Truffolo
Adult Guinea Pig
Truffle's heartbeat was 230 bpm 
. He writhed around in his carrier on the way and got little bits of hay in his eyes so I took some hay out. He bit his pee pad and pressed himself flat against the side of the carrier. He liked the vet and purred hello when being taken out of his carrier. He didn't nip once or get cross, and the vet said he was very well behaved 
. The vet student syringed water into his mouth to clear food out for his dental examination. Instead of swallowing it, he sat unblinking, like a little toy Truffle with the water in his mouth as we stood and watched him hopefully. The vet started talking about him and he swallowed a bit of water now and then discretely. His molars were visible however and are in good condition (unlike those of MS who needs fillings 
) On being put back in his carrier, he purred a little goodbye

He is so gorgeous. It's Tulsi! It's so nice that the Hamster Forum is up and running again after the Online Safety Bill disrupted things. It's a wonderful resource, like the Guinea pig Forum, marvellous. Kulfi is so beautiful 
I wonder if his previous owner kept Polo and Truffle outside. Otherwise he will never have encountered rain before
