Yesterday evening I thought it a bit strange that Tilly hadn't come out wheeking at the sound of the fridge door opening but got her out and she seemed fine.

This morning she didn't come out at breakfast, bad sign. I got her out and she was soaking wet underneath which hasn't happened in a while as the Propalin seems to be doing the trick.

I had to give her a quick bath and she then ate some food.

I've got Hettie at the vets later for a checkup on her eye so will see if they can see Tilly as well.

My stress levels over these 2 beauties is through the roof just lately :(
 
Poor girl, does she have incontinence issues if she is on Propalin?
 
Bless her. Hope your vet can help today. Could it even be the start of a UTI?
 
Thinking of you and both of your poorly girls today.
Hopefully it is something quick and easy (and cheap!) to sort out, and the vet will be able to help.
 
Thank you. Tilly has really been through the mill since we rescued her, she makes my heart melt and I'm always so worried when she is out of sorts :(
 
What time is the appointment? Please let us know how she gets on, sending lots of vibes x
 
Just back from the Vets. Hettie's eye healing beautifully, carry on with the drops for another week :)

And then, Tilly. Her weight has dropped from 1kg to 0.8, her appetite, before today, is massive so very concerning. No UTI, no lumps or bumps felt anywhere on her body, teeth look fine, stomach sounds low.

Have got Ranatidine and start syringing food and water. Next step, if she doesn't improve, is blood work.

I'm so scared she is coming to the end :(
 
Tilly ate a piece of pepper and a slice of cucumber, but nothing else. Have given her a syringe feed and water.

She just seems so disinterested in anything.
 
Tilly is worse this morning, not interested in anything and just hiding in her box. She's had her medicine but feels quite cold.

Got another appointment at 10.50am. Please keep us in your thoughts xx
 
Good luck from me and the piggles so sad its not something they have been able to detect.
 
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully the vet can shed some light on what's happening and make Tilly feel better and lessen the stress on you. Thinking of you xx
 
Still nothing obvious found, have just got to keep on with med's, syringe feeding.

Back for another checkup on Monday. Vet really would like to do scans and a good look around the teeth but an anaesthetic is out of the question at the moment due to her poor condition.
 
Today Tilly was breathing very rapidly and hardly had the strength to get into her bed.

We made the sad decision to let her go to Rainbow Bridge :(

Gutted :(
