Marble had a check up today at the vets. They have said the best thing is to remove her eye. I know they are right and this is the best thing for her but I am so worried. I feel really upset. When she came back Amina came over to her and cleaned her eye then Amelia Jane started grooming her. It was like they knew she was upset. She was scared at the vets my poor baby. I am so worried about the operation. It is going to be on Friday.
 
Sorry to hear the news about little Marble and her eye. Try not to worry she will be ok. Sending positive vibes and keeping your gorgeous girl in my thoughts. Let us know how she gets on on friday. *hugs*
 
Hi Piggyfan

I'm so sorry to hear that Marble is poorly. The photograph of you holding her is so lovely. :)

I'm sure you feel really upset and angry that the previous owner hadn't been honest about Marble's health before you had her but please don't blame yourself, I think Marble is a very lucky pig to have such a caring and attentive owner.

You recognised the symptoms of the cysts after reading a post on here and got it dealt with straight away, meaning her eye got looked at, at the same time

It must be a worrying time for you to know that she has to have another procedure however having her eye operated on will definitely be better for her in the long run.

Sending lots of healing wheeks

Thank you for such a thoughtful message. I am angry with her previous owner. I want to shout at her! I just really hope all goes well on Friday.
 
HUGS

Having been there with Hafina just before Christmas, I can only sympathise and send my best wishes to Marble and you!

Apart from that she is doing so well. I had not held her for a few days while I was ill and when I did she actually kissed me. I was so touched and happy. :)

I have just collected Marble. She is very dazed and the vet said she has not eaten. Her poor face has been shaved and looks so sore. I am so relieved to have her back. Thank you so much for all the support and kindness especially SueG who has been so caring.
 
Hugs for both of you - fingers crossed she comes round enough to eat soon.

Been thinking of the pair of you all day! Hope she starts to eat again soon!
 
She has not moved from the cabin. The girls are all sniffing near her but not going up to her which seems odd. She ate a little romaine lettuce which is a relief. She is on baytril for a week and has a check up on Monday.

She probably smells funny!

Do you have any critical care or similar? She may well need syringe feeds if she's not eating much.
 
Yes I do. She just ate a little more romaine which is great. We had to block her off to stop the girls stealing it though! They were amazingly persistent. It was funny. Peronel tried to climb over the bed there and Sophie tried to borrow under!

Yeah thats the problem! They ALL want food!

I'd be inclined to give her some CC before you go to bed if shes not eating normally by then.
 
Good idea. I will do that thanks as she is not coming out to have hay with the others. She looks so sad. All of her face is shaved on one side. :(
 
If she is still a bit groggy I would start by offering CC on a spoon first before syringing be careful not to give to much in the syringe if she doesn't take to the spoon as she could aspirate.
 
I think even when we can't notice it, they smell "different" coming home from the vet, and I'm sure that's what the other girls are noticing. I'm glad she's safely home, and you will be a very good piggynurse for the next few days - as Amanda said, she will feel better for this op in the long run.

Such a worrying day for you.
 
I've only just read this to find that poor little Marble has had to have her eye removed. I'm so sorry to read this, but I guess at least she has come round OK from the op. I really do hope she starts eating again soon so she can get well and truly on the mend, and you can take a break from worrying so much about her. BIG HUGS to you and special healing WHEEKS from my girls.

Gemma, Ginny and Saffy

Thank you that is a good point.
 
Have only just caught up with this! Thank goodness Marble is ok, sending her all my healing vibes for tonight, hope she manages to eat a bit more and good luck with the syringe feeding. Hope you get some sleep tonight, will check in again tomorrow to see how she is doing x
 
She is very weak. She will not move when she wees and becomes soaked so I have to keep moving her. I took her out to have vegetables which she ate very slowly. She had critical care last night and today and ate some hay when it was put in front of her. She is so jumpy and nervous. When we were on my bed one of the girls were eating and coughed and she run and hid under me. Poor little baby.

Thank you for asking about her.

Aww bless! She'll get better.

Good idea to keep her moving - they can get sore feet from their urine.
