Furbabies' Adventures

At the moment Billie is really angry with me.
She just tipped over the little bowl I always use for the soak. Just grabbed the side with her teeth and pulled it out from under her paw. Spilled everything.

Oh dear. Poor Billie. It’s not much fun for her and you can’t explain that it will help her paw.
Hope the next vet trip offers some positive way forward.

I told her today to listen closely to what the vet said ... but back home she pretends not to remember a word.
Except that she is a gorgeous girl. Which is true of course ... and to hear this was the main reason for the vet appointement today, as far as Billie is concerned. :cool:
 
At the moment Billie is quite unhappy.
We are soaking the paw twice a day (not happy!) and putting a fresh bandage on twice a day (not happy!).
Ar least the vitamin C tastes good, but the daily baytril is another matter (not happy!).

I thought, that the paw was making a bit of progress, though it does seem to itch (or hurt, but I have the feeling it's more of an itching).
Unfortunately, Billie took the bandage off today, while I was at work.
And at the moment she is really unhappy. I hope the situation will improve and that she'll leave the bandage alone till morning...
 
Dear Billie
I heard from my Slave that you are unhappy and I was all set to write to the GPU on your behalf. Before I did, I checked upstairs with The Ever Beautiful Betsy (Shop Steward, now retired) what I should do as she is my Mentor and I needed to know if there was any background to your story. Betsy said that under no circumstances am I to communicate with the GPU about treatment by your Slave. This is because your poorly paw needs to get better. It sounds really sore. If it's itching it may mean that it's starting to get better. Please try to leave your bandage on all night Billie.
Yours in the hope that your paw gets better and you leave your bandage on

Dear Tessy
I am sorry that Billie feels let down by the GPU but I'm sure everypig in Forumland wants Billies paw to get better. We all understand her frustration and anger at having to have so much yukky Baytril and having something annoying on your foot. She doesn't know it's all happening to help her poorly paw. Could you let her know? or don't you think she'll believe you?

Dear Thea,
I think Billie doesn't want to believe anyone telling her the treatment is necessary. Odi is trying to cheer her up, but nothing works.
So we will just have to keep our paws crossed and hope that things will get a little bit better soon.
Tessy xx
 
Dear Billie,
We are very sorry your poorly paw is still poorly.
It’s not very nice but it is very important that you have paw spas and bandages and nasty medicine to help it get better.
We think about you every day when Phoebe tries to avoid her yucky medicine.
Love from Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah
 
Billie says thank you for all good wishes.
Since she was in a pretty bad shape yesterday, I had another talk with the specialist vet and we increased the amount of pain medication.
Luckily, she left the bandage alone yesterday and today. At the moment she acts normally at feed times, but she still doesn't move around a lot.
I hope the higher dose of metacam will do the trick.
 
Poor Billie. My four send loads of healing wheaky wheaks to Billie. I'm sending lots of healing vibes too. Come on Billie you can overcome this!
 
To keep me busy, Bonny also decided to make life more interesting. Her incisors are not worn down evenly.
She was at the vets last friday and yesterday. The molars are also effected. The x-ray didn't show anything.
The vet thinks that maybe she hurt herself and her jaw is effected. I don't know how this could have happened. Can piggies hurt themselves while working on a hay cube?
At the moment she is also on metacam. Since she has trouble biting anything off, the veggies are cut to stripes and hand fed. Hay is no problem, at least that's something.

The vet hopes that the jaw will get better with a little time and pain medication.

Apart from the problems eating Bonny is as chearful as always. This morning she just couldn't believe the fact that she could eat her piece of cucumber. But after enough excited running around she gave in to hand feeding.

Thank you!
I hope she will.
The specialist vet is really great. He even called last friday in the evening when Billie had the first really bad time, after I sent him a rather franctic whatsapp message.
 
Anyway looks like our lucky time without the need ti visit the vet frequently is over. This year we had 3 trips already.:(
Last year we had about 6 or 7 visits all together.
 
While Billie has managed to create quite a shocking moment today, poor girl, there is a bit of good news from Bonny.
She manages to eat by herself again. Hard food is still a bit of an issue, but the teeth are still looking good.

Bonny is still on Metacam, but I plan on reducing it in the next couple of days, if everything continues to look good.
The last trip to the vet was last Wednesday.
