[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Dehydrated Piggy

[Heather Eickmeyer]

Seussy is seriously dehydrated.  He's urine is an orangish color and no
matter what I do, I can't seem to hydrate him properly.  I'm syringing him
pedialyte, apple juice and water.  Plus, he's getting lots of red-leaf
lettuce.  I took him to the vet yesterday for a subcutaneous fluid injection
and he's going again tomorrow.  What else can I do?

Seussy was recently diagnosed with cancer.  I took him the vet two weeks ago
to check a lump.  The vet thought it was an abscess and put him on
antibiotics.  On his next checkup, his vet decided to remove the abscess.
Instead she discovered a tumor and the biopsy showed that it was malignant.
I can't tell you how devastating this has been.  He eats a little here and
there and is still very mobile.  He just will not drink from his water
bottles.   I'm syringing him Critical Care.  I just don't know what to do.
I feel lost.

His brother, Hamlet, LAPS Secretary, has also been sick.  He had a stone and
the vet removed it three weeks ago tomorrow.  He's finally back to normal
and hungrier than ever!  Thank goodness for that miracle.

Please say a pray for my Seussy and Hamlet. If you have an advice, please
write me.
Thank you!
