I can't offer much help with all you are doing here but I'm rooting for Bigwig and really hope injections and probiotics help her.

I totally get the stress you are under. All through Xmas and...

Yes hopefully. He is being a right pickle today. Definitely living up to his name! [emoji23] xx

Aw bless her. She will put on the weight when she is better. Mischief was skin and bone and I got scared to stroke him as thought I may hurt him!

Now he is being a little piggy and we have to...

Thank you. He is actually very well otherwise. He is eating so much and constantly hugging his bowl and asking for more food. We have had to cut out alfafa and readigrass plus stop junior pellets.

Video would be better idea than taking him I guess. And he only does it when he is eating or cleaning himself (neither of which he will do at vets! ) He does hate the vets and his breathing escalates...

Unfortunately my vets wants £30 for telephone consultation which is same as seeing them face to face and they will not agree to payments being spread out over time.

For that reason it seems better...

Checked his paws and they look clean. His nose is wet though. Will take him to vets again then. We can just about afford antibiotics. I'm just worrying in case he has a blockage or something and...

He has put on weight again. That could be an issue. He is such a piggy and eating everything in sight! Think will need to cut down pellets again. Thank you x

Thank you. I will try and upload video. He is flopped at moment.

He had a lung infection which he has been treated for and just come off diuretics.

I've booked him in for Tuesday when may be...

Just been catching up on Bigwig as not been on here due to illness. Sorry to read she has gone downhill. Really hope she improves with help from vet

We have noticed slight noise when Mischief is eating/cleaning himself. However we woke up this morning and it is definitely noisier. Sounds almost like noise a pidgeon makes!

We rang the vets to...

He must do! I'm sure he loves it when I hold paw and splash it in the water. He watches it with interest and never tries to escape or anything. It's very therapeutic for both of us [emoji178]

Oh I have green teabags in the house! I will try them. It's still not healing and was bleeding again this morning [emoji53]

It probably doesn't help that this morning I went into kitchen and when...

That's interesting. Does it act as an antibacterial wash aswell?

Tbh Mischief loves his paw soaks. He puts his paw in bowl himself and leaves it in there and I sometimes swish his paw about...

Awwww glad she is doing so well! [emoji175]

Like I said to you before the locum vet I saw seemed reserved about prescribing anything other than Baytril and a higher Metacam dose.

By writing to...

I spoke to PDSA vets on phone and they are giving us a week's course of Baytril and some more Loxicom.

She said it could be an infection or maybe where he keeps licking it the area has become...

Poor Victoria Meldrew! [emoji22]

At least she would have had a good home being with you. I love the name though! [emoji23]

There is a big soft swelling under the sore area compared to his...

Sorry to ask again about this but is it usual for the site to be swollen? It is still a bit red and bleeding a little aswell. Not sure whether to get a vet to check it as they missed it last time.
...

Glad to hear she is doing well.
I hope you get some acknowledgement from the original vet that they missed the X-ray prognosis from your letter at least.

It is very unfortunate the white area on her X-ray was missed and if it is quite noticeable then I do think you could speak to them about that.

As far as them giving meds out I found that I had a...

So pleased she has had the lung wash and X-ray/scan already. In the end you didn't have to make the difficult decision on whether to do lung wash and it must be a relief that it's done.

Really...

Oh what a gorgeous fella. He looks a right little character [emoji23] xx

I think you should listen to your heart and gut instinct on this one Liz. She is young and you want to give her the best chance of recovery but it is a risk. Such a difficult decision for you.

Oh no poor Bigwig! What a shock this must be for you *hugs* [emoji22]

I am not able to give any advice as I don't know anything about this at all. I expect your head is all over the place. Did...
