dont know about you but I'm on pins:...:... hes not been in long but he is such a wonderful natured guinea pig and plonks himself down on me to sleep....
Oh no poor Pebbles 8...8...8...8...
Whee have all paws, claws and fingers crossed that her UTI goes away pronto!
Poor little darling heart i hate it when they squeek in pain :...
HUGE HUGE HUGS AND WHEEEEEEEEEEEEKS FOR YOU AND PEBBLES XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One thing i have taught my girls is to take a syringe, they're not the greatest yet......but we're getting there. The Ocean Spray Light is wonderful i also add a bit of water to it at this stage only cause we've not got any problems. I also try giving the syringe from the side of the mouth, we tend to not loose as much liquid this way. All the best darling girl to you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She went to see our local vet who we have used for years, he's not all lovey dovey like us piggy people he is rough handed but he did give her a good check over, my mum said she was squealing like a pig quite literally. She actually felt uncomfortable poor baby.
He said it's a UTI as he can't feel any stones or anything. He prescribed Septerin 0.5mls once daily, said hue only give probiotic for long periods of medicine and she has only to take it 1 week.
Awww, poor little Pebbles Awful things UTI, but the antibiotics will hopefully kick in soon and she should start to feel better. Floris and Sancho send their best wishes for a very speedy recovery.
Glad you were able to get her seen quickly. Fingers crossed the Septrin will do the trick.
Although it is much gentler on the tummy than other antibiotics I personally still give probiotics with it, just to be on the safe side. I'm sure she'll be fine without but I'd just keep an eye on her appetite and poos, as I'm sure you already are x
Perhaps it might help ease her symptoms a tad if you give her some homemade barley water "gloop"? It's a tried and tested old fashioned remedy which some swear by so it's probably worth a try if you have the time.
She is pottering about it's only when it comes to the tiolet we have problems. Poor baby, I have been keeping her distracted in an attempt to make her feel better which did work well, she ate and watched the world go by !
If she doesn't get better by the end of this week, we'll be back at the vets.
What would be easier on her tum, metacam (dogs one) or calpol?
