Oh Marble! :laluot_29: I'm still crossing everything.
You must be so stressed out hun, (((((HUGE CUDDLY HUGS)))))
 
I am so stressed. I think that is why I am actually ill now. I feel really useless because she will only take food from Matthew and not me. I wish I could feed her too. She must prefer him. My rabbit prefers him too. Waa waa! I am feeling sorry for myself. I hope tomorrow is not too painful for her. When they take the bandages off she squeals. Poor baby.

It's not a case of her prefering him over you, it's all about technique.

Also, because you're so emotionally attached to Marble, it makes it 100x harder!

Big hugs to the pair of you. Thank you so much for your kind words yesterday!
 
Oh thanks Amanda. That is good to know. You are so welcome. You have had an awful experience.
 
Come on, little Marble - please try and eat some more. This is awful for you, and so hard on your Mum. I'm still sending all my positive thought waves in your direction.
 
Don't be silly, your not useless and I'm sure Marble doesn't prefer Matthew. Amanda is absolutely right, it's the technique and it is much harder when we are attached to them.

I hope Marble gets better soon and tomorrow isn't to painful. x

Thank you Sue. I have put the guardian piggy over Marble's side of the cage and I am sure it is going to be lucky.
 
Marble had her wound cleaned today. She did not even make a fuss as she is so brave. The bandage has caused a friction burn on her shoulder which they are concerned about. She seems to like the saline solution. I guess it must feel soothing for her inflamed skin. She has to go back Monday and is still in pain relief injections. I am amazed by how brave she is. The vet said she should be eating now so no need to continue with critical care but I do not agree with that.
 
Oh poor girl, now a friction burn to contend with! C'mon Marble, get better for your Mummy. :laluot_29:
 
I'm glad to hear Marble got on better today, I do hope this is her turning point. Time to start Rallying for your mummy Marble!

Glad to hear she is doing a little better! We're all sending her our vibes! Let's hope she's on her way to recovery!
 
Oh my lord! I've just read through all this thread (not the best idea since I did my makeup for the night and now it's halfway down my face). I hope little Marble starts to perk up now and that she's finally on the mend. I can't believe how long the battle has been going on for.

Just remember in all the drama, to look after yourself as well. Marble will pick up if you're stressed/under the weather.

Lots of vibes x
 
She ate a little cucumber and is now resting. Amelia Jane keeps biting the bars to attract her attention as she misses her. It is so cute.
 
Awwww, what a shame she can't be with her friends. Glad she's eating. x
 
OMG ! What a time you and Marble are going through :( Sorry I missed this since a very early post or 2 and didnt realise what was happening. Just read through it all and I am stunned / shocked / speachless.

Really hope things start looking up for Marble and you soon (like now).

Weeks / Months worth of healing vibes are being sent your way,

Hugs

Marble is in a lot more pain. They cleaned her wound and did not give her pain relief as she has such a lot of medication. Her foot is like a black clump as it is full of dried blood. Her shoulder is healing and they left it uncovered as they did not want the bandage to rub. She is booked in for an operation on Thursday to have the dead cells removed and possibly have work done on her teeth. She seems to be in a lot more pain and they have said to give her three injections rather then two now. She just seems to lonely and goes to the bars to see her friends. I have been holding her a lot but she wants her friends. It goes to show how much guinea pigs need company of their own kind.
 
I had to rush Marble to the vets today as her breathing was rapid and raspy. They gave her an xray and did not find anything. They think it is the pain. They have decided the best thing to do is to amputate her leg. They have been trying so hard to save it but she is in so much pain and they do not want her to be suffering like this. She is booked in to have the operation tomorrow afternoon.

Marble is so much weaker and more unhappy today. I am so worried about her and the operation is going to be tough. She has been through so much. I really hope she can get through this.
 
Oh no! I'm so sorry hun, that's awful news. 8... You must be at your wit's end. (((((big hugs)))))
I will cross everything for her. :laluot_29::laluot_29::laluot_29:
 
:( i'm so sorry to read this. Sending her all my healing vibes, will be thinking of you both tomorrow x
 
Oh no I'm so sorry, you must be worried sick about her. Poor marble, lots of gentle snuggles and healing vibes being sent your way to both of you.

Sarah x
