Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear Tiny White was struggling earlier. I really hope he pulls through. Big hugs to you x x

Lisa I had a brainwave (well sort of!) is Tiny White still pooping?

Yes and I just had him out for his grass (all cut up into tiny pieces) and he ate it all with gusto.

What you thinking?

If he is producing normal pellets he is unlikely to a have blockage, I am guessing thats what Tracy is thinking.

He must be eating to produce poop, I think Tiny will be ok :).
 
He definitely wont be okay i'm afraid to say. He's had another attack and all mucus is coming up. He's suffering - he's suffering alot.

I'm heartbroken as he's such a fighter but honestly if you could see what I can see. It's awful. :(

I am going to have him seen tomorrow and I don't expect he will be coming home with me.

My heart is breaking - I love tiny white so so much :(

I'm sorry Lisa, it sounds awful. I was really hoping what you seen was just a heaving hiccup, but it sounds like it is alot worse now :(.

Poor little one, much love Lisa, my thoughts are with you!

Hugs, xx
 
Sending lots of love to you and Little Red! x>>
 
OMG, I've just read this thread. You poor thing and poor Tiny .. I hope all is ok ... love and hugs xx
 
Oh Lisa I really really hope & pray that Tiny White will be ok, I wish I had some advice or words of wisdom to give but I'm afraid I haven't. All I can say is that you have done a fantastic job so far & I really do admire you for doing it x
 
I'm so sorry Lisa, I feel so much for you. You've been through enough already, I hope that whichever way it goes with Tiny White it is peaceful. I'm next to useless with the "paediatrics" side of piggies unfortunately so no practical advice here, I'm sorry. :(

I've not heard of this happening with adult piggies either so best guess I could offer purely based on symptoms would be respiratory infection, potentially as a result of aspiration, but it doesn't explain everything. Bloat crossed my mind too but doesn't quite add up for that. Could even be a genetic problem. (For some strange reason cystic fibrosis came to mind as an example - failure to thrive, coughing up mucus etc.)

Sending lots of big hugs. xxxxxx
 
Laura I think it's genetic, either that or aspiration.

Tiny has not been syringed but seemed unable to nurse or take from a spoon from the beginning they have gotten milk from soaked bread. But they may have breathed in off that.

Tiny is in my hand now bless them, sleeping. I am not expecting it to be okay.

God bless tiny white

I'm so sorry... I was hoping for better news. Still hoping though and sending all sorts of happy and healthy thoughts to Tiny White.

Hugs!
 
I am so sorry Lisa, poor little Tiny White, I hope things turn out better than expected at the vets tomorrow.
 
Yes I was thinking a bowel problem but if he is pooping then it can't be..I am sure he wouldn't have aspirated from bread and milk, surely if it was genetic it would have affected him/her from the start? I have got my thinking cap on, but I've run out of ideas, so tonight, I am praying for a miracle, and maybe when you get up in the morning Tiny White will be running around perfectly happy. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed..keep us updated please, thinking of you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx HUGS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I've just caught up with this thread & want to say how very sorry i am Lisa :(

I am thinking about you x
 
Really sad to see your thread in the Rainbow Bridge section, this morning. So sorry that Tiny White didn't make it despite your very best efforts. I really feel for you x
 
This is such a shock! I haven't been on for a couple of days. My son was sick and I also had to say goodbye to my beautiful Roxy, my 17 year old cat, she lost her long struggle with kidney failure.
I've been watching Dollycam though and they all looked so active! I'm just devastated, so I can't imagine how you are feeling Lisa. You did your very best for this little family, no-one could've done more. I think Tiny White must've been born with a genetic defect and just wasn't destined for this world. God has called him home and he'll be strong and fit and free from suffering. Love is never wasted and I think we were all touched by this little life and I thank you for sharing him with us.
Big hugs x
 
Thanks. I can't stay on much as it's my daughters 4th birthday Monday and this weekend is all parties although I just don't feel like it. :(

We think they did have a defect which produced the inability to suckle and even take from a spoon. The vet said they had the start of pneumonia and terrible chest. I could have had a go with meds but most likely it would have been a week of slowly getting worse before being faced with the same decision again.

The vet was very sad too which was sweet.

Tiny has left a big hole and will always be remembered.

Bless you Tiny white.

:(
 
aaw lisa how sad. its brought a tear to my eye this topic.

i hope your ok. sending you some happiness from nic, craig and david xxxxx
