Mr slave sneaked a quick cuddle with Fudge. Unfortunately he’s cottoned onto the eye drop routine so doesn’t come to me! He’s usually in the bedroom area when they hear me opening to give them breakfast or dinner but now stays the other side 🤣🙄View attachment 184425

Ollie says he's noticed the leaves that handsome silver piggies get are much bigger at your house, he'll be right round :)
 
It’s been a long while since I’ve updated this thread. Sorry to disappoint but no pigtures I’m afraid. Coco is still missed. I still wonder what I could have done different. All normal I guess.

Chanel is still doing brilliantly. In fact she’s letting me stroke her now! We are on one waiting list and I’ll be contacting some other rescues in due course. Hopefully she’ll have a friend by the summer 🤞🏾

In other human news, my son had a severe outbreak of eczema in January. It’s getting better but slowly. So that’s also been keeping me busy as well as life in general.

I hope your sons eczema clears up quickly. Life is busy. Glad the piggies are ok.
 
Good to see you back.
It’s a shame when life gets in the way.
Hope things work out for Chanel and you can find her a lovely companion.

Sorry to hear about your son. Eczema can be miserable.
My husband used to suffer really badly until we discovered he had some food intolerances, especially to wheat and dairy.
If you haven’t already done so some allergy tests may help your son.

Luckily the doc agreed to allergy testing. He was found to be highly allergic to egg white, shrimp, blue mussels (how random!), cows milk and soya milk! He’d been having the latter all this time. 😬 hopefully that will be out of his system soon!

What milk will you be giving your son now? Oat milk? Almond milk?

He’s now having almond milk. He ate it with oats today so I’m hoping that will be alright. It came up that he’s allergic to peanuts but there was no mention of almonds.

Son No 3 had a peanut allergy. Peanuts are a legume and grow in the ground in a pod (also known as ground nuts) they are completely different to tree nuts (almonds, walnuts etc). You'll have look at all the ingredients in stuff you buy now. If it says may contain traces of tree nuts he's safe to eat it. If it says may contain traces of other nuts he's fine to eat it. If it says contains traces of peanuts or ground nuts he can't eat it. The annoying one is just a generic may contain traces of nuts. Mr Kipling don't have peanuts in the factory. There was a Mr Kipling factory near where I lived and I knew somebody who worked there. What'sApp me if you want any further help.

Thank you for this. He won’t be pleased because he likes peanuts. He even ate them after Christmas when we roasted some. No more groundnut sauce for him either (and possibly the rest of us)!

Glad you have some answers. My husband turned out be allergic to celery, apple, coffee and quinoa! As with your son and blue mussels it can be oddly random.
We found that as soon as wheat and dairy were eliminated he recovered within a few weeks and it’s a very rare occurrence now.
Hopefully it will be the same for your son.

It’s the oddities of labels.
The bag of peanuts that carries the warning ‘May contain nuts’ that always amuses me.
 
Lovely to see you back again. Sorry about your sons eczema, I hope it clears up quickly. I was very sad to hear that Coco crossed the bridge but I am glad your other piggies are ok, good luck with finding Chanel a new friend x

Is he able to have wheat again? I’ve taken him off wheat again as it seemed to have been flaring up again. But they didn’t mention wheat…

Piggies are all well. Toff is still his usual social self and Fudge seems to have become confused, or fussy! He’ll run off with his lettuce m, take two bites then want Toff’s! Or drop his pepper and come get something else or go snatch what Toff’s having. They do make me laugh.

Chanel is still also well. Contacted some rescues but no luck yet. I’m on one waiting list. Will email them again. Wish me luck.

No pictures as I haven’t taken some in a good while. They’ve been enjoying grass lately. But unfortunately my husband cut it and put some weed killer/feed down. May ask if I can go to friends across the way and cut some for them.

Re the wheat - my husband doesn’t eat it at all and we’ve never tried reintroducing it.
He can tolerate some of the older grains like spelt in smaller quantities as they are lower in gluten which is the problem.
He’s ok with barley and rye as well.

Gla the piggies are all well.
 
Thank you. I need to make another appointment with the doctor I think.

Chanel has hay poke resulting in an ulcerated eye 😢 she was given metacam and isathal to be used until the review. I’m trying to see if I can get her in Friday. If not then Monday hopefully.

She was very good and did some poops 😂 weight was 1.04kg which makes me happy. I absolutely love my job but it makes getting to appointments awkward!

Poor gorgeous Chanel, hope she feels a lot better soon and those drops get working fast. Sending you both hugs x
