Alot of people don't do their research before they buy their pet.. I barely did any before I bought Luna. Shame on me. :(

But, I did go home and stay up all night with piles of books and web print outs. I did do my research.. just not in the right order.

People get pets and think that itching themselves is normal.. like they thing that a dog itching himself is normal. Well, neither situations are normal, nor okay.

But, the pets owners just let it go, and pretty soon it's out of control and theres all sorts of fungal infections and bugs to be dealth with. But, they give up because they just don't know what's wrong with the animal.. so they discard it onto someone else..

After Luna had her babies, she started chewing herself mad. She had been pregnant and not been able to reach her itchy spots, and had not been able to itch anything at all. As soon as she had her babies, she went wild pulling her hair in the middle of the night. I woke up to a piggy in a bad way. :(

The difference is, I've payed the vet bills ive treated the piggies.. I've done everything that a person can do.. I just have to keep doctoring at this stage.

People get stressed about having to take care of pets that they don't know whats wrong with. It's really a shame and people REALLY need to do all their research BEFORE buying animals.
 
I had to reply to this post.

Poor baby i just want to go and give here such a lovely cuddle. i hope everything you do for her will help her to get better.

i think rescues should show pictures like this as it makes everyone realise that they should take care in their animals and if they can't look after them let someone else who knows what they are doing and look after them.

Hi Cheryl, she reminds me of my Blossom that came in with 2 4 day old babies. I don't take pigtures of mine when they're like that, I can never bring myself to- I know you should, but I just can't :o

Does she have a name? If not how about Sunflower/Flower, she's really going to bloom this little girl :)

Perhaps you could take a copy of the GG info sheet to the wildlife hospital (was it an RSPCA wildlife hospital?). I can mail you one if you haven't got it :) Maybe then Flower's suffering won't have been in vain, but I think she can truthfully say she's done her bit for Pigkind then ::)

Hi Karen

It was an RSPCA wildlife hospital, a vet took a look at her while she was there but choose not to treat her, I thought all vets at the very least would give Ivomec for something like this :-\ I dont know which hospital it was because one of the aco's brought her here but I can find out then send them some details.
I think Flower is a lovely name for her, it suits her :)
 
I can't believe a vet took a look at her and turned her away! WHAT A FOOL!

What kind of vet turns away ANY animal looking like that? Least they can do is call in someone who knows SOMETHING that they can do!
 
OMG how could any vet see that vet and send her away with no treatment,The pain that poor piggy must be in.
Glad she is in safe hands now and hopefully she will make a full recovery although i think she could be left with quite a few scars
 
That is so awful poor little soul she must be in so much pain i really hope its clears up i had something similar to that with one of my girls but certainly not to that extent a few patches here and there. Personally i think the vet should be named and shamed and is as much to blame as the so called owner how can they refuse to help her I'm amazed i really

Come on Flower Babe you can do it lets all send her big hugs and cyber love to get her better, hopefull all her fur will grow back but she may be a real sensitive girl to things like shaving etc

Will you keep us all updated on this please
 
just give me 10 mins alone with whoever did this,
they wouldn't be doing it again. :tickedoff:
 
AWW! poor little girl! Those pics made me cry! :'( :'( I can't believe someone would let their pet get in such a bad way. :tickedoff: And as for the vets! 666) How could they not treat that! Thank goodness for you.
How can someone do that to the poor baby? Give her loads of hugs from me! :-* :-* :smitten: hope she gets better soon. keep us posted please!

Ivomec or Rimadyl/Metacam for pain at the least. Perhaps they thought (wrongly!) that she would be OK till she got to you ::)
 
Oh my God, poor little piggy. How can people let the poor girly suffer without giving her any treatment is beyond me. At least you've got her now and will take care of her.
 
The poor little mite! :'( :'(

Thank goodness she is with you now. Thats awful that she didn't get any treatment from the RSPCA vet. How can anybody let an animal get into that sort of state - its absolutely evil.

Hopefully this is now the start of a brand new life for this lovely little lady. She certainly deserves it!
 
poor little piggie, hope she gets better soon, she is in the right place now with you
 
The poor little darling :'( I am crying for her I am sure with loving care she will be happy popcorning in no time.
 
aaawww poor little girl :'( I've never seen anything like that before! :(

I hope she gets better soon!

xx
 
Hiya - me again! Thanks for showing us some pics. She really is in an awful state. I really wish her a speedy recovery.  ;) 

Flower is a lovely name for such a pretty lady. No-little pig (or any animal for that matter) deserves to be mistreated like she has been. As I said before she's now with the right person.
But I think the RSPCA you dealt with need telling - or at least owe you an explanation as to why she wasnt treated by a vet. I wonder if they could help you finance some treatment?

Please keep us all updated on how shes getting on!

Luv - Helen and piggies  :-* :-* :-*
 
I didn't expect her to look that bad, poor thing :'( I love the name Flower for her :)

No idea how a vet could see her and atleast not give her anything for the pain or something?!
 
Thats heartbreaking, poor little Flower. She is adorable. We would all love to see pics of her progress as she recovers with you. So glad you got her :smitten:
 
poor little girl :'( how can any one leave pig to get into that state ? shes in safe hands now tho bless :smitten:
 
Its suprising what a difference the correct care can make. I remember our scruffy short hairs coming in and after some Gorgeous Guineas treatment they left here as Coronets, terribly fungal on arrival but rehomed with someone who could cope with any flare ups. To think a monthly bath could have saved this and so many others ::)
 
Poor little Flower, such an amazingly sweet face. Well done for taking her in, give her a big hug and kiss from me and my lot.

As everyone has already said, how could someone let an animal get into that state, it doesn't happen overnight. I think as someone else has mentioned the RSPCA should be contacted, surely they should have given her the first dose of Ivomec to at least start the healing process and some Metacam to ease the pain, poor little mite.

Keep us posted. x
 
Poor, poor little Flower!

She is in great hands now though and I think she will start to improve rapidly with a lot of love and I know Cheryl is the person to do this!

To give you hope take a look at the Thistle Cavies Rescue homepage - there were a huge number of pigs in similar condition taken in there last year and now they are all blooming! Chrissie from Gorgeous Guineas has one I have 2 here and there are loads and loads of others all over Scotland now. There really is hope!

Do keep us updated with how she gets on.
 
She has such a pretty face. How can someone live with themselves knowing how much pain and suffering they are causing her. I can't wait to hear about her progress in the coming weeks.
 
OMFG I have just seen the pictures :'( :'( :'(

I have never ever seen any animal in that kind of state - its just broke my heart - that poor poor little animal what sick b*stards would let it get like that??

It really makes me soo angry that poor little thing :'( :'( :'( I'm actually crying for that poor little dear :'(

I am sooooo glad she's with you now I really am.....

Sending all my love and healing her way xxxxxxxx
 
Oh those pics made me cry what a horrible thing for such a sweet looking piggy :'( I showed my mam who also said that those people deserve punishing and she absolutly loves her :smitten: I love her face and she has the same colour fur/hair that me and my mam want :smitten:

If you decided to rehome her i think there's going to be alot of people lining up wanting to adopt this specia piggie, lol :smitten:

You know i ahve a piggie called Petal and Flower and Petal just go together, lol ;) ;D
 
How is she today? she is a cutie, some people really should not be aloud to have animals,
