Robins tumour update

[Socks' Mum]

She's a super hammy

Hope robin is doing well. Everything crossed here for her. I've used the omnivore critical care for an elderly Syrian in the past it was good for keeping his weight on. I fed it alongside his usual food, veg and a bit of boiled egg every few days.

Thankyou,I am doing the same and she has gained back 8 grams so far. The tumour on her foot is trying to drain her ,but we will keep on as long as she is willing to. Thankfully she enjoys the critical care

The tumour is a little larger now,but she only seems to notice it when she goes to scratch her ears,and switches her feet . She looks at it in disgust,as if to say wth? And then just uses her other feet . Her weight is staying on now

That is positive If she's not biting at it, it sounds like it's not bothering her. Had to laugh at the look of disgust

 

[Socks' Mum]

She's such a sweet girl

That's just right. Their guinea pig meals are brilliant, so I think it should be well received I think it is designed to be possible to administer using a small syringe if necessary, but I found even when Socks was very weak, he could still nibble enough and I think feeding with a teaspoon should work really well. It has a good formulation of nutrients

When my Zelda was really sick I would 1/2 baby food and water and mix the Omnivore Critical Care in that to a soup consistency. I put it in a little soy sauce plate and would offer it that way. She always took it, up until the day she stopped all intake and passed at 2+ years from polycystic organ disease ;(

Thanks for that,but thankfully she loves the taste of the critical care and is still eating her normal food really well. The vet advised me to just give her one lot a day to give her the extra calories due to her tumour draining her

Back to the vets again today for my little one. She came out for cuddles yesterday ,and as you saw by the pics ,she was very bright and happy. However ,her tumour was quite red and angry,so I took her this afternoon ,he had said to go back if any changes . Well,as he picked her up she lost.loads of discharge all over the table,so she is now on industrial strength antibiotics to treat both the tumour and that. He suspects her immunity has dropped and she could possibly have either pyametra or and a UTI. We are in shock.as she has had no previous discharge ( we examine her all the time) I just think it was a blessing that we took her today. Meanwhile ,little one is still enjoying her food and making the best of it.

Hopefully the antibiotics will sort it. So unfair. Stay well little one.

Thankyou Maz

Really hope the antibiotics do the trick for her. Sounds like a stroke of luck that you were in the right place at the right time so you’ve been able to get onto treatment straight away.

Everything crossed for a speedy recovery for Robin. X

I hope it goes OK

Not good news for little Robin I am afraid. He gave her a scan to check if the antibiotics had worked ,and found that it's not pyametra after all,but a weird growth even he doesn't understand,which is causing the pus So we are definitely downto.paliative care now. My poor baby is still so oblivious and happy in herself .

 

[Socks' Mum]

I am very sorry to hear this. I know Robin's last days will be happy with you. It's very sad though
