Did Simon say anything about Probiotics at all as she is on long term antibiotics?

No didnt say about pro biotics. To be fair he never has. But i do give vetark one from p@home everyday
 
I think i maybe under estimating dots health. She probably would be ok to not be syringe fed. Today she done well. And there were poos in her cage. I mite have to try her off it , very carefully. I'm typing this as I'm syringe feeding now lol

I think once they've been poorly, it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that they can't survive without our supportive care. I would keep an eye on her weight and just top her up if it starts to fall.

yea your right there. And i will keep an eye on her weight. I have some scales for her. Shes on 1085 at the moment. She lost a bit after the bloatedness went down
 
Just weighed dot. Yesterday was 1085 . Now 1058. I have weighed her about 2 hours earlier than i did last night. Just thought, i done a syringe feed yesterday before it. I havnt done any today,and i have noticed plenty of poos
 
@Skypipdot How's she doing now? Did you mention anything about cystitis to the vet? I've used a glucosamine supplement on one of my bladder stone pigs in the past. Also, if she seems to be hurting when peeing and/or pooping it might be worth asking if you can up the pain killer a bit.

Shes is on painkiller. And the vet said it maybe cystitis. He doesnt know what the bladder lump is without operating. So i guess we are treating her now like it is cystitis. Using metacam and zythromax. I just hope it isnt cancer. Because i found an old thread on here the othet day that matched dots symptoms and xray exactly the same
 
We recently lost our Fudgie, she had a bladder tumour and we found Cystease really made a difference for her! Might be worth a try? Got everything crossed for your baby, hope she gets back to her normal self soon! ❤️

Did she die from the bladder tumour? Sorry for your loss
 
Just to let everyone know that helped with dot. Shes bounced back to normal. Dont ask me how lol. I'm hoping this doesnt jinx things. But boy I'm reliefed for her. Thankyou so much

I reckon it was a bad infection in her bladder. I would get another xray but I'm not going to stress her out with Ga again. She fell out with me for it last time

thankyou. When i stopped syringe feeding she seemed to be loads happier. I have been letting her out for floor time with my un neutered boar and they get on so well. It really cheers her up. I'm watching him like a hawk tho incase he gets randy. Its such a shame i dont dare get bernie neutered. At first he kept rumble strutting, then after about half hour they were eating together and just not bothered atall by each other

I know people will kick off on here saying watch out for dot getting pregnant but i am literally watching constantly lol
 
Well dot is looking good still. No blood in pee. No wheeking when pooinh and is active as ever. I'm still not syringe feeding her.

Her zythromax runs out tonight and so does the zantac. I will just be giving the loxicom from now on.

Would be interesting to see if her bladder lump has gone,but that means another g.a and i dont want to do it to her. Unless i get her examined by feeling her.
 
Just catching up with your thread. I am so happy for you that Dot is getting better and I hope that the bladder lump isn’t anything sinister.

Why are you afraid to get your boar neutered? It sounds like him and Dot would easily bond.

Granted, he was neutered when I adopted him but Edward and Ellen get on so well together. It’s lovely to watch xx

I probably will. My wife is the one who is worried about it really, I'm not, asolng as i talk to my vet about it all first. I will have to turn 2 large cages into 1 huge one ready for them.if they live together
 
Glad Dot is doing better.
Hope she continues to improve.
I agree with @Claire W ’s question about neutering- it would be less stressful for them both and less risky whennyou let them out together

I'm almost sure they would bond. Bernie only rumble struts around her for the hidey house and thats it (floor time)

Yea i feel well irresponsible for letting them out together. But I'm just doing it to keep dot on her toes. Is it true thats they have to re astablish hirarchy everytime i get them out?
