Thank you Glynis. So pleased Cameo has made it through the worst and glad she's taken her critical care. They're such a worry.

Peggy came through her op too and came home. We've been up in the night syringe feeding her. She fighting it which is quite good. She's eating tiny amount on her own - just a bite of this and a bite of that but does seem quite keen to eat hay (but only when its waved in front of her nose. She's still sleeping a lot and very quiet - I guess we just keep on with syringing and metcam.

They're in this together - Peggy sends her love to Cameo x
 
Misty and I send gentle healing kisses to Cameo and Peggy, and good luck cuddles to Marble xxxxx
 
How is little Cameo this morning Amanda? We're all still sending her get well soon vibes...

Really pleased to hear Peggy is doing ok, also sending her our vibes! When is Marble due for her op piggyfan?

Glad Peggy is doing well!

Cameo is eating well, pooing loads so it's all going well. She's starting to move around of her own accord now, and starting to nibble on some herbs :)
 
Oh I'm so pleased to hear that. What brilliant news. Peggy had a celery leaf this morning but not interested in much else but hay. You could see if Cameo fancies celery leaf :)

She nibed some last night! It's great Peggy is eating the hay! I've filled the fridge at work with all cameos favourites!
 
She's looking much brighter :) temperature is normal, just syringe fed some critical care, hand fed some pellets and gave some probiotic as she's not eating her poos yet.

Much better than this morning! :)

Great news Amanda!

Did she eat the 'hard' pellets, just as they come, or did you have to soften them in water first?

Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know whether or not Critical Care contains probiotics or prebiotics?

She ate them hard, but I had to put them in her mouth one at a time rolleyes

I don't think it does, hence why I'm giving fibreplex as she's not moving enough to eat her poos. It also doesn't contain much vit C so I'd recommend adding some to it

Thank you. The only reason I asked was because it came up on another thread and I wasn't 100% sure as I've not used it myself. (The Hay Experts website lists a few different probiotics amongst the Critical Care ingredients but Oxbow's own website doesn't seem to mention these probiotcs, as far as I can tell.....confusing!)

Anyway I'm sure you're doing all the right things x
 
She's much brighter, eating on her own (although only veg) and contemplating moving around so she's good to come home with me today :) her and jeff can go back in together now too :)

Just gotta await results of her lump :...
 
Ginny and Saffy send lots of healing wheeks to Cameo and Peggy and good luck cuddles and wheeks to Marble. Their paws are crossed for the test results on Cameo's lump.

x>> To all three girls for their recoveries.
 
So glad Cameo is doing well. That's great news and sure you'll be pleased to have her home. It seems to do their spirits the world of good to be back with familiar surroundings, smells and noises!

Peggy ate like a trooper last night but is almost completely off food again this morning. She's had metacam and metatone and I'm trying to give her critical care but she's fighting the syringe tooth and nail so I'm barely getting anything in to her. Poops are a bit soft this morning too :(

Do you have any metacam left? It could be that she's in pain - have a look at her breathing rate - if it's high while shes at rest, it's likely to be a pain symptom
 
They're home!

I'm still feeding cameo separately to Jeff, as she's still reluctant to move too far, and jeff will eat all the food given the chance, but she's just tucking into some coriander sat on my bed with me!

shes still not really eating anything other than greens, so I think I'm still going to give her critical care until she's eating the hay again. She's also still having fibreplex and additional vitamin C

I'm so pleased they're home! Jeff and Cameo are the noisy pigs who wheek their little heads off when I get in so it's been very quiet!
 
Oh I am glad you've got them home. Poor Cameo, bless her, has had an ordeal but is in safe hands with you. You must be looking forward to them being noisy again!

I am! As I said previously, seeing her afterwards I felt so bad, but I don't regret doing it, especially with the condition of her womb and ovaries, and obviously the lump!

Thanks so much Amanda. I have been giving metacam. Things got pretty bad this afternoon though and she stopped eating completely. We ended up taking her back into the hospital where they're going to triple her pain meds and start on some antibiotics in case she has picked up an infection. She seemed too warm to me and her tongue was getting quite pale.

I really don't want to hijack Cameo's thread so just to let people know Peggy has her own thread here:

http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1123198#post1123198

The title isn't appropriate any more as we decided to go down the spay route instead of injections but I just feel bad about talking about Peggy on Cameo's thread.

Lots and lots of love to Cameo. Hope she continues to improve :)
