Meet Ruby and Rosie! Two, absolutely delightful, baby lethal gene piggies. They were handed in to a large chain pet store, early in January, along with their ‘normal’ brother and sister. They were all in poor condition, very poorly, dehydrated and Rosie had very overgrown teeth that were cutting into her soft palate. The pet store immediately got them treatment, at a local vets (not the in store one). This swift action, clearly saved their life!

The girls are now permanent residents at TEAS and saw Simon on Monday. Rosie has two missing incisors and will need the opposing ones burring at approx three weekly intervals. Ruby has one missing incisor and hopefully will only need a quick check up occasionally. Both girls are blind and deaf.

Huge thanks to our trustee, Catherine @piggles 7000 who liaised with the store and explained about what TEAS could offer and also thanks to the store for ensuring prompt and appropriate treatment for all four piggies.
 
Aw, gorgeous girlies, so glad they are getting proper care now x
 
How lovely that they are under your care. Such a sad story but with a happy ending. They are beautiful and thank goodness for people like you
 
Pet shops often get such bad press, but I believe in giving credit where credit is due and this particular pet store did an amazing job to ensure the girls the very best chance!
Just depends on who works at which store I guess, if you got a decent manager, then hopefully employees will follow
 
poor little things... thank goodness they found their way to TEAS!
