I keep jinxing the piggies - either that or they've been listening in to my conversations and are pulling my leg!
Last month I said to my Dad "The piggies have so far managed not to have a vet visit this year!" to which my Dad replied "Careful, there's still a couple of days left of January!" We joked that the Piggies draw straws to see who is going to go to the vets, and practise their best "I'm poorly" impressions.
Next day, Elma sounded crokey so off to the vets we went! Sounded like an upper respiratory infection so she was prescribe antibiotics...next day, it's as though nothing had happened! Completely clear!
And then Sunday night I said to my Dad "The Pigs are doing well, they've kept to their budget for February!" to which Dad again replied "Careful, there's still two days left of February!"
...Yesterday evening I was giving Missy a bath and I felt a lump on her tummy. So we've got an appointment tomorrow. Lumps immediately fill me with dread since losing four piggies to cancer, but the feel and position of this one had me leaning more towards fatty lump or cyst, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Could also be a hernia, from my research online, but I guess we'll find out tomorrow!
I'm going to keep my mouth shut until the month's end, in future!
