Rodney will be proba tired and quirt the next few days. Pleased he is eating etc...bless him. They look very happy to be reunited. X x
 
My absolute pleasure hun, i am just so pleased he has been sorted and is doing better! After trusting John with my piggies i wouldn't. take them anywhere else.
I am just absolutely thrilled he is doing better. He and Billy are just sooo cute! I am so happy for you x x
 
Let's just hope I can nurse him back to full health, he is doing great so far tho. They handed him back to me in his travel cage & he was sat happily munching hay & then came straight over to me for an ear rub :)

So glad Billy is being good with him too, he is definitely chuffed to have his pal back he does little moans when he's on his own! X
 
I'm not sleeping well, as every noise they make is waking me I think where I am in nurse mode. But it's 3am and I have to say every noise being made, is Rodney! He's drinking lots which is great as he is to have plenty of fluids, eating at his bowl and he is currently in the hay box stuffing his face with hay.

Oh it is amazing not to hear that awful crying anymore!

I know it's early days, but I feel like my little handsome is gonna be ok ;)

Can't wait for him to forgive me! Xx
 
Aw I totally understand. I was the same with mine. How are the boys today? Hope you managed to get some sleep. X x
 
Great, Rodney isn't liking me much which makes me a bit sad, he's running away from me which he never does - but he's had all his medicine & has been eating & drinking all morning. I am at work now & asked my mum to look in on him & she just text to say he is out munching. Really pleased with him so far!

Cookie got to that point she will run away now when I go to pick her up, don't worry it will pass. He is just associating you with medicine and things. You are doing amazing and so is he x
 
Glad Rodney is feeling better - he looks just like my Patrick. If you haven't tried it already might be worthwhile offering some Pearl Barley my P loved it when he was poorly and it was wonderful for soothing the bladder. Also was really great for making friends again! x
 
Going to have to buy some of this yes thank you!

He has never ran off before, when I have him out he looks sad as if knows I am about to torture him then is keen to get away from me again ;(

He doesn't have to put up with too much tho, he likes his pain killer and the other 2 medicines are only a small amount. Think he has been traumatised by syringe feeding & injections....

He's eating non stop at the moment always munching something - what a brave little man :love:

In a few days he will probs be back to normal. Haven was the same for about a week, but then she was back to her usual cuddly self x
Sounds like Rodney is such a strong little man x
 
He is very strong! He only seems to really want to eat hay, pellets, grass, and cucumber at the moment.... He's still beig a bit fussy but I guess he is full of a mixture of drugs which probably aren't making him feel great.

I do miss the days when there was panic if I ran out of green beans! He is doing great tho. Couldn't ask for him to be better really. X
 
Think I will, altho have scared myself my reading up on them coming back within a fortnight. Terrified it will happen again!

He was very excited about having some grass tonight, so excited he went up on 2 legs against the cage (cringe!) can't believe how small he is now! X
 
Just caught him squeaking a little when he poo'd again.

I have to call john with an update tomorrow anyway so will ask him, but now I am worried :no:
 
Lots of healing wheels and vibes for little rodders and hugs to you Pam. My head tilt boy runs from me too come medicine time, as Lee said, it's just him associating icky tasting things and having things shoved in his mouth with you. Once he remembers you are the veg fairy he will come a running! X
 
Pearl Barley - looked this up & it looks like oats. Do I soak this in water & let him eat it or give him the liquid?

Sorry - never heard of it before!

Yes will have a look on way home from work, have read some threads and looks like you boil it for an hour and syring the juice.

Just came home on my lunch reak as he won't take water from my mum. So worried he isn't drinking enough in the day to flush that bladder, he's just took 3 syringes from me (not happy about it) they just don't really drink a lot in the day! Can't do this everyday forever :/
 
Good to see Rodney excited over his corn. If he is not drinking enough he may take more if you syringe him water with pro-biotics as most piggies love the taste of it. Perhaps he will like the barley juice as well and that will give him more water..
 
Yes getting the barley today, I've left a message for the vet ref the squeaking when pooping last night & asked how much fluid he should have so will see what he says.
 
That's cool hun. I am unsure if John is in Wednesdays....but I'm sure the message will be passed on. Either way I'm sure someone will get back to you.. x
Hope Rodney is okay x x Bless you x
