Well it looks like he has got cancer 
, He said 90% of the time it is cancer is the mamory (sp?) glands. Mel wasn't there and it was the other vet David, but he said it was right to of put him on the baytrill and I've got to carry on with the .4ml for the week. I want to give him the best chance possible, so I said book all the threatments, so he's going in on Monday to have it removed and then it will be tested. It costing me £110 for all his treatment he is an expensive little piggie :lol: :lol:

awwww tree, I had many ratties who got tumours and gave each and everyone of them a chance. You are not being silly getting him treated, you just want whats best for him and this shows what a great mummy you are to him yes, it can be expensive, but you can't put a price on a life

Thanks guys, I feel a lot more positive now, I was feeling a bit cruel earlier, because when I watched one of my relatives die of cancer it was that terrible and such an evil desease I said if any of my animals had cancer I would not put them through any treatment, I would end it to be kind, but I've just given him his meds and he is bright and happy, so I could not take his life from him. I think he wants to live and that's what we'll do.

hi tree, sorry to come in on this late you must be a worried mummy
i wondered the very same thing when my dog tikki was diagnosed with hepatocutaneous syndrome. the vets said there was very little they could do and there was no cure for it. i chose to try homeopathy as it was the only option that i could see that would give him a chance, i am very very glad i did my precious boy is still with me
if you feel in your heart that it is not his time yet (and i know exactly what you mean) then do it, do whatever you feel will help the little guy. if surgery is what will give him a fighting chance, then that is what your heart will tell you to do! (that doesnt mean you wont be nervous though!)
if surgery would have helped tikki, you bet i would have given it a go!
healing vibes winging their way to you both xx
I think you are doing the right thing - one of my guineas, Bailey, was put to sleep last year with mammary cancer. I did not have him operated on due to his age (6) but definitely would have done if he had been younger. You are giving him every chance - will keep everything crossed for him and my girlies send many supportive wheeks!
