As you know my lovely George came home from the rodentologist just before xmas. It was lovely to have him home and I kept a close eye on him. Unfortunately, 4 days later he stopped eating again. I tried to get him to eat but nothing would persuade him. I couldn't get him back to the rodentologist until 27th December which was 2 weeks away :-\. I made sure he didn't go hungry though and he had regular syringe feeds and his fave baby food 
On 27th December he went back to the rodentologist to find that even in that short space of time his teeth had gone completely haywire again. They were as surprised as I was and couldn't believe they had got so bad. I had to leave him with them again. This time though, he will have to stay for months if not forever :'( . He has to stay for long enough for them to see how fast they grow and what can be done, if anything, to slow down the growth. They said that usually, if the teeth are as bad as his are, they would suggest he was PTS but as they know and love him so much they will keep him so that he can have his teeth trimmed as often as he needs them done.
At the moment he is eating teeny bits by himself but not near enough and has had to have his teeth trimmed 3 times since he's been there.
It's looking like he won't be able to come home at all as I wouldn't be able to sustain his health. However, he has found himself not one but 2 girlfriends :. he snuggles up with Blossom at syringe feed time and lives with Lizzie at night. 8) I know that he's in the piggy equivalent of Xanadu where he is but I miss him so much. I can't be selfish though and I would rather he be alive and healthy.
That leaves poor Mildred on her own. Usually she's not that bothered but I do think she's lonely because she keeps talking to me ;D She never does that ;D. So a boyfriend has been found for her on the understanding that when/if George comes home he will be returned. If G doesn't come home I will keep the new little boy.
Sorry I've waffled on. :
