In sickness and in health

[maypirate]

I don't know what's going on, but Oni seems to be losing weight. She's just not eating much. I still think it's her teeth but I'm going to look like one of those crazy pet owners when I call the vet again a week later.

She nibbled on her treat stick a little, but she isn't passing much and she doesn't seem really into her food, but she's otherwise cheerful and exploratory so what the hell.

But I was so worried about her last night that I couldn't sleep and ended up just crying. I almost went out and bought something to hand feed her.

I know that I need to make an appointment with a new therapist because I am going insane, but I also need my guinea pig to eat. I can feel her little ribs and hips so clearly. Even my dad said she felt thinner.

I'm just miserable and afraid. Please help me hope for the health of my baby.

Edit: Appointment made for two hours in the future with someone who is good with rodent teeth issues. Now if only time would race by.

*Hugs you and your fluffball* Hope hope hope.

Get yourself a therapist appointment too, lady. It helps.

I hope Oni is okay. I'm glad you got her an appointment so you can at least find out more and hopefully feel better. Pets aren't good at showing when something is wrong so if you're worried it's good to check it out.

I would definitely look into finding a therapist who actually works well for you. It's good to have someone to talk to when you feel insane. You can always talk to me, too, of course, I'm just not a professional!

I hope you and Oni can be happy and healthy!

I'm glad you were able to find someone to take Oni to right away. I know it's frustrating seeing Snickers limping every now and again and wondering "will this finally be it," but he keeps getting better and acts like his normal, happy self. I just fear there will be a day when suddenly he's not okay, kind of like what happened to Boomer.

I wish you very good luck in finding a new therapist. I know it can be a real challenge to find someone, so just be sure to keep looking until you find someone who is compatible with you. And you know you can always talk to me as well.

I'm glad you found someone to help you with Oni. I hope to hear something optimistic! D: I don't think you're insane for worrying about her so much. It would be more alarming if you didn't.

*hugs for you both*
