My piggy not eating or drinking water. On metacam as he's in pain. Vet says it's his jaw. He's had his teeth done 3 times.
What a smelly sweat under his neck all white fur all brown. I be careful and wipe it with a warm bunny soap. Warm water cloth.
He eats all syringe food. Big syringes I have. If I try to touch under his mouth he squeels... There's a place in Ayrshire that will take him as I can't do with the stress. What do you think?
 
It is a very difficult decision when you have a dental guinea pig with chronic problems.

I am linking in @FurryFriends for you.
 
Sorry not been on to see this message as been on a 48hr shift. As far as I know The piggie is coming in to the rescue.
 
I think you are making the right decision with your little piggie. The rescue will look after him well, he will be in expert hands. It is very difficult looking after a dental piggie full time and holding a job down and family life too. They will look into his dental issues and stabilise his weight. You’ve done a great job keeping him going over the months too.

Yes cost a fortune but I will miss him. He's been great fun. And he hates baths only likes warm wet soapy face cloth.
 
Yes it’s expensive when you have a “dental piggie” and a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. I know you will miss him but he has a good future and they may be able to sort his teeth problems out x

I do miss him. House is quiet now. But need to train my brain and everyone's that he's gone. He loves his new place. Lots of different piggies. That's what piggies are for. Sticking together. 😢🤗🤗🤗

Hope wee piggie is OK I miss him terrible. Hope he's matched up with another piggie friend as he loves cuddles. Wondering if he's eating on his own now. In Switzerland piggies are not aloud to live on their own so I'm happy he sees other piggies now. It was funny seeing all the girlie piggies. I saw his wee face when they came up close to say hello to him. He was happy to see them. 😊😊
 
Aw, you are bound to be missing him but I’m sure the rescue will do their very best to find a companion for him x perhaps after Christmas is over you could give them a ring or email asking them how he is getting along.
