Adult Guinea Pig
So I've put this in general piggy chat, as I'm not looking for advice, more just want to express how I'm feeling. It's about Honey again... recently she's been having more blips, and tonight I'm really worried, her weight has dropped to 760g, she's hardly eating and their water bottle has minimal from it, I haven't seen her drink, only Willow... she hasn't stopped hiding away, as soon as I lift a hide, she'll go straight to the closest one, this isn't Honey at all, she's one of the least scared pigs I know and is usually the one that is happy to lay out in the open. She's nibbled on the smallest bit of hay cookie, had some cucumber with her probiotic on it and apart from that, not a lot. I topped her up with about 12ml of CC between hour and hour and half ago, and that's what I'm planning to do throughout the night.
She's really looking exhausted now, old and frail, just generally worn out. As you can imagine for a piggy that used to weigh 1kg, this weight loss over time (as well as obviously the weight lost from ovarian cysts removal) she's looking rather gaunt and skinny now along with muscle loss. All I can do is be there for her as much as possible, and see what the vets say tomorrow (she has an appointment for half 10).
I've got a feeling she may have cancer as when the op was done they found some abnormalities but removed as much of the uterus as possible, obviously this could've been anything but who knows how it's developed or changed since her op.
Along with her grand age of about 6 and a half years, I don't think she's going to be with us much longer, this certainly is the worst she's been since prior her op. I just hope she isn't suffering or in pain Dreading the day I make that rainbow bridge post
