Maggie is doing very well indeed!

She stayed at work over the weekend as I was there on the Saturday but away on the Sunday. She had some diarrhoea so decided that it was best that she stayed there to be syringe fed and kept an eye on. I picked her up yesterday evening as I was working, and she's looking great. Her abdomen is now a more normal size and shape as the gas has largely gone, poos are a normal consistency and shape but just a little smaller than usual, and she's currently munching her way through a large pile of hay! Weaning her off the medications slowly one by one, she has a check up on Thursday at the vets and hopefully she'll be all back to normal by then!

Then all I've got to do, is re-bond her and Dave!
 
Bless little Maggie, glad to hear she is almost back to normal now, excellent news!

xx
 
More good news! Had a call from the vet, her tumours (she had one on her ovary and they also found one in her uterus it would seem!) are all benign and such that now they're removed, shouldn't ever be seen or heard of again! So pleased that I gave my ugly little maggot pig a chance! She is happier than ever at the moment, unsurprisingly!
 
Great news! Love to beautiful Maggie x
 
Weaning her off the medications at the moment and all going well...eating well and remaining a new streamlined shape!
 
Great news she is eating well. She really has recovered very well and speedily. You must be over the moon.
 
Meant to compliment Jemma on her handiwork with Maggie this morning when I saw her but forgot. Too wrapped up in my own crew!

Haha still frequenting regularly then?

Maggie is doing fantastically! Off all medication, eating and pooing well. She looks like a completely different pig, I really cannot believe it. I'm going to post some comparison photos later this evening so watch this space!

I'm also going to write to the vets in Swindon and let them know what's happened as I feel like I should!
 
Maggie had her final vet check today, the vet was amazed at how well she looks!

She showed me photos from her surgery and the CT scans, and I'm not surprised that she gave me such a grave prognosis! Her tumour was huge....it filled the entire right hand side of her abdomen, and as such, had moved all her abdominal organs all over the place.

Maggie's pre surgery weight was 1300g, today she's 901g, so the tumour was almost 50% of her normal body weight! Its no wonder that she's looking and feeling so much better, even the vet said she was much more chilled out today....however I think "chilled out" is going a bit far...we'll go with much less stressy :))
