Bad news. I thought Ebony was getting back on the road to recovery. She was slowly eating veg, and was digging in to the piggy mix. But tonight we helped her cross the bridge.
Then this morning when i checked on her she looked really unhappy. So we booked a vet appointment. The only time we could get was at 7.30pm.
Only last night me and mum were speaking about Ebony being unwell, and how she might have internal problems. We didn't know how old she was so she could have have a number of problems.
Well, throughout today, we noticed she had been drinking a lot of water. I knew then it was her kidneys.
We went to the vet, we saw our normal vet, Mark. Hes a great vet. He has two piggies of his own (one of which has an abcess on his face, and is recovering from treatment). Well, anyways...my prediction was right. Ebony was not normally a noisy piggy but as soon as Mark touched the area of her kidneys she "wheeked". She was not a happy girly!!
Mark, basically said that kidney failure is not noticed until 75% of the kidney tissues are distroyed. And Kidney tissue can not be rebuilt. There is no cure. We felt it best that we helped her on her way, before she got any worse. Piggies are just too good at hiding what is wrong. And with Ebonys teeth breaking we just thought that she lost weight because she wasn't eating.
