Hi Jennifer, I've just read your update & really happy for you & Haven. It's the worst thing in the world when our little ones are ill & we feel so helpless. A little bit of tlc should help when you get them home on Saturday.
 
Just refreshing this thread.

Haven has gone downhill again, the pain meds are helping her pain wise but she cannot eat for herself...just critical care...but her jaw is totally misaligned again. The infection is still here i am guessing despite everything:(. She had lost weight again and is looking very thin. She hadn't lost any more weight for about a week, but shes only 550g ....but she isnt really gaining any weight :( . Her hip is also having alot of issues and we have no idea whats going on with that :(

I think i may have to make the decision to let her go soon....especially with no jobt the moment and no money and i already owe my mum 500 pounds from Havens last vet tip... :(....i cant see how she will get better by herself :(. She is on both tramadol and metacam still and dosnt seem in pain with that... but i just wanted to update this thread..... I am busy doing critical care feeds just been praying her mouth would improve....but i think its worse than before i think. I think next week i will have to make that call :(
 
Oh Jen this is so sad. I really am so sorry to hear this. You have done your best for Haven and she is so cherished by you. Please message if ever you need to talk.
 
Poor girl, am so sorry it has come to this. Making the hardest decision is the kindest thing we can do for them.
 
Just been reading through this thread, so sorry Haven is going through this, and you as well! I hope very much she pulls through, but whatever happens you will make the right choice whatever is needed. xx
 
:( So sorry Jenny, big hugs to you and Haven. I'm rooting for her so much but if it comes to it she will let you know if she needs to go. x

I know your vet is great with piggies but just wondering if maybe a trip to Simon in Northampton (if possible of course) could be of any benefit to her with all the mouth trouble you cant seem to shift?
 
I really wish i could....but since loosing my job i have no income until i find another one. My vet has been good letting my pay in instalments...but i have had to borrow from my mum to pay.

spent nearly 2000pounds on haven in last few months will all her issues. If it was only her mouth i would borrow from my grandma....but she also needs an op on her hip as that is having issues and she is already so weak. I feel so guilty...but i don't want Haven suffering.
 
Sometimes you have to make a hard decision for the right reasons. You did nothing wrong in the beginning piggies are very clever at covering up illness and you have gone above and beyond what most people would do financially. We are lucky (although it doesn't feel like it at the time) that we are able to help stop suffering in animals when it becomes cruel and detrimental to carry on. I really hope that she picks up and recovers but if she doesn't please do not feel guilty if you have to let her go, it is worse to feel guilty that you didn't alleviate their suffering than knowing that you let the pain continue longer than it should have. Good luck.
 
Don't feel guilty, you're doing everything possible for her! Considering how frail she sounds loads of treatment might not be good for her anyway.
Hang in there and stay positive x
 
Haven has been booked in for tomorow at 9am to make her final journey. It really is time to say goodbye as much as it pains me...and Honor in sure.
Thanks for all the advice and well wishes x
