Well today i took pepsi back to the vets. And they checked him over after him not eating or drinking not pooing or weeing. And being quiet and chanttering his teeth. They told me they are keeping him in until 3pm as they could not determine anything else that could possibly be wrong with him as they obv hide their illness due to them being animals of prey. I am so worried.

They gave me 2 options.

1. To keep him in the vets and they are going to hydrate him and try him with all the basic things that could possibly help his condition.

2. To have him put to sleep

When they said two i was nearly in tears there and then. I told them i want number one because it could just be an infection or something that is making him feel like he doesnt want to eat.

I will pay anything and do anything to get my piggles better i love him so much. He was snuggling me so tight in the vets.


I hope when i ring up at 3pm hes eating and is more livly and happier.

The vet said he wasnt in any pain. And i expressed that if the worst comes to worst i want to be there for my baby. x
 
Hope Pepsi recovers after her day in the vet's. Thinking of you and your little one.
 
I do. I have cried all morning. I'm even crying now. hes my baby. My little world and some poeple would say hes just a gunea pig but i rescued him and made him a happy pig. I'm looking at his cage now and the thought of not having him at all is making me cry more... :(
 
Aw hun, what a worry? I cant believe they would just pts just like that......! That makes me mad, are they a Cavy Savy vet? Just wanted to say i am sure he'll be fighting fit again and ready to come home at 3pm. thinking of you both, we too have been to vets this morning so i know what a worry it is.

Try not to think the worst, you are doing the best for Pepsi. Are your vets very knowledgable?

When i first got pepsi he was 4. I made sure they were a tropical vet and that they would look after him properly. I will be so upset if anything bad happens i just hope they wait until I'm there and that i can bring him home.

I have never been so worried literally biting my nails waiting to see whats going to happen.

Hes just so important to me. xx

I think they are. The vet himself has a guinea pig and lost him too a few days ago. So he will be knowledgeable about him. I hope.

I will be very angry if not. But the tricky thing is pepsi hides his illness with him being an animal of prey so its very very very hard to tell whats happening with him x
 
He is in the right place to get hydrated and I'm sure they will take good care of your little boy. Let us know how he gets on. All fingers and paws crossed for you. *hugs*

Thanks Billy... Its just so hard. They become your little soul mate and we have been through loads together.

I will post as soon as i get back from the vets tonight. I am going to call at about 12 anyways just to check up xx
 
God this has made me cry...8... I remember how that feels to leave him in the hands of the vets, and the empty cage the snuggling and all those things 8...

I really hope hes going to be ok, he is in the best place you did the right thing taking him back in.

let us know what they say when you call at 12.
((HUG))
 
aw I'm really sorry about pepsi i hope it all goes well, good luck! :rose
 
*update on pepsi*

Rang the vet's just there and they have said he is stable.. he is taking all of his medicines that they are giving him. And he has had something to eat.

I need to ring back at 2pm to get a better update about him. I'm praying i can take him home tonight and he is getting better!!!


Come on PEPSI keep fighting baby!
 
yey

hehe he is figjting it at least. I really really want to be bringing him home tonight at 3pm! Infact i WILL BE BRINGING HIM HOME BECAUSE HE IS FIGHTING! My little soilder xx
 
Hope all is well and you haven't replied because your busy collecting him! xx
 
OK

Hes back home bless his cotton socks.

He has lost 25% of his body weight but we still dont know whats wrong with him. The vet said he has had a little to eat and had anti biotic and anti inflammitries. He said i could be something to do with his kidneys and if it is he doesnt know if he is going to be ok.

I have to take him back on monday morning after a weekend of 3 different medicines.

They said they would take blood from him but they need to take it from the main vein to the heart and i refused any permissions to do this its cruel and could kill him. And risk any chances of us getting him better with medication.

So i will take him back on monday and see what happens.

My poor piggie is so skinny and weak now. I just want him better.

I have decided that if he is not better an dis still the same and not recovering i cannot let him go through all of this any longer. He is after all 7 and an old little man and i care so much for him. I dont want him to be in pain longer than monday if i cant get him better. Its breaking my heart x
 
So pleased he's back home with his mummy. Hope he improves over the weekend, please keep us updated on him. Sending healing vibes his way. *hugs*
 
Thanks

Hi sport billy.

Thankyou for the support messages. I am getting him better as fast as i can and patiently also.

He is so little now. He was like a little bull before he was poorly. I really want him to get better :)

Going to be as positive as i can be

xx
 
Aw I am so glad that you got him home, was getting worried that you hadnt posted an update :...

Give him lots and lots of love, cuddles kisses and reassuring tickles with his anti biotics and some food.

Have they x-rayed or scanned him or anything?
 
Oh so glad you got him home :)

Hope he improves over the next few days. I've gone through some hard times with a little figher too (much younger than yours though) so kind of know how you feel a bit. In some ways the fact they want to fight gives us the cue that they want to carry on.

Keep us posted on his progress - I really hope it is good progress,

Hugs and healing vibes from Sherbet, Toffee, Ebony, Smartie, Rolo, Truffles, Candy and Cookie and of course me

xx
