Dear Piggie friends,
Well its with great relief that I am able to tell you that little Amanda is doing better. Such a scare indeed.  we noticed first thing on Tues morning that she wasnt herself. And after talking with some of you in the chat room which gave me some good ideas to check and try on Amanda, I am glad to say that by 5 oclock last nite she started eating herself! I started her on CC mixed with pumpkin, as I was told that pumpkin can help with gas in the tummy if that is what she had. I really don't know what was the real reason for her doing this was, but between the CC, and massages, and extra warmth and metoclopromide ( used to promote GI tract and appetite) she seems to have done a turn for the best! She never had any respiratory signs, just was puffed up and lifeless and not eating. (all scary stuff!) but once she had several doese of  c.c. in her and the metoclopromide  twice she seemed to come back to life.  It was soo good to see her come to the
 front of the cage this morning to get her vitamin c tablet. Its something she enjoys very much before her morning veg plate. and just yesterday she didnt have the strength to move!  I still have her appt for thurs with the vet. As I still really dont know what was wrong with her. But she seems to be back and I wanted to thank you for all  your healing emails, thoughts, and prayers for her as I am certain that is what helped her too!Will keep you informed if anything changes.
Thank you so much! I was a nervous wreck yesterday for sure..
thank you!
Jean & Andy and the misfits
