Rosie is acting wobbly

There are few things nicer than a baked loaf

I agree. Especially if they are chocolate, lemon drizzle or banana flavoured

I was poking fun since my pigs get called hamsters 80% of the time, maybe it translated wrong c:

People do that in Germany too - refer to guineas as hamsters - it's really strange.

It happened to me quite a few times when colleagues ask me "How are your ... hamsters?"
They never ask this question a second time.

But I also love hamsters. I had a rescue one some years ago. She was a darling but absolutely hated hands.

I used to call Kylie my little ferret when she was being KYLIE

I believe we found some excellent new vets for us!

Everything was very quick and efficient. Although Rosie was savagely fat shamed (called a baked loaf), the girls both received lots of loving and snacks. Pigs were very polite and brave, Lily gave the vet some kisses and the vet gave them back, too!

X-rays were fine, we do suspect it to be old age and arthritis. We are starting with a course of painkillers and some new supplement that includes glucosamine + other good stuff. I will report back to the vets in about 5 days and then we make a plan going forward.

We shall see! Rosie is still very happy and perky. I just want her to be comfortable

Glad that you were happy with the vet and that it is just arthritis and old age. The glucosamine may take a little while to kick in (the same as for sterile cystitis) as it is processed through the body and build up gradually.

A burnt one!

Rosie, I don't think you look like a loaf at all! As for baked, that would be a lovely brown colour which you aren't showing. Maybe Vet Man/Lady should get their eyes checked?

Polo: my X Ray came back with the f_a_t word clearly printed on it in black and white
