Just spoken to the vet - she's not yet eating for herself :( They're going to syringe feed her over night and update me in the morning. I asked what pain relief she was on, as she looked a bit uncomfortable this afternoon, so he reeled off her medication list.... metacam, vetergesic, zantac, cisapride, baytril, metronidazole.... poor pig!

Poor baby. No wonder she does not want to eat with all that medication she is on. Lets hope she picks up tomorrow.

Thanks... I think she's going to be ok. These vets really know what they're doing! I'm trying to find someone who can make a Maggie cake I can send them :))
 
You're only allowed to send them a Maggie cake if you post pics of it here :-)

Hope she's feeling a bit better this morning

Just spoke to the night vet; she's still not eating for herself, but accepting syringe feeding well. She is pooing but they're quite wet currently. She is apparently quite subdued, which he feels is down to the vetergesic, which may also be the cause of her not eating for herself. I think they're going to add in fibreplex and take away the vetergesic, have been told to phone at 1pm if I've not heard anything.
 
Poor Maggie, she's already been though so much really hoping she rally's it'4 amazing how some med's just don't agree with some pigs.

I've got everything crossed that Maggie soon picks up. I've always found that vetergesic makes them quite flat and whilst great for pain relief does tend to slow everything down. I am sure you will see a difference once it has been withdrawn. xx
 
Really hope she picks up soon, I too have heard that Vetergesic can stop them eating as they have no energy on it.
 
I spoke to the exotics vet today, Maggie doesn't have diarrhoea as the night vet thought...they were uneaten caecotrophs! She's showing interest in fresh grass but not actually eating it yet, but is still accepting the syringe feeding well.

She's going to be in for at least another 24h but they're pleased with her progress especially after such a huge op!
 
That's good news, fingers crossed for little Maggie
 
Oooo fingers crossed for maggie, the boys send kisseys and healing vibes :) x
