Good girl Treacy xx>>>
Have thought so much about you since you shared your sad news and am rooting for Treacy - sounds as though she is doing really well :))
Hugs x>>
 
I have only just had a chance to read this, am sorry to hear your news.
 
Glad Treacle is doing ok & maintaining her weight. Corn is a great treat in our house too :)
 
Oh no another gorgeous piggy with lymphoma. After going through this with Rum I feel for you. Rum lived four weeks from diagnosis. It was the first time I had dealt with a terminal illness so I felt helpless but at least I had this forum.
Enjoy lovely Treacle while she is here and hugs.

Thank you, I remember your little Rum well.

Treacle is unfortunately suffering a reoccurrence of her cystitis today, we have bloody wee. I can't give metacam because of the steroid, have spoken to our vet this evening who has told us to give her some Septrin in case it a uti and we are to pick up some opiate based pain relief tomorrow.

Thank you all for your lovely messages, your support means so much to us both. X
 
come on beautiful Treacle, we are all routing for you x

ps/ big hugs to your mummy & daddy, hope they are coping ok xx

Thinking of you all x
 
Poor Treacle. It was really hard going through it with our Barbra. Hugs to you all and give a kiss to Treacle from us all
 
Patrick did very well when he was on Tramadol with his steroid injections. I think he turned into a little Tramadol junkie used to run up for his dose :)).

The steroid should hopefully also take down some inflamation in the bladder, perhaps make her some barley water, it's meant to soothe the bladder.

We're all rooting on little Treacle, she most certainly is a strong piggy :). X

haha tramadol junkie, have visions of the late Patrick in a totally new light!
 
Hi Lee and Rach. I'm so sorry to hear about Treacle's diagnosis. But no matter how long she still has with you, you can rest easy that she's known more love and devotion than most piggies ever have in their lives. She is a very lucky girl to be living with two people who adore every hair on her body! Take care, we're thinking of you x
 
We are not having a good night unfortunately :( She has been a little quiet both yesterday and today. She is still eating but is less energetic, especially today where she has slept most of the time.
I am hoping it is the Septrin for her UTI which maybe causing it, as her poos are a little off and mucasy, she often reacts a little to AB's. She hasn't squeaked when weeing so I have stopped it tonight a couple of days short. But I feel this maybe wishful thinking. Her eyes seem a little duller too.

She has another Steroid shot next Wednesday. Our vet said they last up to 3 weeks in the dose she'd given her. I was so full of beans a week ago we how she reacted straight after the steroid and I suppose had a little bit of denial of it all. I have a few days off over Easter and am hoping she'll still be with us for then, but will not let her suffer so it is out of my hands.

Thanks for thinking of her x x
 
Good that you have some time off with her. The steroid must have had a good effect but I guess there's a limit to how often she can have it.

Best wishes to you, it's always a difficult time xx
 
I've read in the past mucous poo's are either caused by a gut imbalance or dehydration, maybe syringe a bit of water if you haven't done this already, I'm sure I've read previously she's a big Avripro fan so imagine your already giving water and probiotics.

Sorry to hear she's not doing good, give her a gentle stroke and cuddle from me. x
 
Oh..... Just wanted to say thinking of you all and hope your little treacle perks up and has a rested night x
 
Treacle bloated during the night. Luckily we had Emeprid on hand and think we are over the worst of it. I really thought it was her time until we realised the bloat, we slept downstairs with her so we could give her medicines and fluids. She is nibbling hay and I am CCing in a while. She is still fluffed up but is responsive to us and even came to the bars when called this morning a far cry from midnight last night. It normally takes her 24 hours to get over a bloaty episode, so will take it from there.
I wish I'd stopped the antibiotics earlier, I thought they were upsetting her system. Just hope we can get her through this. To top the night off Meggy Moo is hooting and seems to have a URI so a vets visit this afternoon for sure there.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts and posts x
 
Oh Lee! You poor things.

Glad Treacle is showing a sign on improvement and coming over to the bars, more healing vibes for her. And Little Meggy poo...... bless her, hope some AB's soon kick that into touch healing vibes for her too. hugs and kisses all round from us x
 
Oh dear, what a night for you all. With guineas I think it never rains but it pours...

Hope all is settling down again now. Best wishes to you all for a better day :)
 
Just to update, got back from vets, Meg has a URI but apart from the hooting you wouldn't know with her. She really is a bundle of noise.

Treacle is on emeprid twice daily from now on, she is a little perkier and has just ate some critical care from off a spoon on my lap. We may be bringing the steroid forward to Friday, depending on what we see when the bloat issue subsides.
 
it all happens at once doesn't it. sorry to hear meg has a uri. glad treacle had perked up a little. hugs to you aswell x
 
Am sorry Meg is hooting, have a look at the link to the article I posted yesterday to check she has none of the other heart pig symptoms.
