Best wishes for Marble and you, hope it isn't too long before she's back home with you where she belongs!
 
Marble is finally back with me. The vets kept her in all day to examine her eye. I was told by Marble's previous owner she is blind in one eye and a vet examined it and said all was fine. This was not the case. The vet said she has never seen an eye bulge so much and look so bad. The presure could be causing her pain and usually would be removed right away. I am convinced Marble's previous owner lied about taking her to the vet as she has seemed to lie about other things. Her actual operation went well which is wonderful but she developed an absess in her eye. I have to give her three different kinds of eye drops three times a day. I am so upset that I trusted her previous owner. I wish I got her eye checked out myself and maybe she would have been spared this pain and discomfort. I am very upset.

After having her with me for a few hours I put her back with the girls. Amelia Jane was so happy to see her and started chutting and following her about. Peronel sniffed her and Sophie and Amina kissed her. It was so sweet. I am so happy she is back and well. Thank you so much everybody for your support.
 
Oh Piggyfan, I am so pleased that Marble is home with you and OK after her op, but so, so very sorry to hear your distressing news. I wish I could say or do something to take away the hurt you are feeling. Please, please, please remember that it is not your fault you accepted what you were told. It is human nature to want to believe people and accept many things at face value. As animal lovers we tend to expect others who have animals will have cared for them the way we would. Beating yourself up over this will not do you or Marble any good hun x>>

Sending you a huge virtual hug from me and lots of snuggly wheeks from my girls :rose

Gemma, Ginny and Saffy xx
 
I'm glad she's safely home with you, but so very sorry to hear about her eye. At least now she's being very well looked after by you.
 
You must be so relieved to have her back home with you and the girls and I'm sure Marble is enjoying all the gentle TLC in her usual surroundings. Sorry to hear about her eye problem. I hope everything heals up well soon x
 
Marble had a check up today. The vet was a different one. He put a green dye in her eye and found she actually does have some vision in it although not much. She is able to see light and dark. The poor thing had to have her tear ducts syringed which was not nice at all. The vet recommends she has her eye removed as it is swelling which he believes is causing her pain. He has refered her to an eye specialist on Friday. My little girl has been really cared for by all her friends especially Amina who keeps cleaning her eye. The vet said they mean well but are making it worse as their tounge is rough and could be hurting her eye.

I am so upset she has been through all this. I wish I had her when the problem started and could have got her eye removed right away to prevent her any pain. She is now on antibiotics for her eye and also to help heal after her surgery.

It's better to know now, than not at all though! You're doing your best for her, that's all anyone can be expected to do!
 
Poor girl! At least you are giving Marble the best of care! I hope that all goes well on Friday.
 
Unfortunately you can't change the past, so please don't beat yourself up over it hun, it won't help at all and Marble needs you strong and positive. What counts is what you are doing for her now, everything you can to help her and I agree with the others that she's lucky to have a piggie mummy like you who cares.

Lots of special healing wheeks to Marble from Ginny and Saffy and a virtual hug for you from me x>>

Thank you that means a lot to me. I just feel so angry with the previous owner for neglected my little baby. Your words are very kind.
 
Marble saw the eye specialist today. He said she had glaucoma! I cannot believe it was not picked up before. The antibiotics and eye drops have done such a wonderful job that she does not need her eye removed. I am so happy!:):) He said when he had to examine her she was so wriggly for him. Haha. That is my girl. Only good for her parents. She is going to be on antibiotcs for two weeks now.
 
Oh, that is fantastic news, I'm so pleased for her, and of course for you. Please give her a kiss from me.

Excellent news! :))
 
Yay!! Awesome news :)) I am so so pleased for you and for Marble! The girls send her lots and lots of wheeks, and I send kisses and hugs to you both

I just thought I would let you know that Marble had another check up. The vet is pleased with her progress but thinks the drops may be keeping the swelling at bay. She has been taken off the antibiotics and now has to have the eye drops just once a day. Poor baby is so sick of it. I have been ill and my boyfriend has been doing all her medication. She has become quite angry with him biting him and pulling at his tshirt. She cannot understand why she has to be given the medication and restrained.

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've only just seen this whole thread. I'm so glad Marble is well and didn't have to have her eye removed. Poor little lady has been through enough. Not nice previous owners being dishonest but she has a brill piggymomma now, and her little friends to look after her. So glad she's okay xx
 
Oh bless her, poor little thing she doesn't realise it's all to help her. You do look rather happy to be cuddling her, looks like mummy and Marble missed each other. Glad things still seem good for her :)p
 
Marble had a check up today and the vet was really pleased with how her eye is doing. He said to stop the drops and come back next month. This is such a relief as Marble has never got used to having the eye drops each morning and gets very grumpy. I really hope her eye does not swell again. Fingers crossed.-c
 
Marble's eye has flared up again. The vet has put her back on the dreaded eye drops. I am so upset for her as she hates it. She has also started biting so it seems she is in pain. :( They say if after this course of eye drops the same things happen, they will remove the eye. I am so worried after poor Hafina had the same operation. :(
 
I do hope her eyes clear up again with the drops. With any operation there is a risk, but I would imagine spaying has greater risks than removing her eyes and your vet has successfully managed this. I wouldn't get to worried about they eye removal if it needs done.

It's never nice when a pig passes during an Operation especially so close when you may have to have this done, but I know quite a few who have survived this same operation, all is not lost :).
