Fudge is Tucking into some dandelion leaves totally oblivious to what next week may bring. Sadly her ovarian problem isn't staying under control with the hormone injections and Iv decided to not put her through anymore of them. There may be a tumour present which is causing a cyst to grow, as the ovary is only shrinking to a certain size but they can still feel something there. so she will be scanned next week, and if it's confirmed as a tumour she will be spayed. This would cure the problem but being in CHF, it's unlikely she will survive an anaesthetic. She is comfortable and bright atm, but she is losing weight and her hair due to her ovary and Iv decided it's better to go ahead whilst she is still well in herself. A week too soon is better than a moment too late, I love her too much to let her suffer. Send your thoughts, prayers or whatever you believe in, this way

 
Sending my love, it's heartbreaking to say goodbye. She's a beautiful girl and you've brought her through so much. She will know how loved she is. *hugs*
 
My fingers are firmly crossed for you both. Either way, she will know she is loved and appreciate everything you've done to try and help. X I know that none of our words will ease the pain but I've seen how hard you've worked to help her get through it and how much you love all your piggies so please don't beat yourself up no matter what you choose.
 
Thoughts, praying, positive vibes all be being sent to you in massive chunks.

Sometimes these little ones, especially those like Fudge, have a real zest for life and wont let a little op get in their way :-) I had one just like her a few years ago and she just kept on going, her medical notes read like a book and she confounded everyone. Piggies like her and Fudge don't come around very often but when they do they take so much of your heart when they leave us but they also give so much whilst they are with us.

Hugs x
 
Huge hugs to you both - I have had 3 of mine spayed - 2 as emergencies because of ovarian cysts and a tumor and my youngest girl spayed at 4 months as a preventative and so she could go in with Bumbles spirit baby boar Humphrey - all came through with flying colours and 2 were ill and my youngster weighed 700gs - fingers crossed for you both x

She's about 950g which is still a good weight but has never weighed this throughout the whole of her diagnosis- even at the beginning when I nearly lost her. 2 weeks into her diagnosis and we realised just how poorly her heart was, the specialist gave her a "week or 2". We're 19 months in and I just don't know how her heart could cope with an anaesthetic :-( never mind the fact her 8th birthday is in 16 days :-(
 
Awwwwww Fudge :( It's making me cry thinking about it; everything crossed here for you both, sending love & hugs to you Adelle x
 
Oh Fudge you little love bundle. Prayers and love coming your way. Eighth birthday coming up. Oh my ...
 
Everything crossed for Miss Fudge in Switzerland.
And a decision made with so much thought and love is never the wrong one Adelle.
 
I'm thinking of you Adelle - and Fudge . I really hope everything will be ok - but I know you will do whatever is best for fudge .
 
I can't believe Fudge is going to be 8... she looks like a little young one to me..... wishing you and her all the best with her surgery xx
 
Whatever you decide with Fudge it will be right, just follow your heart. Does the vet think she has a good chance of pulling through. How many times have you thought this is it. How many times has she bounced back. She's made of stern stuff .My thoughts & prayers are with you & Fudge.
 
Oh Adelle, sending you love and massive hugs, paws and fingers crossed for you here xx
 
Thoughts and prayers are with you and miss fudge (and crunchie, rowan and poppet). She's made of strong stuff is miss fudge and she knows just how loved she is. You are a legend @Adelle, she defo couldn't have done it without your love and true dedication to her. Your bond is strong and she knows you have her best interests at heart. Love, hugs and snuggles to you Hun.....x

Yep, born on the 8th of April 2009! A friend I met through dog rescue bought her from a petshop for her daughter when fudge was just 6 weeks old. She came to live with me when she was 3.5 years old as the daughter grew up and fudge had outlived 3 companions and they didn't want to keep the cycle going. She came to live with Crunchie and my neutered boar Mikey (sadly no longer with us.) You can see her age with the loss of muscle around her back end and her eyes have that really irregular edges around the black bit.. But she does still have a baby face in my eyes bless her

Thank you, I know she's strong but her heart should've packed in a year and a half ago, an anaesthetic is an awful stress for a tiny little heart :-(

The vet doesn't think she has a very good chance, but agreed with me that doing it once she is sick and suffering will be too late. I have to give her this chance, even if it's slim. I would never let her get to a stage of suffering and if this is a tumour, it will cause her increasing pain over time.
 
Thinking of you Adelle, whatever happens you have done so much for your little lady xx
 
Sending lots of love and positive thoughts ❤. Will keep everything crossed and I really hope everything goes ok x x
 
Hope everything goes well for you Fudge! You are such a brave little girl!
 
Fudge is such a determined little pig, she pulls through everything. I'll be thinking of you both, whatever you decide to do, it's the right thing for Fudge. X

It's so hard. She's currently charging around the floor and chewing her new carrot cottage and I keep thinking how can I send her off to the vet where I won't get her home when she's happy... But I know it won't last and her heart only gets weaker as time goes on- waiting isn't in her best interest. The ovary now has no cyst but is still enlarged, but it's already started brewing again and she only had her last jag 10 days ago. It's just not enough now :-(

I know how difficult and devastating it is. Toast is due her 6th dental soon in the space of a year and every time she has GA she takes longer to recover and I'm always so terrified she won't wake up from the next one.

You really have given Fudge the best possible life she could have. I know how hard it is being up at all hours with medication, syringe feeding etc, no one can fault your dedication.

It's such all difficult decision, put her through the spay in the hope that she pulls through, or decide that she's had enough. There is no wrong decision, you know her inside out and you're not just making this decision on a whim, you've put so much thought into it and whatever you go ahead with you've got everyone's support. X
 
I'm thinking of you Adelle.You really are the most amazing piggy slave and you always go above and beyond for them.I really hope fudge pulls through but if the worst does happen then at least you have given her a chance.Big hugs to you and lots of healing vibes being sent for sweet fudge xx
 
Sending all good wishes to our forum celebrity "Little Miss Fudge". Whatever the outcome Adelle, you and your vet are acting entirely in her best interests. Amdecision like this taken with thought and love cannot be wrong. All good wishes xx
