latest piggy news (some sad, some happy, lots of pics!)

[Member W]

some of you may remember that couple of months ago my mum's piggy dennis passed on to rainbow bridge

we tried allsorts critical care food, guinea pig poo soup (YUM!)

but he didn't get any better, my mum then got a new baby from bramley cavies rescue to keep gnasher company.

but a few weeks later gnasher (mum's blind piggy) came down with the same thing we found a better cavy vet (holly house in leeds) and gnasher had an operation to remove a stone stuck in his urethra the size of a pea! unfortunately gnasher went into shock after the op, his digestive system shut down and he had to be put to sleep a couple of days later

(the happy news is to follow)

beano the new rescue baby was neutered about 4 weeks ago, and will soon have a little harem to keep him company xoxo

as for my piggys bob and jim, i tried putting them out to play in the sunshine the other day for the first time all year. but bob just sulked in his house the whole time because he was cold! rolleyes

so we've been having them run about in the living room until the weather gets warmer

Lovely piccies hon.

So sorry about your mums babies, what an awful time.

Maybe they just knew lots of other piggies needed a lovely home like they had so they moved 'over'

thanks chuck. it was really horrible my mum was devastated and blaming herself, but dennis and gnasher were nearly dead when we rescued them 3 years ago, and they were the most spoilt pigs in the world, mum adored them. so it wasn't her fault. it really made me think though. as awful as it sounds but now my piggys (bob especially) are quite old, if they got ill, i think i'd have them put to sleep straight away instead of trying to treat them and seeing them suffer unnecessarily but yeah, beano is the sweetest little boy, and i can't wait for mum to get his girlfriends x

Some lovely pics and good luck for Beano!

Bladder stones are sadly never good news. Were Gnasher and Dennis related, because there seems to be a strong genetic disposition for them?
