Purdy isn't very well at the moment..... she's had diarrhoea and has stopped eating. We were due to go to the rodentologist on Thursday anyway so we took Purdy to see her and she's kept her in to see if she can help her (I was struggling to get syringe feed down her). I'm worried sick and terrified of the phone ringing. I'm afraid that I might lose her and I'm not even over Jack yet. I'm hoping to get an update today and I'm praying that it's good news. I know she's 7 1/2 and I may not have her for very much longer but I'm still scared of her leaving me.

I'm sorry to hear about Purdy. I hope the news is good later today. You have done very well though and must have looked after her with great care as 7 1/2 yrs is a fantastic age for a guineapig and not many are fortunate enough to reach such a great age.

Thank you delukem. We're still waiting for an update and have left a message but I know the rodentologist is very busy. My stomach is in knots and I just want to hear some good news.

Oh cavymaniac, please keep us updated on how Purdy is doing, I do hope she will be ok, fingers crossed, I know your having a bad time lately so lets hope shes ok and its good news, I know what its like to have an old piggie, my Honey is 6 and you do worry about them more.
One of my piggies was poorly earlier on this year with diarrhea and wouldnt eat, she was very poorly, I too had to syringe feed her for two weeks, and shes made a full recovery.
Im keeping my fingers crossed for you, hugs and take care,
Vickie

Thank you both. We've not heard anything yet so I'm a nervous wreck. My hubby keeps telling me that no news is good news but I'm still very worried.

We've just had word from the rodentologist and Purdy is doing ok. She's taking syringe feeds well and is starting to show interest in food. The rodentologist thinks she may have a urinary infection so Purdy will stay with her while she's treated. I'm so relieved but obviously I'm still concerned because of her age.

I hope she gets well soon. It's good that she's taking food again anyway, that'll keep her strength up. Thinking of you both.

Thanks Dawn and Orlaith. I finally managed to get a decent nights sleep last night as I've been so worried about her. I'm missing her loads but I know she is in very good hands and have got everything crossed that she recovers from this.

Thank you. No more news yet so hopefully that means she's no worse. We've got to take Ruby to see the rodentologist on Thursday for her routine teeth trim (she has to have them clipped every fortnight as she has two missing teeth) so we should get a full update then.

Thanks Kayleigh! She's my oldest ever piggy (previous oldest was 7) so I have been trying to keep an extra eye on her and make life more comfortable for her. Fingers crossed she'll be home before too long.
