Healing Vibes Needed

Oh no bless her poor Cookie. Praying she is feeling better soon, poor love. I hope putting Widget in with her will cheer her up, poor love. May be worth asking the vet for some tramadol to help perk her up?...it really helps with pain. This way she will get 4 pain killer doses rather than 2? Thinking of you all.
 
Widget has been replaced by Vimto. Widge wasn't happy and kept biting the bars. Vimto is fairly settled in with Cookie as she is quite a chilled piggy. Just have to stop her from licking the left over CC from Cook's chin

Another 18ml of CC in and some Emeprid in her now.

Yes, this will be the next step tomorrow if she doesn't rally later today. x
 
She's on her own again. Vimto wanted to get away and go back to the others :( I really wish Treacy was still here for her, they would never leave each other... But they are just animals at the end of it all and a ill piggy is a weakness I suppose in their herd. I will rotate friends in and out for a hour slot or so.

Cookie has just had some more syringe feed, she says thank you for all the kind words and thoughts. We will get her through this.

Cookie is so beautiful. What a shame the girls dont want to be seperated but they dont understand. Get well sweetheart.
 
Aww Lee! All the best, I'm sure Cookie will pull through :)
Loads of kisses and wheeks from Rambo, Patch, Lucky, Moo, Pecan, Abigail and Maggie. Rory is to busy shaking his tushy at the gorgeous Cookie.

Me and Robert send our healing vibes xx
 
Come on Cookie love!
You can do it sweetie, she'll pull through, she's a tough cookie (haha, embarrassed).

Sending vibes to you and Cookie
xx
 
When Liquorice was ill, they all took turns through their own choice to sit with her in the house. She was never alone, they wouldn't allow her, it was all so emotional :( I'm sure it's why she lasted so long in those final days, they shared their body heat with her failing inner furnace, to will her on to live. :'(
 
She should improve now the urethral stone has been popped out. Sadly - it will take a bit longer to reintroduce her to the herd.
The manner in which they have rejected her perhaps gives some indication as to how seriously ill (in their eyes) she was... so recent events ref vet treatments and her recovery are to be applauded

Keep her on her own with lots of love and cuddles til she is better....and only then think about re-introducing her ....and actually a single friend might be more appropriate?

Mega hugs to Cookie! And to you guys too!
Do you think a cuddly toy that smells of the other girlies would help her?
 
Sorry for late update, busy morning syringe feeding and a dentist trip for me, so Rach will have to syringe feed me too I think :)

Cookie is up and down, last night was positive, 20 mins after metacam she was brighter and had a lettuce leaf ripped up, a small bit of cucumber and around 6 Coriander stalks and leaves and a little water melon it took around 30 mins but we were so pleased. We popped her back in with her friends over night under our supervision as she ran over to the cage last night, she immediately saw off Vimto and Widget when they got in her face, so it looked promising. They are fine with her now it seems, so that must be a good sign - but breakfast was not a success she still can't manipulate leaves very well and it is taking ages to eat... and not much was had at all compared to last night. Still no hay going in. We are maintaining her weight at just above 1kg and syringing a little and often.

We have the vets again for a follow up on Friday, so I have a few questions to ask, as the problem must lie with the mouth due to the manipulation, she really wants to eat but can't :( I really hate seeing her suffer like this.
 
Did the vet say if she had any ulcers or signs of oral thrush?
 
No Rosie, said no ulcers and was pleased with the overall state of teeth and said we'd caught it early. I wondered about thrush and am dosing her on Daktarin Oral gel, Is it once or twice a day Helen? We are putting it on end of syringe to get in in the Cookie mouth - is that right?
 
I dose twice a day and fill the syringe to the 0.5ml mark, literally stick the end in the tube, squeeze and it and draw up like a normal medication. It could be that the problem is in her gullet rather than her mouth if she does have thrush. Nystatin and Itrafungol are also good for it but I have always had good results with Daktarin.

This is worth a shot and something both yourself and Debbie have mentioned. Thanks Helen x
 
I have only just seen this thread! Am so sorry to hear that Cookie is feeling poorly and really hope that she starts feeling better soon. She is very lucky to have a mummy and daddy like you and Rach because you will do everything you can to make her better. I am sending all my healing vibes and Toby & Barney send their healing wheeks. Now come on Cookie - you be strong and get well soon x
 
Cookie is still very much under the weather, we thought she had picked up but has really gone downhill the past 36 hours. We are keeping her weight within 20g of 1kg but she is obviously in some pain when trying to chew. Whereas she was managing sprigs the other night (all be it slowly) she is stuggling with the tiniest of pieces of food, it will go in then drop out.

We have a vets apt tomorrow at 9.40am, going to make sure jaw is fully x-rayed to rule out any root, jaw or abscesses issues and ask for her to be knocked out for another full mouth exam, make sure nothing is missed. We'll then have to decide how to go from there. Apologies for not being online much am pretty tired and feel very beat up with this one.
 
I am so sorry to hear little Cookie is so poorly. It is very good her weight is stable and a healthy amount.

Dont worry about being online. We all understand. It is a very worrying time for you. I am thinking of you all. Hopefully the vet appointment tomorrow will help pick something up. Xx
