Beckit
Junior Guinea Pig
My poor Jedward hasn't been well this week, this was her on Monday, when I got home from work. She'd managed to make her front and belly soaking wet without wee and I still have no idea how, so I wrapped her in a towel and (don't laugh) popped her in the washing basket so she could sit in the kitchen with me while I did all the chores that evening...
I was singing and talking to her which perked her up a bit and since she's been in a similar state before I have Metacam on standby at home because the issues normally stem from pain. I started giving her that and she perked up a little bit but she still wasn't eating a whole lot... So on Thursday night the syringe came out...
Which led to sulking...
And although she improved a tiny bit she's still not eating right and isn't improving much so I had her taken to the vets today and the little lump I thought I felt last night is apparently most likely to be an ovarian cyst and I should just keep giving her the Metacam and syringe feeding her to make sure she has some food in her and doesn't lose too much weight.
Anyway, I just thought you guys would enjoy the sulking... She does it a lot but at least THIS time she has a reason for it. I'll post more pics as she starts to get better too, if you like.
