Maisie Needs Vibes Please

Status
Not open for further replies.
my vet is excellent. extremely experienced. that is why i want to get his opinion before i decide anything. all the vets there are exotics but i personally trust my vet 100% as we have been seeing him for so long and he is very highly recommended. he's back on monday so i will ask his opinion.

i am unsure how draining the cysts helps? i can understand if they are big, but in maisie's case they are very small still and her problem is more hormonal. can someone explain to me please. the more info the better. i'm a bit confused. thanks x
 
there has been gradual improvement throughout today and she's eating more hay now, and is out and about in the run area more instead of resting. she still gets tired walking too far and even when eating and being syringe fed, she will nod off, but she's definitely improved today. :luv:
 
i think i understand what the vet is saying now. the spay is a risk, but she might have more hcg injections and then end up having to go through this again. then she would have less strength, be even older, and then may have to have the spay anyway. seeing her struggle makes me never want her to have to go through this again. but then the spay is such an invasive op and the recovery after will be hard. the hcg injections worked last time, but only for five months, and her symptoms this time are way worse than last time. i really don't know what to do for the best.

just to say aswell - if she does end up having a spay, it will be my vet doing it. absolutely. i trust him 100% so if something went wrong, i would be devastated obviously, but i would feel assured that everything possible was done to help her.

it's so hard. i know it's my decision but if it was your piggy, what would you be thinking? honestly? x
 
Sending good vibes for the both of you. My piggies are piggy praying for her also. :) I hope she is well soon or you at least get more answers as to what is the main problem.

((Hugs)) Angela, Kitty, Nancy, Nessy and Summer (last one is my daughter)
 
my brave and beautiful maisie passed away peacefully on my knee. cuddled in her cosy bed with my hoodie over her body. me and o/h were with her. i am going to miss her so very much. :(:(:(
 
Oh no, I am so sorry. You both did everything you could for her. She was such a wonderful piggy. Massive hugs. Love to you both and Eddie x
 
thank you everyone. i can't say much at the moment, other than that i am totally gutted. but thankful she passed peacefully. i will miss her so so much. x
 
I'm so sorry :( she was a gorgeous piggie and a real forum favourite. I remember meeting her briefly as she decided food was more interesting so only popped her head out to say hello and went back to her noms. You did everything you could for her and she fought hard and clearly knew how much you loved her. Sleep tight little lady x Big hugs x
 
just wanted to say thank you for the support and advice you have all given, and all the love for maisie. i'm sorry i can't say much at the moment. i can't function many words really. i am just totally totally heartbroken. x
 
I am ever so sorry! Maisie couldn't have had a better or more loving mum!
 
I am so sorry to hear that you lost your beautiful girl. You did all that you could for her and she had the best owner she ever could have wished for. It was good for her that she was with those that she loved the most when she passed.
Thinking of you.

Sleep well Maisie x
 
I am so sorry for your sad news :( R.I.P beautiful girl. You gave her a wonderful home. Sleep well precious.
Thinking of you at this sad time x
 
maisie was cremated in her cosy bed, with a pink blanket around her, and we also sent a note with her and of course a slice of narna. her ashes will be home on tuesday. i miss my girl so much :(:(:(
 
i just know she will be feasting on as many narna's as possible at the bridge bless her. reunited with her soul-pig ches.

she was just too tired to continue. i am honoured that she wanted to be with me for her final time of life. i am so glad she passed so peacefully, knowing how much we love her.

i just miss her so much. the grief is just so different each time. this time i am more at peace with her actual passing, but i still feel so sad :(

She fought so hard to stay with you, her and Ches I am sure are snuggled up at the bridge right now. I understand how you mean at peace, I felt this with Treacy's passing. I think that when they are poorly for so long you already almost start the grieving process early as you are expecting it. Big Hugs x

How is Eddie doing?

all i want for any of them is to be happy, know how loved they are, and to pass peacefully here at home. i wanted that for her and feel comfort that she got that. she was still eating some food that morning. her breakfast took her half an hour to eat, but she was determined. she tried so hard but was just so tired. i had so many lovely cuddles with her. she wanted to be out with us as much as possible. maybe she knew and wanted to say goodbye. x

eddie knew what was happening and they said their goodbyes. when we brought her back to the cage, he already knew and didn't come over as normal. he stayed at a distance watching her. we left her in the cage for a while but he didn't want to come over. he did once we moved her away again. he has been so brave. much braver than i thought he would be. he seems more sad today though and is quite quiet. he isn't a pig who feels comforted being cuddled. he likes a quick cuddle but then to either sit beside us on the settee, or for us to sit with him at/in his cage where he feels the most comfortable.

i was going to message you today actually because you are involved with rspca walsall aren't you? i have tried to get in touch with x-vic-x and becky86 on here, but not had a reply yet. we're hoping to adopt a new friend for eddie. we feel he will need a friend fairly soon. he's doing ok for now, but i do think he would love a new friend. i'll add you to the conversation i started so you have the info we sent if that's ok? x
 
maisie is home now. we have chosen a picture for her casket which o/h will print out today or tomorrow when he goes out.

i just feel so sad today. and really angry aswell. :(:(:(

Massive hugs, this part is always hard and painful as it begins closure and that really hurts. x x
 
We are really sorry to hear this sad news and agree with your post about being happy and knowing they are loved and can say with certainty that Maisie knew and felt this. Thinking of you.
 
Oh sweetheart I am truly sorry for your pain. It really hurts so much. All night I was up thinking about Amina and wishing I could hold her. I wish you were not going through this. I am always here for you. Xx
 
thank you.

i'm so glad she's home now. her casket is next to her beloved chesney's. x
 
Oh, love, I am so very sorry for your loss. You could not have done any more for her and she had the best piggy mum.
But now she can popcorn free over the bridge knowing her mummy did the best for her. Sleep tight beautiful Maisie.
RIP little one.

I am here if you need to talk.
xx
