Tilly is going to need your thoughts again tomorrow! She doesn’t do anything by halves, bless her. The good news is the eye socket is looking really good, with very little discharge of pus. However, I noticed a swelling on her jaw, this morning and although I tried to tell myself that it was pus draining downwards from the eye socket, I knew this wasn’t the case. Simon confirmed my fears and it’s another abscess. Tilly will need further surgery tomorrow to marsupialise the abscess. Hopefully this will ensure her continued recovery! Any donations towards Tilly’s surgery, would be very appreciated and can be made either via the donate button on the Facebook page, by bank transfer to our TEAS bank account, or directly to our vet account, by calling 01604 478888 (please state it’s for Tilly). This little lady has such a zest for life and a determination to get better, that we can’t give up on her, as she’s come this far and has already made huge progress! ❤
 
Oh, dear! Poor Tilly! :(

Fingers VERY firmly crossed for Tilly!
 
Oh no, poor little Tilly :( Hope it all goes well and she’s feeling better again soon x
 
I watched her facebook video on my wifes account yesterday, she loved Tilly and i was saying how full of life she looked, running through that black tunnel👍

Best of wishes for her next op x
 
Good luck Tilley!
Hope it all goes well at the vets, here's wishes for a full & speedy recovery coming your way :hug:
Xx
 
I dropped Tilly and Flossie to the vets just before midday. I am now back on pacing duty! Two GA's in 4 days is worrying, but we had no choice but to get this additional abscess marsupialised. If only it had reared it's ugly head a few days sooner, it could've been dealt with at the same time as the enucleation surgery, but then maybe it would've all been too much for her. I like to think things happen for a reason. I will ring the practice around 3 pm to see how she is.

Thanks for thinking of her. I just hope it is all up and up from now on. I feel sure she will still need regular dental work, but I am feeling more hopeful that she will be able to lead a normal life, if we can get all of this sorted.

I'm upping my donation. I can do more than what i am doing to be fair. Hopefully she gets cured . You never know
 
Same here, thinking of her when looking at my Pedro, what a tough time for her and very similar issues! Really hope this is the end of it for her now the gorgeous girl! She’s definitely a little fighter! Xx

Aww thank you! The poor little thing must've been in so much pain, for such a long time, but hopefully now this will all be a thing of the past and she can start to enjoy food again.

Was she neglected? Or just given up on good terms?

She was far from neglected. Her owner was getting GA dentals for her every month, but sadly she was making no progress. She then contacted us at TEAS to see if we could help and if she could come as a temporary resident. However, just a couple of weeks ago, we took her on as a permanent resident, due to the nature of her dental issue, which meant she was going no more than 10 - 14 days between dentals. However, this may all change now that the abscesses have erupted and hopefully she will start to make some significant progress.

She isn't a good candidate for cure, but who knows? A few years ago I would've said that dental disease couldn't be cured but could be managed. Now many are curing. Particularly those who are taken to Simon quickly and have not had lots of botched dentals elsewhere and only taken as a last ditch attempt. Those that don't completely cure eat normally and just need a quick tidy up of their teeth every so often.

My wifes best friend had a giant lop eared rabbit named Bailey, he got p.t.s because i of dental issues. Its a shame, i didnt know about the cat and rabbit care clinic back then. She uses rhodes vets, they are good but i dont think as good as simon with dentals

I am sure Rhodes are really good, but for rabbits and guinea pigs Simon and Kim are much more knowledgeable.

Really hope she can get on the right path now and definitely has the experts taking care of her :)
I wouldn’t have thought in Oct/nov last year that Ped would still be with me now, he’d never had made it if it wasn’t for Simon. His teeth are the biggest issue now, still got his wonky jaw and dodgy nashers but we’ve gone from teeth filed every three weeks to six, he’s improving all the time. Really hope it’s the same for her. Maybe a slightly faster recovery for her though! :)

I think chinchillas are great little animals, have you ever had to take one in @furryfriends (TEAS) ?
