Today I was chilling in my cage laying on top of my fleecy tunnel and I over heard something alarming.
The boring big slave was clattering around with the carrier, and then said something about a trip to the vet.
I just assumed she meant a trip to the vet for one of the other animals that lives here, but then the little slave started suggesting that maybe she could add lots of snacks for the journey and I realised they meant ME!
Apparently I have to go to the vet tomorrow, which I have decided to be very grumpy about.

The last time I saw this vet the big slave warned him that I bite, so when he picked me up I flopped in his arms and gave one of my lovely purrs - the vet (who is a qualified person and knows a lot about animals) said I was an absolute delight.
The big slave muttered boring things under her breath, but I wasn't listening because she is not qualified in guinea pigs at all.

So tomorrow I am going to the vet, which is totally unnecessary.
The big slave says it is i have done something awful to my front teeth again and they need to be checked.
I plan to give her a nip at the first opportunity to show her that my teeth are fine.
I hope the vet reminds her how delightful I am.

Love Ruby xx

Dear Ruby,

I understand your pain. The slaves have no idea what's best for us. My slave said I had a UTI last year, so I had to have antibiotics (which were actually very yummy), but I don't NEED medicine because I'm invincible. Even my husband Oscar agrees - he had to have gross tasting antibiotics for a week for a URI, but he didn't need them, he just had a guttural manly voice.
Slaves can be so stupid sometimes. Your teeth are fine if you say they are!

Love, Daisy and Oscar's bum.

Good luck at the vets Ruby. Peppers off to the vets today too. He’s never been before so he’s not worried yet.
 
Its a shame you're being put through this awful event, Ruby, but we are sure you will know how to handle any situation that arises while you are at the vet!

Love Dex and Pops
 
Oh, Ruby, I'm so sorry! Be sure to nip as many fingers as you can. Personally I'm not a biter, but Tessy (who is) told me that vets can be pretty tasty as well.
And qualified? Is he a guinea pig himself? If not he can hardly be qualified to treat such heavenly creatures as guinea pigs.

I overheard my slave yesterday on the phone. I've got an appointement next Wednesday. Really not looking forward to this... maybe Odi will come along as well, but since he's the world's worst behaved gp during a car ride, at least I don't have to share my carrier with him.

I hope all goes well for you today and that you will be home really soon. 🍀🍀🍀
Lot's of love and piggy Kusses

Hello Ruby

A vet visit when you feel fine? What is the world coming to? I wouldn't have that if I were you! Be a lovely girl like you were when you last saw the vet then at the very end bite him just to show your displeasure at having your teeth looked at.

Yours in wheaky wonder

The Ever Beautiful Betsy

PS would you like me to write to the GPU?
 
Oh Ruby - my human took me to the vets last month and said i might need an operation but since i heard her and vet lady talking - i've been sooooooooooooooooo good and not tried to hump my sisters at all - well not at least when the human is watching :lol!:

Let us know how you get on..love Winny
 
Dear Ruby, I hear your pain. I overheard my human making an appointment to see the vet and I am not happy at all. Last time I went the vet he told my slave that pellets were bad for my teeth and I shouldn't have them. This was very upsetting as one of my favourite pastimes was rolling my treat ball to get the pellets out and now I only get to do this about once a century. What does the vet know, he's supposed to be a guinea pig specialist but he clearly knows nothing. I hope you manage to charm the vet to recommend lots more treats

Dear Ruby,

I hope your trip to the vet slave goes well, I met one of those for the first time this week and honestly I wasn’t sure what was going on. Like you I believe in giving them a good sharp nip from time to time to remind my slaves who’s boss. When we got to the vet slave my big slave had the nerve to tell him ”watch out she can bite”. I was gobsmacked by her boldness! Then…she LEFT me there, they actually said goodbye and left me there! Can you believe it?

She must have felt terribly guilty and rightly so because she came back some hours later after I’d had a bit of a nap and woke up with what can only be described as a bikini wax from a lawn mower. I’ve been a bit nicer to the big slave since she DID come back to get me but I still gave the little slave a nip for good measure.

Today while racing around the house doing my fire safety inspection by searching for any cables not properly secured I overheard talk of a “husbun”. They had better not expect me to share my home with just any big footed buffoon! I’ll show him!

Hope the vet slave behaved today and that you gave him a nip or two.

Dear Ruby,
It sounds as if your slave is taking advantage of your cuteness.
As well as nipping Priscilla recommends pooping on the vet like it’s going out of fashion.
This how she deals with our slave.
We all hope that the vet remembers what a perfect piggy you are and gives you treats.
Love from Phoebe on behalf of Micah and Priscilla too.
 
Thank you dear Forum piggies for all of your kind comments and support.
It really does help during these trying times when our slaves are being difficult.

So I went to the vet and had something called a 'dental' done.
Apparently this is because I keep snapping my teeth off while biting the bars and demanding attention and treats, and they were not growing back in very evenly.
I don't know much about the dental part, because one minute the nice vet was stroking me and saying how well I looked, and then I was back in my carrier with a slightly sore mouth and a big pile of hay.
It's all very strange really.

The big slave seems relieved but she keeps bothering me and checking up on me what I don't want to be checked on.
On the plus side she is offering me lots of lovely food and piles of fresh grass, so that's good.

Overall I have decided that it was not a bad experience after all, although I may still give the big slave a quick nip next time she puts her hand too close to my newly sharpened teeth ;)

Love Ruby xx

Dear Ruby,

I am glad you are ok and that your slave appears to have dutifully remained by your side. (Gives my slave the side stink eye while writing).
I’m noticing a pattern after reading up on numerous accounts of visits to the vet slaves. It seems a lot of us loose time and wake up with shaved or sore areas. Do you think there could be some sort of alien abduction going on? What if the vet slaves are experimenting on us?!

Dear Ruby,
I often go to the vet and have medicines but instead of biting the hoomans I run away or play dead and flop down. Sometimes the running works but the playing dead doesnt because daddy still picks me up but says swear words about my feet getting caught on things as he lifts me up. But sometimes vet things mean extra fruit. So sometimes I pretend to half run away and only be a little bit dead in case I could be caught and revived with strawberries or parsley.
But last week I saw the dreaded vet carrier coming out and half ran away so I could easily be caught for strawberries and it wasnt me, and that naked noisy girl went to the vets instead and got strawberries for having poorly eyes! I did my best fake cough and faked my own death several times but still only got one strawberry top and no tasty loxy medicine.
So although its good to try not go to the vets because we all hate vets and we shouldnt make life too easy for these hoomans, dont try too hard because poorly piggies get fruit. Try cough a bit and fall over, that's usually worth a strawberry.
Love from Blod (ahem... Cough! Wheeze! Honk! I heard that Sainsbury's delivery van and have suddenly taken a turn for the worse!) X
 
Dear Ruby, we are very glad that you have survived your vet trip.
We hope the treats continue.
You should play on the sore mouth and demand lots of extra treats and veggies cut into thin strips.
Love from Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah

You may have a point Flora.
And the big slave did stay with me the entire time, although apparently she took some less than flattering photos of me which she was showing everyone tonight and have a right old laugh about.
Maybe they do it so they can take pictures of us looking slightly less than our glamorous best?
The vet did say I was in wonderful condition which is more than can be said about the big slave....
