We woke up this morning to discover that Ella has an eye injury likely a hay poke and her vets are closed today 😞 I’ve managed to get her an appointment at Vets4pets for this afternoon. I’ve never used the Rochdale branch with guinea pigs so I hope they’re ok. Lots of healing vibes would be appreciated. She only had a hay poke a couple of months ago. First her tooth and now this on top of Elizabeth’s lump 😞
 
Sending healing vibes 💓 to Ella! Glad you were able to get her an appointment for this afternoon. I'm sure she'll be fine once she's got the necessary meds; eye injuries being similar for most pets I should think the vet will be good enough even if they aren't that experienced with piggies. Though the time and expense of an emergency vet visit is never welcome 😬
 
I'm sorry to hear this, health issues always seem to come at the exact same time.

Fingers crossed your appointment goes well Ella x

Thank you. As it’s the vets inside pets at home, I’m hoping they’re just going to charge me a normal consultation fee but I’m not sure 😞
 
Oh Ella! Thankfully eyes are the one thing that any regular vet should be able to treat with ease. As it's only just happened let's hope for a quick recovery for her
 
Oh poor Ella ❤️
It’s great you have a vet appt today - the sooner Ella gets the right meds the better
I’ve used Vets4pets before - not the Rochdale one - and they were really good
 
Hope all goes well for Ella. Haypoke always happens at the most inconvenient of times!
 
Just home from the vets. The vet pulled a grass seed from Ella’s eye and she has a nice corneal ulcer 😞 but she has chlorophenicol eye drops to give 3 times a day and corneal repair gel and has to go back in a week. My purse is feeling considerably lighter but my poor girl 😞
 
Glad Ella got the seed removed. You did so well to take her !
You can both get thru this 🥰
Sending healing hugs to Ella ❤️
 
Ella’s eye is looking better but it’s a nightmare getting the drops in to her as she moves just as I squeeze the bottle. Most of the drop is going in to her eye but not all. Same with the Remend repair gel 😞
 
I’m glad Ella’s eye is improving - aren’t they wriggly little pigs 🥰
