Janey’s Piggies

I do get through a lot of hay because I see them looking at me from their completely flat ex-pile and feel bad they haven’t got a lovely big pile anymore, so fluff it up or add more! I think I could do with taking a leaf out your book!

Same!

Today I’m going to try harder to not give in to those cute little faces … wish me luck.

I have a hunch your attempt will prove futile

Stay strong and think of your fatherland and your vet waving their next bill.

The goblins were notorious hay flatteners, and once it was flat they didn't want it. So I'd pick up a handful and put it down again so it wasn't flat and they'd be like "ooh new hay!"

Now I have burrowers and nesters, which is fine until they all want to burrow into the same pile at the same time.

Going to try that

Good luck with that

Well, so far so good - I’m managing to use a lot less hay, although last night I slipped up and realised I’d put way too much in for their overnight delight! Back to stricter mummy today - although they don’t seem particularly chuffed about this new-fangled arrangement

Marmalade had her first visit to see Aunty Ellie yesterday, which she was NOT at all impressed with. I’ve heard her squeak a few times and wondered if I had acquired another piggy with IC, but Ellie thinks it’s just a bit of stress with all the moving recently. Marmalade has so far not been keen to taste the Loxicom either, so hoping it’ll grow on her. I’m so used to Dori just taking it wherever she happens to be, it feels a bit strange having to get Marmalade out her cage and hold her head to get it in! Hopefully a few days down the line and she’ll love it too

Dori is off to the vets first thing tomorrow as she’s squinting a little and starting to look a little bit cloudy in her right eye . I’ve had a look but can’t see anything obvious that I’d stand a chance of getting out. She’s already on long term Loxicom for her bladder, so hopefully that’ll keep her more comfortable until tomorrow.

 

[weepweeps]

Good luck Dori.

Hope all goes well at the vets

 

[Roselina]

Ah I hope darling Dori gets on ok at the Vets

 

[Truffolo]

Sending wishes for healing

 

[Janey]

We’re back and she had more than one piece of hay in her eye . So we have some Remend lubricant drops and Chloramphenicol too. Vet said she has an ulcer right in the centre of her eye, but luckily it’s superficial. Hopefully she’ll mend quickly.

 

[weepweeps]

Bless her. I’m sure she’s feeling much better now.

I hope it heals quickly.

 

[Janey]

Bless her. I’m sure she’s feeling much better now.

I hope it heals quickly.

Thank you. I think she’s totally had enough of being poked and prodded today already and we’ll need to fit two more doses of eye meds in plus her usual bladder meds tonight as well! Dori’s not a fan of being handled either - but for meds she’s not too bad.

I know. I feel so bad when it seems like we only get them out for medicines. Both my boys have been poorly for the last few months. Hopefully Dori will carry on being a good girl.
