Could you all send your love to the beautiful, and most loving little piggie, Percy-Roos next door neighbour Maisie-Moo.

Her condition has rapidly deteriorated in the past week, at first her weight seemed to fall off her and now she is so skeletal, and not eating. I can't believe how small she has become too, Maisie has become so tiny too.

Maisie has been to the vets but nothing more can be done for her, apart from keeping her warm, safe and secure, the vet believes that she has diabetes which has never been noticed before. As she is very ill at the moment, we have been advised to let nature take its course. :(

Maisie is currently indoors with her life long huspig Dylan cuddled up in one of my pyramid beds, sleeping, she is being syringe fed at the moment in hope that it might pull her through, but little Moo is very sleepy and quiet.


Maise with her good friend, Percy-Roo, a pigture only taken two weeks ago.

On behalf of Maise, my future mum in law, my family and myself I'd like forum members to send their healing vibes and for a peaceful passing.

Thank you xxxxxx
 
vibes for either a peaceful passing, or even better a recovery. gentle hugs to maise and dylan x
 
aawwwww :(

God Bless you Maisie-Moo, I hope that the angels take you peacefully to popcorn over the bridge with all the beautiful little piggies already there.

We are keeping our fingers, toes crossed for a recovery but it doesn't at all look good. Shes so lethargic, not wheeking (normally she'll talk your head off) and just sleeping. Shes also went from 820g to 600 in a week. :( But just maybe a miracle might happen!

Thank you for the huggles. x

lots of gentle cuddles from me and my piggies thinkin of you at this sad time x:(
 
I'm sorry to hear Maisie is poorly :(.
What a pretty lady, may you popcorn happily across the bridge knowing how much you were loved :rose

Big hugs to you and your in-laws, Laura.
 
Poor maisie :( I hope you recover little piggie but if not have a peaceful passingxxx

p.s. i don't know how long she hasnt eaten for but i found a tonic that makes pigs appetite perk up its called Metatone. The dose is 0.5ml daily for a week and then drop down to 0.3ml. A 1ml dose of honey is good for a little bit of energy also if you wanted to try this. I hope its not to late and fingers crossed she could recover xxxxx

Thank you for the vibes. She didn't eat for a whole day until my future sister in law told me she hadn't eaten which i then quickly made up some critical care and syringe fed her that. Although I/we have been feeding her four times a day of CC the weight is still falling off her. :(

Oo thank you, Metatone is a prescribed tonic or can you buy it online/shops? Thank you, we have some honey in so we'll give her some of that too.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Maisie. :( Thinking of you and all your family and sending lots of healing vibes!

Aww poor little piggie, they go downhill so fast don't they :(

Metatone is a human tonic and I got mine from the vets i work at but i just googled it and you can get it online and in places like boots, lloyds pharmacy, asda etc so i would probably get it from somewhere like that then you can have it faster :) I hope shes ok.x>>x>>

They do, its awful, its also really suprised me that although shes not my piggie, ive grown so attached to her. On the mornings when i feed the boys, i end up feeding Maise and the herd a little bit extra veggies as she shouts at me if i don't rolleyes :)) and to see her like this is so sad.

THank you, I'm going to take a looksie at work tomorrow and take some home with me hopefully it'll help pull her round a little.

Thank you Sport Billy for the vibes and love to Maise x
 
Aww hehe bless her :) I know i've nursed a few pigs and each time i end up attached. But hopefully your gonna catch it fast and perk her up! Another little remedy to try malt extract-doesn't get them eating again but it provides protein and fibre which may help her out. I've got everything crossed for you and maisie x
 
Awwww...so sad. Those photos are just beautiful. Big hugs to Maisie and all her piggy friends and human friends. Thinking about you and hoping for the best possible outcome, whatever that may be x

Thank you, do you run a rescue? You sound very knowledgable! :))

When Artie was ill last year, with a URI, eye infection and cold I thought I was going to lose him too. He was so ill, I fed him up on porriage oates and mushed pellets (at the time i didn't know of CC) Heres a wee photo of him with my OH:

Thank you for the malt extract tip too, ive just wrote it down in my piggie book and we'll try Masie on that too. ANything to get her to gain weight!
 
Hehe no I don't, I'm a veterinary nurse. I've just had a lot of bad luck with pigs in the last year and have researched a lot of different things to help. I also follow Peter Gurneys methods to help mostly, I have his book "Piggy Potions" it has all herbal remedies for problems. Its out of print now so I had to pay £40 for it but so worth it :) Artie looks gorgeous! Did he survive his illnesses? x

Ahhh wow, a veterinary nurse (my dream job :)) ) do you work a lot with small animals?

Oo I have heard about that book, but its so hard to get hold of maybe one day ill get it.:)

Yep, he survived his illness and now is one of the largest guinea pig you'll ever meet :))

We mainly get dogs and cats but we do get Piggies and rabbits a lot more now. Ive started doing Guinea Pig Clinics at the vets where I work so it's brought a lot more pigs in to us, which i love! Its my dream job, i love it :)

I got the book off ebay, heres one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Piggy-Pot...Non_Fiction&hash=item4aae098918#ht_1293wt_905

thats a great price for it! I'd get in there and buy it before someone else does hehe :)) People ask £100s and I paid £40.

Aww thats so great he did, and I love that hes the biggest pig now! It must of been all the oats you fed him while he was ill ;)

If she's diabetic, maybe not? Maybe a mash of high-protein low-glucose veggies, such as spinach and oats?

I have no knowledge of diabetes in guinea pigs, but a human diabetes diet would include foods with a low glycemic index and higher protein, because the food's sugar would build up in the blood and the body's muscle protein would be digested to get the needed glucose, so a food with little or no sugar and higher protein would offset what the diabetes does.
 
Oh Laura, how very sad and painful for you. I had a huge lump in my throat reading this but broke when I saw that pic of Percy-Roo waiting for her 8...
Sending sweet Maisie lots of warm and gentle cuddles and we know miracles do happen so tell her to hang on and not give up too soon.
Hugs to you too hun x>>

Awwww thats brilliant that you've started a small animal clinic, i certainly think they're needs to be more around. My local vet is fantastic, shes young but very knowledgeable of small animals, she also takes them very seriously too, like when i took Thims my hamster in. :)

Ooo thank you for the link although it was sold ebay took me to another link which is the same book for £30

Haha! Yep i certainly think its those oates, and he still loves his porriagey goodness too!

Thank you i did think that after writing back my hamster, Thims, suffers from a condition (the name which escapes me) where his blood sugar levels drop to a low level where by he fits if he doesnt receive sugar.

I'll get some spinach tomorrow as we dont have any in. Thank you Pat, and give Red a chin tickle from myself. x

Oohhh thank you for the vibes and love to Maisie, she needs them during this difficult time. Hopefully just hopefully something wonderful might just happen.

If not I hope she passes during her piggie dreams, knowing shes much loved and has lived a loving life.
