Hi Everybody,

Hope everyone's doing fine. :)
Just to let you know I took Bella & Hero for a dental and general check-up yesterday afternoon.

It was my very first visit to the Cat and Rabbit Clinic.

They were seen by Simon Maddock whom I was very impressed with, he certainly lives up to his reputation as ‘one of the best vets around’

He examined both and handled them very well, Hero was a bit of a handful,:roll: protesting a lot, bless him, but Simon was very good with him.:)

Bella had her teeth successfully filed. Simon reassured me that they both have very good teeth. I had been concerned about this issue for a couple of weeks, but my mind is at rest now, and I left feeling very happy and relieved. :luv:

He gave me some highly valued detailed information and advice, regarding hay, pellets and vitamin C.

I also had questions answered which I could never find answers to elsewhere.

I also happened to meet Debbie of TEAS Guinea Pig Sanctuary, she was very friendly and a very nice lady to meet. :)

Even though it was a long journey there and back it’s definitely worth doing, especially if your suspiscious of any dental problems.:nod:

Here’s a picture of Bella and Hero, for those who don’t know them Bella is my white crested sow, with the Zorro mask and Hero my tri coloured Abyssinian boar with plenty of abbytude! :)) :))

Thank you so much, it was a little bit of a worrying time for me, as i you know I was uncertain what the outcome might be..but it has been a successful one.. I'm so pleased!
 
It was lovely to meet you and your uncle yesterday. Simon is amazing and the reason that TEAS exists. We couldn't do what we do, without him!

It's was nice to meet you also, totally agree about Simon, he does a wonderful job! Hope everything went well with the lovely piggy you bought in yesterday, she was adorable!

She's doing okay but the abscess, although it looks superficial, is actually very deep and goes right through to her nasal passage.

Oh that's a shame, I don't have any experience with abscesses, as their my first two piggies. Is there anything that can be done at the moment to make it at all better for her?

She’s on antibiotics (Zithromax). I’m keeping it open and flushing it daily. Luckily I like dealing with abscesses haha I’m known as ‘The Abscess Queen’
 
That's great! :) She's in the best possible care at the moment then, with someone as experienced like yourself, can't go wrong really.
Oh by the way a little off topic, but I've come across a term known as 'lethal guinea pig' ( I was going to ask yesterday :)))
I've never heard this before, what exactly is one?
