Introducing Lorenzo and Matteo 💙💙 They’ve come to TEAS, due to having a number of issues caused by inbreeding. Both boys are blind and Lorenzo will be having his right eye removed tomorrow, as it’s bulging significantly from the socket. Matteo will also see Simon on Thursday as he’s got dental issues, although appears to be eating fairly well at the moment.

If anyone would like to donate towards Lorenzo’s enucleation surgery, this would be very gratefully received. Donations can either be made via PayPal, bank transfer or directly to our vet account on 01604 478888 asking for the donation to be made to the TEAS account and allocated to Lorenzo! 😊

Please keep Lorenzo in your thoughts and hopefully I’ll have good news tomorrow evening. Simon has said it’ll be a tricky op as it looks very vascular, but I know Lorenzo will be in the best hands!

Thank you xBAFDE565-C167-4E28-961C-DB4FA72DA8C7.webp
 
Sending healing vibes for Lorenzo from us and the piggies. Fingers and paws crossed here for him. x
 
They are both in my thoughts, good luck for today, that eye really is horrid. Not trying to be funny at all, but I thought it was a cartoon when I first looked.
I'm confident Simon will fix him up good, ever since he saved our gerbil, who is 3! And tiny, my confidence has rocketed with him doing ops. It was high anyway but that was impressive
 
Great news for Lorenzo x x
 
Glad Lorenzo is recovering well x
I don't do PayPal, but I'll pop something in your collection tin at the Cat and Rabbit clinic when I take Winifred for her op next Tuesday :tu:

Thank you! I hope all goes well with Winifred's op. Simon is an amazing surgeon, so she will be in good hands x
 
If it wasn't for the fact that his eye is missing, you really wouldn't know that Lorenzo had undergone surgery this week! He's looked so well and has been behaving completely normally, right from when I picked him up after his op. Obviously he hasn't had to get used to losing his sight, as he was blind in that eye anyway and if it was causing him discomfort, he probably feels very much better with it gone!
Tomorrow Matteo will see Simon, for a dental check. Hopefully his teeth aren't too bad, but it will be good for him to have a thorough check up, as he is also blind and also seems to have a head tilt too! He's full of life, just like Lorenzo, so I'm not too concerned about him!
 
Oh dear that really didn’t look great, glad he’s doing a lot better now Xx

All my animals that have had ops with Simon doing the work have come through and eating soon after. Which is three. 2 pigs, 1 gerbil, and must mention @alpacasqueak 's 6 year old sow has just came though her eye op fine today, with Simon 👍

Give this man a medal 🏅😂.
 
Today Matteo will see Simon, for a dental check. He appears to be eating well, but he does hold his head a little tilted, so will be glad for him to have a thorough examination. He too is blind, like Lorenzo! From what I have been told, the blindness is a result of in-breeding, as lots of the piggies rescued from this certain situation had eye problems.

Simon definitely deserves a medal! He's an amazing vet! Not just with guinea pigs, but with cats and rabbits too!
 
Yep Simon’s amazing! My 8yr old 500g chin and 6 and a half year old 800g sow, not the easiest of patients to do ops on I’m sure!
Hope Matteo gets on well x
