Healing Vibes Needed

Thank you everyone, just a quick update...

Cookie is now on Vetergesic (Buprecare) 2 drops twice a day, the improvement is amazing. She won't eat hay still and is relying on us for syringe feed pellets but is slowly eating tiny pieces of veg and it was a full portion yesterday evening over an hour - so one of two things, she is correcting her jaw or the pain relief is enabling her to chew veg a little which may help her find a better way of chewing. She is still struggling with veg unless we cut it small and sometimes it drops out but overall there is a massive improvement.
I know this is the pain relief kicking in, but hopefully starting the Steroids today will give her a shot at improving further, where it not for this upturn we would be visiting the vets today for Euthanasia so there is still hope and she is wanting to fight so we will help her fight .
Neither Rach or I are going to keep her this way on syringe feed and small cut up veg in the mid to long term as she is still not her usual self by a long shot so we are giving the steroids until end of the week and hoping for a miracle. We are still undecided on the Operation or if we PTS but the way she wants to eat and is managing on the opiate makes me feel like trying the Operation, however we must weigh up Cookies quality of life and the chance of success. Going home at dinner today to see Cookie was the best Birthday present ever.

Thank you all for your support, Cookie sends thank you nuzzles and wheeks x
 
Glad she is seemingly improving! I will keep sending healing vibes to Cookie- she sounds like a determined little love x hugs to you and Rach...your both doing a great job and she is lucky to have you.
Take care and know you are both doing a fab job! It takes so much out of us when they are poorly dosnt it? I hope you are able to enjoy your birthday and relax. Praying for Cookie x
 
What a great gift from Cookie on your birthday! Even Cookie wants you too have a great day!

It sounds like Cookie is really trying her hardest too fight through this and is doing a great job! Hoping she gets back too herself!

The boys send Cookie their wheeks!
 
Glad that the pain relief seems to be helping a bit. Hopefully the steroids will make a difference too. My Phoebe is also starting steroids today and they have helped her a lot in the past.

I am very happy to be sitting next to cookie as she noms (slowly) a huge pile of veg! I am less happy about the huge wee she has just backed up off the towel onto the sofa to do.

You win some you lose some, better than feeling the warmth spread in your lap!. So glad to hear little Cookie is picking up some, have been thinking about her and you guys all weekend. More positive and healing vibes to her and hugs to you both x

When she wee'd on my groin the other night, I thought I had wet myself for a spilit second :)) Little Madame...
 
Surely you're not at that stage in life Lee where that'd be your first thought? :D Haha it is most disconcerting when it happens though. I managed to catch all but one of Jammy's last night. She did the same, backed up and stuck her bum over the edge of the towel and fired away. Felt it trickling down my side....eurgh!
 
Awww bless her she sounds a little fighter! Whatever the outcome I know you will do what it best for her. Fingers crossed that the medicine works for her x

:)) I feel it some days I can tell you, where did I put me plastic pants....

Ha ha Jammy :)) Ready, Aim, Fire!

It is the backing up which makes me laugh :)) Cookie goes really still and has an intent look of concentration on her face...
 
Mum and Dad say I am really doing well, here is me eating my cut up veg. Thank you for all your vibe's, I send you nuzzles and the occasional piggy lick

Cookie is doing well and after a veg tea and was the same weight as her 12 noon syringe feed so that is good news.
We have started the steroid and are tentatively looking at Operation next Tuesday if the steroid doesn't work within 7 days. She wants to live and fight so we will try to help her the best we can, if the op is too much or she goes downhill, our hand will be forced but for now at least she is giving it all she has.
The pain relief has really changed the ball game for her at the moment veg wise and while it is all cut up she has started to pick it up on her own, if only she would eat hay... but hopefully that will come over the next few days.
 
Aww hello gorgeous little girl! I am so happy you are doing well. Nice to see you too Lee.
 
Been getting lots of photos of her :love: She really is a trooper like her sister was.
 
She is such a beautiful little fighter! Well done to all of you, you're all being so strong and we still have fingers and chookin legs crossed!
 
Shes such a beautiful girl :love: and that great news Lee...so pleased for you all :D ! So pleased she is fighting so hard isn't she :D Keep fighting Cookie! Hope she is eating hay again soon. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed here...both human and piggie. :) You and Rach are doing a fab job! :) x
 
Little Cookie is absolutely gorgeous!

Hopefully she will begin eating hay very soon. It's lovely too hear she is doing so well.

You have a strong girl there!
 
She's ate hay for 20 mins, a strand takes ages but she had interest in it :) I think we both feel on top of the world, it look so bleak a week ago, thank you all so much for your support, this place is so special and so are all of you x
