Today has not been a good day
its been a bit horrific if im honest
This morning we got the pigs out as usual
we first noticed Pinky had a wet side. We thought "bet lily has peed up her"
went to pick lily up she was soaked...
we looked at her and she looked like she rabies
of course both mum and myself freaked and were shocked
We rang the vets immediately and they werent open yet
so we got her together in the carrying case with pinks
and drove down to get there as the vets were opening up
they very kindly saw us straight away despite being fulled booked
The vet was very kind and persistent, we hadn't seen him before
he gave lily the full check over
her lungs, teeth, stomach were all fine
he said it was like an acid re-flux she was suffering from
she had an injection to help her digestion and we were given this food to mix
into a paste and syringe feed her. he said "if there no improvement in 6-12 hours bring her back"
this was at 9:15am
So we got home and tried her with the food
but everytime we gave it her she would bring it straight up through
her nose and mouth. it was awful to watch. it couldnt have been nice for her.
by 3pm we decided she hadnt improved so we rang up and got the last available
appointment for the day which was 5:15pm
The vet this time put a tube down her throat to her stomach. bless her
to make sure there wasnt any blockages. luckily there wasnt any
He gave her an injection of fluids, a hunger stimulant and a pain killer
basically dosed her up big style
we were to keep trying to syringe feed her
we are taking her back at 10am tomorrow for the same injections if shes improved
if she hasnt improved it wont be a good outcome
we were surprised how trying this vet was and very calm
he was quite optimistic that lily would make it
he came to the conclusion that lily had been poisoned by something
could have been anything, stuff on the grass, moldy foods or hay
we'll never know (not that we give her moldy food dont worry!)
So now lily is downstairs by herself all wrapped up warm
she will be staying indoors over night by herself
to keep her warm as she soaking wet, shes a mess.
Im praying she pulls through. mum has cried a lot today i dont want ether of them to suffer
the little piggies had their first bath today
now theyre fluffy, soft and nice smelling
they were very good ^^
I plan on going school tomorrow
but all depends on lily how she is
if shes unwell i cant leave alone to put her to sleep
oh lily pray you pull through!
