I spoke too soon :( :0
Yes Amanda I'd been taking samples and I was going to take one in next week. Found blood tonight when cleaning and I know it's from Velvey :(
I'm pouring the Patrick juice into her and have her on a stuff for UTI

Sorry to read this :( lots of healing vibes to velvet, hoping the 'Patrick Juice' helps soothe her bladder x x
 
Poor little girl, I'm so sorry she's still having problems.

Sending her lots of healing thoughts.
 
Oh dear Sweetie, just having a check in hoping for some good news

Big loves to Velvey and big hugs to you, you must be shattered.

Fingers crossed for good news soon.

Hi Sue and thanks darling xoxoxoxoxoxo

She is STILL wheeking when peeing !
I've put in a call to Brendan for more advice....
She's better when she's had the Patrick Juice (pearl barley) it really does help!
She had a rough weekend tho, she had an upset tummy (i have been thru my notes and there's nothing there that should've done this) i'm wondering if it's still all the drugs? i just don't know.

She is still so precious when i feed during the night, i've kept up the critical care at 2am to help with tummy issues, and made it less veggies. She now sits there and opens up her mouth for more food x)

Thanks for all the good wishes i know they're helping her XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Hi Glynis

Sorry to hear Velvey is still poorly. I found 1 capsule of cystaid per day mixed with water and syringed stopped Maple bleeding although Why he bled is still mystery as there was no infection or stones. Stress/long car journeys could cause an episode but once on the cystaid any episode was very short-lived. Polyps were suspected even though there were no signs on ultrasound.


Unfortunately Maple had to be helped to The Bridge last week owing to other unconnected issues but a Post-mortem of his bladder etc looked completely normal. I'm still awaiting some histopath results to see if we can shed any light on this unexplained bleeding in piggies which is frustrating both me and my vet.

Cystaid won;t do any harm - its glucoasmine and also helps arthritic pigs so might be worth discussing with Brendan.

Hugs to you all

Oh noooooooooooooooo oh my god i'm so so sorry love :0
Maple was always in our thoughts, he was one of the piggies who whee would send up piggie prayers too, and when i'd be feeding the girls during the night i'd say now Maple needs some wheeky loves and they'd listen intently to me.

HUGE HUGS as i know you tried so very very hard for this dear little man XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

RIP Maple run free at the bridge, you brave boy you tried so hard, enjoy popcorning thru the lush green grassy meadows and munch away on sweet dandelion leafies and long blades of grass, you'll be so very sadly missed by your wonderful and devastated mummy and our family too, but NEVER EVER forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and loads of loves from Glynis, Velvet and Onyx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another little star now twinkling in the sky ..................... :(
 
I'm sorry Velvet is still so poorly - as to the upset stomach, I'm sure the meds can cause this, as they often do with people too. I hope she turns the corner soon ... and permanently.

And Pebble, I'm so sorry about Maple.
 
update 22/8/12

She absolutely scared the heck out of me this morning!
I'd just cleaned out their house, i had fed her the meds and some critical care when she trembled and then coughed/choking sounds.... this went on and on......i rubbed her tummy, her back, i blew into her mouth, i tried to syringe a drop of liquid into her mouth to ease the coughing....nothing was working.
I put her into her house (Onyx was in a cardboard box at time, i keep them separate to observe how much food they get) and she coughed again, it was a real hacking cough her whole body was convulsing (remember it's only 3 weeks since her op!) but then she reached out and ate some hay PHEW
I phoned Traci and spoke to her and she then called me back to suggest using steam, so boiled up water and put a container on top of their house.
Then i looked closely at their hay and thought that looks a bit cr#ppy, so whisked it out and replaced with clean hay. I'm thinking it was dust and that it got into her passages? anyways i left an hour later, she was doing the odd cough but eating......

boy they know how to worry us!

She has her assessment with Brendan at 9am friday morning, she is still wheeking in pain when weeing!
 
That sounds very scary G! Perhaps it was just a bit food that got stuck and finally shifted with a good cough.

Suzy x
 
Poor Velvet, sending lots of love to her and lots and lots of vibes x x
 
Oh gosh that must have really worried you.:... I would have really paniced myself.
 
Oh you poor dears - both you & Velvet. I really hate the thought that she is still in pain when weeing. Being in a chronic pain situation myself, I get really upset when an animal or child is in pain. Good luck at the vet's Friday. I hope he can offer some medication that will truly stop the pain.
 
That would've scared the dickens out of me , Geesh poor lil velvie and you! Maybe she just swallowed some food crooked! Keep us posted... Hugs an wheeks sent to *!
 
Update 24/8

Sorry on mobile and hand feeding it's 2.30am
She is rattly now :(
Seeing Brendan at 9am
Still wheedling when peeing and the odd spot of blood :(
 
Fingers crossed that you can get on top of it - poor girl and poor you! Make sure that you get some sleep!
 
All fingers, toes, paws and claws here are crossed for velvet. Sending lots of hugs and healing vibes, hugs for you too x>>
I hope brendan can work some magic and get her back to normal and pain free x
 
Sending mega vibes for little Velvet and hugs to you Glynis - I do hope Brendan can sort her out for you x
 
Oh Glynis, I'm really sorry to hear that Velvet is still feeling unwell :... I've not had time to post, but I've been pooping in to keep an eye out for any updates on your girly. The day before yesterday I thought one side of my cat Izzy's face was a bit swollen, by yesterday morning it was the size of a golf ball and her eye was closed! So it was of to the vet, who kept her overnight to do some tests and x-rays, luckily it was just a dental abscess, so the tooth was removed today, but I being a bit of a worry wort as Izzy is 15 years old! and she is not my oldest cat!
All the family and are wishing all the very best for Velvet, sending Healing vibes, ((((Hugs)))) and Kisses, and I'll mobilize the troops again tomorrow, for a little extra ooomph xx>>> xx>>> xoxo xoxo :rose

PS. I really didn't mean to make you cry with my last post, I hope they were happy tears, and the whirlwind didn't knock anything over ?/
