Milo has a Melanoma

Sending you and Milo hugs and good wishes. You are doing so well with Milo, it's exhausting when they are ill. I am sure Alan will do just fine with his feeds while you are working.

Just a little update. Poor Milo is still not eating enough for himself and ignores all veggies except for coriander. We have a vet appointment at 9.30 tomorrow so I am hoping they have some idea of what we can do or what the problem may be.

So sorry to hear he's poorly still.Sending healing vibes and really hope he's back munching for himself soon x
 
Oh poor little chap. Hope the vet has some suggestions to make him feel more comfy.
 
Hope you get some answers tomorrow Yvonne. You are doing a great job, he has had major surgery but I’m sure his eating will improve soon. His back probably feels a bit odd at the moment and you know how easily these little beings are put off eating if things don’t feel quite right :hug:
 
My heart is breaking. We lost Milo last night.

His vet appointment went ok. His sutures were removed and the vet gave him a thorough examination and couldn't find any obvious reason for his lack of appetite. I went out to the theatre early evening with my friend and Allan found Milo all floppy a little later. He was rushed to our vets but passed away a little later.

We have decided to have a postmortem, as this time I need to know what has happened. I'm hoping the results will help inform decisions I make in the future around major surgeries on my piggies.

I feel awful that I put Milo through all this and wish I had just decided on palliative care. I didn't even get to say goodbye to him. I can't face going in the piggy room this morning.

We have lost 6 of our 7 piggies in the past 12 months and each one has taken a toll on me emotionally. I feel like the worst piggy owner ever.😭😭
 
Oh Yvonne I'm so, so sorry :( I wish I could say something helpful, but you did everything you could, and there's none of us would believe otherwise.

RIP, Milo.
 
Oh Yvonne. My heart is breaking for you. I’m so very sorry. I fully understand your feelings and I know it’s part of the grieving process but please be assured that you are one of the best piggy slaves ever. You give your piggies the best of care and for Milo you did everything that you could. No one on here would ever consider otherwise. It’s utterly heartbreaking and demoralising when you lose a chunk of piggies in a short space of time. But it’s absolutely no reflection on you. I’ve also lost piggies unexpectedly after surgery that has technically been a success. Sometimes it feels as if they just give up on us. They are such complex little creatures. Please be very gentle and kind to yourself today. You’ve had a dreadful rollercoaster of a few weeks. Sending you much love x
 
You did what you thought was best for Milo, Yvonne, and that is all you can do. You did the very best for him and maybe he will have helped the vet help other piggies in the future. You loved him and he knew that. Don't think you are one of the worst piggy Slaves ever you are one of the best and everyone on this forum knows that.

Sleep well little Milo.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Milo. You definitely made the right decision by giving him (and future piggies) every possible chance. Please don't feel guilty in any way. Xx
I hope the post-mortem can give you some answers and peace. ❤
 
So very sorry.
I understand the way you are feeling.Milo knows how much you loved him and you gave him the best of care. Everyone knows how much you love your piggies.
Hopefully you will get some answers and so will your vet. Milo will be leaving his own little legacy and helping other piggies.
Sending you massive hugs.
Popcorn free little Milo🌈🌈
 
I’m so very sorry to hear that you have lost Milo 😞 Please do not feel bad, you gave him a chance. Milo knows how much he was loved. I hope the post mortem gives you some answers (((hugs))) take good care of yourself

Sleep tight Milo xx
 
Yvonne and Allan I am so, so sorry you lost little Milo. I can only imagine how devastated you are both feeling right now. Sending big hugs:hug: All your piggies are truly loved and you are both so caring and kind. The decision you made was the one I’d have made too, you gave him a chance for extra years of happiness. Never for a minute think you made the wrong choice or you are at fault in some way, you are most definitely not. You have just had the most awful run of bad luck x

Popcorn high little man 🌈
 
I’m so sorry. Sending you both a hug. You did all you could for Milo. All your decisions were made with his best interests at the heart of them. He knew you loved him.

Popcorn high over the bridge Milo. ❤️
 
Oh Yvonne, I am so, so sorry for the loss of Milo.
Please don’t second guess yourself. You made the best decision you could for Milo and that is all anyone can do. You gave him and all your piggies wonderful lives.
Holding you both in my heart ❤️
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve
