Worried about piggies!

[Janey]

OMG he’s eating hay! I’m so happy! How silly is it to get so worried!

Not silly at all - we’ve all been there. Great that he’s taking mushed pellets and starting to eat hay!

 

[Nadsgirl75]

So if he’s had 5ml should I try another 5 later this evening?

Its not silly to get worried we have all been worried about our little fluffy spuds at some point or another. That's what great about this Forum everyone understands what your going through.

 

[Nadsgirl75]

Thanks for the advice and support

 

[Betsy]

That's what we're here for!

Yes try him every few hours if you can.

Ok so he’s had 5 more mls of mushed pellets and is now eating the dried pellets in the cage, as well as hay nibbling which is good. But he’s lost another 5g today which is not what I want. If no better by tomorrow then another trip to vets I think

Well we haven’t had any whimpering for a few hours and Donald is currently doing laps around the cage! Upstairs and down! Mickey looks a little bemused! I think he might be starting to feel a little better!

 

[Nadsgirl75]

And he’s now eating pellets and hay! I’m sooo happy!

 

[flowerfairy]

[Nadsgirl75]

And I think we’ve had 2 wees without any whimpering!

A 13 hour shift That's a long day and a long way from Northampton! Do you have the same tomorrow? What took you such a long way from home?

So we’ve had no whimpering overnight that I know of... I’ve been sleeping in the living room with them and I’m a pretty light sleeper so I'm
Fairly confident there hasn’t been any whimpering. When I woke up this morning Donald was in the hay box, buried and is now tucking into his veggies in his loft so he has them without Mickey stealing them. He’s just raced down the ramp and stolen some of mickeys veggies! Now doing laps and zombies, Mickey clearly isn’t it he mood but Donald just wants to celebrate that he feels much better! Usually weigh them on an evening so will wait but when I held Donald this morning for his meds he felt a little more
Plump so I’m hopeful he’s headed in the right direction.

That's brilliant. Fingers crossed he keeps improving and fully recovers.

Thats nothing. I have worked in cork and wick and inverness lol

 

[Nadsgirl75]

Both boys enjoying laptime!

 

[Nadsgirl75]

Donald feeling well enough to give Mickey a quick groom. Making up for lost time whilst being poorly!

 

[Nadsgirl75]

Fast asleep!

 

[Nadsgirl75]

 

[Betsy]

Aw Donald you is luvlee! I'm glad you're feeling better.

 

[Nadsgirl75]

He’s a little darling! Mickey is gorgeous but will only tolerate laptime for so long. Donald would sit there all day if I let him!

 

[Nadsgirl75]

One last picture of just how gorgeous this little fella is
