. xx.20180415_122447.jpgHello. @VickiA . love yer
 
Cocoa was very brave tonight :wub: and she made a lovely impression to all vets & receptionists cos she’s so adorable!
The vets gave another thorough check. Her chest is clear & the little lump on her back is just in her skin. All results have come back clear apart from one we still waiting for. The culture fungal test should be back within a week. Her lip lump is no worse but no better. The next step will be to have her sedated & a biopsy taken.
We going to wait to see what the culture fungal test says before making the biopsy decision.
She’s eating well, wees & poops are fine. Her weight is also good (1097 today on empty tummy)
The vet seemed very thorough to be honest.
We’ll keep you updated
Well done Cocoa for being so brave :wub:.
Pity on you Heidi cos when Cocoa came back, it would have been nice to greet Cocoa before stealing her coriander treats straight away :nod:
 
Well done little Cocoa, sounds like your MOT went very well! Glad the vets loved you! You need extra treats off your slaves tonight!

Hoping the fungal test comes back quickly so you can make a decision on Cocoas lip. Huge hugs to you both guys, you are fab piggy slaves!
 
All Piggies this morning on good form
We did big clean out last night. Fresh everything hay bedding and "old carrot house was sneaked out" replaced with new Chloe was bit miffed but she soon settle with new one.
@Hoppity.K gave all lots tlc except me but lol that's ok. x
 
It's another repeat trip to the vet. A requested one this time. I've collected Cocoa results from the tests. Fungal. Bacteria. Mites. Hair.
Even a skin sample cultivated in a lab for 28 days. DAM all negative
This is not fair and bless her she's doing her best and a lovely tempered piggie.
 
So sorry that you are still left with no results. It can be soooo frustating, can't it?

All the best for your gorgeous lady nevertheless!

8DDC5317-C610-47A7-9736-6E262CE552D1.jpegCocoa has been so brave. Her best friend Heidi has been keeping a close watch on her since she came back.... such love :love:
Cocoa’s had a pedicure (she just puts her paws out & allows them to be cut), a weigh (she’s a good weight... 1102g & her chest is clear.) But her mouth is worse than it was & now this vet is unsure what to do. This vet has admitted that Cocoa needs more specialist help.
We gonna need very specialist treatment. This vet has prescribed metacam (0.5mg/ml for cats) & to give 0.4ml once a day as a precaution (we’ve been there before)
So we stumped... any advice greatly appreciated. We’ve got a whole print out of all tests she’s had done... All negative.
She’s such a gorgeous loving piggy who lives so happily with her other 2 girly friends :wub:
