Monty would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has entered the photo competitions to raise money for the Sanctuary.

Monty has recently been quite poorly due to developing a retrobulbar abscess, in addition to his dental problems. I was worried that he might lose his eye. However, after being on Zithromax for about 10 days, his eye is looking very much better and the abscess seems to be reducing and the hope is that is his body will reabsorb the pus as the infection is cleared by the use of the antibiotic. He will be remaining on Zithromax for another couple of weeks.

He saw Simon today for his regular dental and he was delighted with Monty's progress. Here is a pic of him with uncle Simon after having his teeth filed. Take a look at Simon's top! It's a present from some forum members!

 
Awwww Monty :love:

it's great to see how raising money through the photo competitions has had a direct impact on his life for the better. Thanks to everyone who entered and voted!
 
So glad that Monty is recovering well. It is always such an anxious time!

PS: Love Simon's T-shirt!
 
Very glad to see Monty is feeling better and loving the T-shirt, it's a title Simon is very deserving of!
 
He's lovely, even better in real life. I had the pleasure to meet him when I popped into see Debbie on Wednesday when I took Minky to see Simon.
 
That's excellent news that Monty is on the road to recovery, he looks gorgeous in Simons arms. It's like a double whammy...Monty being shy because he's a proper royal because he gets special private treatment on his teeth, good job it's not veneers! :whistle: And Simon being so photogenic:woot: with his great t-shirt on.:lol!:
 
Well Monty has just had his weigh in and he is almost up to a kilo. This is a huge improvement on the weight of 800g when he became unwell with the retrobulbar abscess. I am so pleased that we are dealing with it without the need to remove his eye.

We are so lucky to have Simon and he's such a lovely and caring man. The piggies always get lots of cuddles from him.
 
Monty is gaining weight well, but unfortunately the retrobulbar abscess isn't responding to the Zithromax, so we have now started him on injectable Marbocyl. I am injecting him every evening, and really hope that this will help get things under control He is booked in to see Simon again next Thursday, but I think we may be needing to see him on Monday.

Love the photo! Sorry to hear Monty has had this setback, but I'm sure you & Simon will keep on top of things.
 
Good luck with Monty, glad he is gaining weight but sorry about his abscess :( Hope he is feeling better soon. ((sending healing hugs to Monty))
 
I am going to be sat outside Cat and Rabbit Clinic in the morning waiting for them to open. Monty's eye is really concerning me, and it now looks very inflamed and has gone opaque, like they do when you get a hay poke injury. I am wondering if we could have two things going on here now and whether he does in fact have a hay poke injury as his eye would be more likely to get poked due to the fact it is bulging! I will feel much happier once Simon has had a look at it, but it is really worrying me now.
