Where To Get Recovery

[Sarah Beckett]

Hi everyone, recently one of the piggies Tiger ( Tigs ) had been unwell with drooling ,cough , not eating much and she underwent anaesthetic for a dental which found nothing wrong . Since then for some reason she has seemed better and started eating again.At the vets she weighed in at 650g and I weighed her myself yesterday on a digital and non digital scale and she was 550 g . She does appear to be heavier when held so wondering if the vet scales were inaccurate . Also although eating , she is not eating as well as her friend Snuffles who seems to eat all the time and weighs about 1kg . To help Tigs back to normal weight I want to continue syringe feeding her Recovery but don't know where to get it other than the vets .Can it be obtained online ? She is not unwell enough for another consultation with the vets .Advice , thoughts , suggestions appreciated .

If it's a prescription item then you can call up your vet and get them to email you it and you can send it off to viovet as they do prescription items.

If you can't get it online you could just call in your vets and if it's not a prescription item then they should give to you without seeing your wee piggie.

Hope she recovers well x

The recovery sache's you mean? Most vets have them - I don't think you need a prescription. You could probably just go into the vet you're registered at and explain you need to be feeding her recovery. They will sell you the sache's of give them to you I'm sure.
They gave me one when my piggie had an OP and didn't charge.
