Hi everyone,

As you know, poor Teddy has been very ill. well, he's not getting any better despite my best efforts :'( As much as it breaks my heart, he needs to go back home to Deb so that he can get frequent and fast help when he needs it :'(

can anyone help with a piggy run from London/Herts to Shropshire or even part of the way? I'm no help at all I'm afraid because I don't drive and my husband.....well, I'm not allowed to say on a family forum :tickedoff:

If anyone could help, we would be very grateful.
Thank you
xx
 
Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear this. Sadly I dont drive either but i really hope that you get something sorted out
 
Thanks Jen,

I just can't believe this has happened again. The rodentologist assures me that its absolutely nothing I'm doing wrong but I can't help but blame myself. :'(

But don't worry, the piggy world can rest easy, I will never ever get another one :'(
 
Thanks to the lovely Kelly and Mike for coming to our rescue :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: What would I do without my darling friends? :smitten: :smitten:
 
I can't Glynis, I'm just too scared :'( I'm even wondering if I should re-home Mildred too. :'(
 
No love, please don't you're a beautiful mummy, you've just had some horrible bad luck, like we all have at times.
Mildred needs you even more now and you need her company :-* :-* :-*
Teddy will understand cause he know you love him and you're doing this just for him, if you weren't a good mummy you wouldn't worry would you...... gosh you're doing a wonderful thing you rehomed him and then you've learnt that he needs regular treatment so you've let him go to where it will be best for him :-*

<hugs> for you, and piggie kisses from Duke we wuvs you :smitten: :smitten:
 
I felt like that too.

my rabbit died of old age in august, then in october my first ever piggy died of kidney failure (and I did all I could, even taking her to the cct), and I took a rescue piggy in that was in bad health already and just died on my two weeks later.. I was shattered.

When I had to put my favourite piggy Marvin to sleep because of pneumonia in November, I thought: This is it. They keep dying on me. It must be my fault, I am doing something wrong, I am such a bad person, those piggies would be better off without me, I think I should rehome the ones I have left, Its my fault its my fault its my fault...

Which wasnt true. I just had bad luck, if a piggies time has come, then it has come, and I just have to accept that sometimes there is nothing I can do about it. I told my OH that I wanted to give Milka and Mabel away, because I didnt want to put them at risk aswell, by keeping them with me, seeing as I am such a bad piggy mum.. He just looked at me and said I dont think you should do it.

I asked why, and he said because it would make you sad. Because I dont think you could be without them. You love animals.

And he was right - I couldnt give them away in the end.

I think you might find you feel the same in a while.

Keep your head up! *hugs*
 
I just want to do the best for them all. If I can't look after them, they deserve a better life :'(
 
thats what I thought, after four pets dying in half a year. I thought "well that cant be coincidence, can it".

but it was. very sad, but still, not my fault.

just like it isnt yours.
 
Keep on helping those piggies, things will improve, I know because I lost 4 last year over a 7 month period all to different things and despite loads of visits to the vets .
 
What scares me most is that, if she gets sick, I have to try and get her to the rodentologist (i really don't trust vets). Hubby has said that he'll never take me there again :tickedoff:

A few evils the weekend then! ;)
 
Just a quickie update on Teddy now gone back to being called Thistle.

Hes currently staying with a rodentologist, who is giving him the best of care. Its been very touch and go but as of yesterday he seems to have finally turned a bit of a corner and is making efforts to eat by himself. :) Before that it was syringe feeding.

So lots of healing vibes please for him, that he continues to make an effort and gets stronger. We are cautiously optimistic at the moment. Just hoped I haven't jinxed things now by doing an update.

thats wonderful news about Teddy/thistle hope he improves daily, as for not getting any more because you have lost so many well me and furryfriends Debbie can only say to you we too lost a few too many of our darlings at the begining of this year and both felt exactly the same but we got through it and now see it as bad coincidence we both keep quite few pigs so the numbers means this happens quite often but we know what you feel and you must realise this is nature we are involved with and she makes her own rules up , so chin up ;)
 
Fingers crossed, Thistle is coming home tomorrow. :) Woohoo!

Hes still not eating properly on his own, but hes doing a lot lot better, and is at least making the attempt, whereas he wasnt before. So its time for him to come home and see how we get along, I will still have to syringe feed him and keep an eye on his weight, and if he takes a turn for the worst again, he will have to go back to the rodentologists, maybe permanently. But I hope it doenst come to that, will take each day as it comes.

Be nice to see the fella again, hes been gone a month now.

Lovely news Deb! Keep up the good work Thistle! O0
