Poor little Sparrow is not well. She has had a weepy eye for a couple of days and since yesterday has a discharge from her nose and is not eating properly.

I will phone the vet first thing in the morning to get an appointment for tomorrow. She is a little sweetheart ... I hand-reared her and she is now 4 years old.

Fingers crossed for her please.
I recently lost Stuart from trio so I am praying that she will be ok.

Here's Sparrow ...

You could let her have a quick sniff of Olbas oil, it will help clear her nose, it seems as though she may have conjunctivitis.
 
Will keep my fingers crossed for Sparrow, she is a lovely piggie. x
 
Thanks everyone. Sparrow got on well at the vet this evening, she was a very good girl.

She has a noisy left lung so has been prescribed Baytril twice a day for 5 days. Also Fucithalmic eye ointment at 1 drop twice a day.

Sparrow was 4 years old back in August and this was her first visit to the vet ... considering I hand-reared her by syringe on puppy milk sachets, she has done really well health-wise.

Fingers crossed that she will improve as she is a tiny little thing weighing in today at 750g. She certainly perked up when she came back home.
 
Sending my vibes to lovely Sparrow!

And a hug to you!
 
Awwww - she's so pretty x)

Hope she soon feels better.
