Not Good News .....

Well we are back to square one :( have been weighing Autumn every day and her weight seemed to be going up but then quickly has started to go back down. I am really struggling to keep her weight up and was wondering what was causing her to be struggling to eat again.
I checked her teeth again this morning to find they are growing back in the same way causing her to not be able to pick food up again.
I feel this needs further treatment but also needs someone who really knows what they are doing to help get this sorted before she gets seriously ill.
What does anyone recommend ?
Cold anyone also give me more info on TEAS in case this is a possibility ?

Well i have an appointment at the vets tomorrow to hopefully get her teeth trimmed at the front. I have also started her on metacam at 0.1 as well as hand feeding, hope this will be the last visit :(
 
Hiya! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Would it be possible to have a chat on the phone tomorrow? My contact no is on the website www.teasnorthampton.co.uk I am able to offer your piggy a temporary place here at TEAS if need be, to enable her to get the treatment she needs x
 
Tomorrow lunchtime will be fine, i am due at the vets with Autumn at 1pm so will try maybe just before i go, thanks ever so much :)

Try a bit earlier if you want so you aren't in a rush. I should be back here by about 10.30 onwards x
 
Well guys after speaking to Debbie at TEAS we have decided to try and arrange a piggy train to get Autumn down there to get her the treatment she needs :)
 
Hi, she is doing ok, we are maintain a weight of around 700/710 but once fed upto 790. She is very keen to eat and she has been trying to eat hay and maybe managed the odd strand :)
 
Oh you have no idea how relieved i am, just really hope she can be put back to good health and live a very happy life, i'm sure baby Daisy and sister Blossom will miss her very much but will be pleased when she comes home, shame they don't understand :( the meds is a bottle of meticam i self prescribed and will send with her i am giving her 0.1 ml morning and night :)
 
Sorry have only just saw this post, I am really pleased she has not had to wait any longer than she has as her teeth have grown a lot quicker than i could ever have thought. She has so much spirit and has took it all in her stride and started to try and eat for herself again. The biggest battle has been keeping her weight up :(
 
how did Autumn get on?
Healing vibes to Autumn & once again what would us piggy slaves & squeaking wondrous ones do without Simon & Debbie?

Speedy recovery & chinny tickles from the girls & I :luv:
