Oh poor baby. That is such a shame. I hope she gets back to her old self soon.
 
Thank you both for asking after Marble. She is very weak. She will not eat unless she is fed. For some reason she will take her medication from my boyfriend better then me. He has been doing the medication and even syringe feeding as she will not open her mouth for me. This morning I was woken by a terrible scream at five. I put the light on and Sophie was chattering at Marble. Marble was on the snuggle bag not making a sound. I do not know what happened but all was fine after. She has an appointment tomorrow to change the dressing on her leg.
 
Gentle hug for Marble and a great big squeezy one for you! I'm addicted to this thread, checking it all through the day for updates.

Oh bless her, at least she is taking food from your boyfriend :) hope she starts to feel more like her old self soon, hugs x
 
Oh poor Marble, hope she picks up soon. x

Poor Marble, she's certainly having a very rough time just now. Sending my best healing thoughts to her.
 
Is Marble eating properly yet? How is she?
 
Marble had her test results back and she has MRSA. I cannot believe it. No wonder her leg is so bad. Her appointment was at 12 and we did not leave until well after 3 as we had to wait around. Nurses eventually came in masks and gloves to change her bandage. She was in so much pain she squealed like anything. I could not bare to see her like that and felt so upset that I fainted! What a useless fool. I actually fainted three times. As she was so sore they then gave her some anastetic to calm her down so they could complete the change of the dressing. They told me and my boyfriend to leave as she kept asking us to rescue her. It was really heart breaking. She now cannot live with the other girls as she is contagious.

Marble is on antibiotics and pain relief now and since we got back she managed some hay and syringe food.

I went to the hospital myself as I have symptoms but they said go to the doctor. So much for that. I will be seen Wednesday.
 
What a nightmare, I am SO sorry for Marble and for you. My heart goes out to you both.
 
I've been lurking on this threading following the saga. So sorry to hear about this latest news. Get well soon, Marble, and look after yourself, too, piggyfan - any more symptoms or if they spread, please please please go back to the hospital. That is not an infection to take any chances with! Sending <<<hugs>>> to all!

Thank you for that. I have an appointment Wednesday and Marble is having her bandage changed Wednesday morning.
 
Oh my god, poor poor Marble and poor you! I think I would have been fainting to MRSA is such a serious infection be very careful! x
 
Her leg is no better. They are talking about amputation. She ate a bit of parsley and hay which is great. She is sleeping in a cabin now.

I am so tired and feel weak. I hope I feel okay tomorrow.
 
oh Piggyfan, i have just read through all of this whole thread, i honestly thought you and suzy were just discussing ovarian cysts, i feel so bad that i havent even read it and made a comment.

I can not believe what you and beautiful Marble have been going through, you poor things, its just one thing after another, how on earth you have coped i will never know.

The picture of you both is beautiful, something you can treasure forever.

I have everything crossed for your beautiful girl, what a crappy infection to end up with after all this, i really hope she gets through this and you can both move on and have some lovely happy piggy times.

Massive vibes are being sent to your girl from me and all my furries, and a massive hug and kiss to you love, you deserve it.

MRSA is such a crappy thing, i dont know if it is a bit daft suggesting this, but maybe gloves, aprons and alcoholic handrub to prevent cross infection? So sorry if that is a daft thing to say, i just wouldnt want any of the others to get it too

My heart totally goes out to you and your special beautiful girl x

Thank you for being so kind. Marble is away from the girls and each time I hold her I have to wash my hands. Apart from that there is nothing else I cam really do.
 
I'm sure I feel like most people that are following Marble's thread - shocked!

I'm almost speechless and can only express my sympathies for you both and commend your strength in keeping up the fight for her. I'm keeping everything crossed for you all.

I cannot believe everything Marble has been through, your such a caring owner to carry on persuing all these treatments, not saying nobody else would but some people only see them 'as just a guinea pig' but we all see them sooo much more differently than just that.

Big hugs to both you and Marble xx
 
Ive just sat and read the whole of this thread. You and Marble have been through so much its one thing after another.
She is being so brave and I commend you for your strength too. She sounds like a special girl. I'm shocked about the MRSA do they know how she got it? Please look after yourself too.
I'm not very good with words but I'm thinking of you and big hugs

MRSA is always around. A lot of people carry it without any effects at all. When you go to hospital, before you're admitted, you have swabs taken (normally up the nose and inner thigh) to see if you're carrying it.

Unfortuanately it takes effect when there's an open wound that's exposed to the the MRSA

Thank you Suzy. I was so shocked to hear she has such a severe infection too. Today she made little noises to be picked up. I think she is feeling lonely as she is on her own. Poor baby.

Aww thank you that is a lovely thing to say. I would do anything for her. I wish this was happening to me and not her as she is so tiny and fragile.

They have no idea how she got it and even how she developed the wound on her leg. She was fine here so I can only imagine she got it there. The wound was so deep and it would have taken a lot to cause it.
 
OMG I've just read through the whole of this thread and am so sorry to hear that Marble (and you) are having such a difficult time. You're obviously devoted to her so it must be so taumatic right now for you.

sending virtual hugs to you all x
