1. Licorice got to make a special trip to the vet since he appeared to be walking strangely and I thought that he had broken his leg and that it had fused. Fortunately he was "healed" the day before the vet visit but he got checked out anyway. He and Fluffy are still doing well together in the same cage and Licorice is gaining weight steadily. [Photo above is of Kira, Licorice's sister. Click to see a larger image.]2. Oliver had a vet check the same day. His eyes are still giving him problems so yet another eye meds is being tried. It was also determined that he has limited eye sight in both eyes. He had excellent recovery from his cyst removal though.
3. Bear, Fluffy's former cage mate, was PTS after his third seizure two weeks ago. He wasn't able to rebound like he did the other two times. He had a very full life even with his medical issues; with Denisa's excellent care he kept rebounding from his episodes of near death. Rest well little one.
4. Kira and Dolly are doing great together. I think Dolly is an older pig and unlike Kim, she thinks Kira is a good cage mate to have around. They sometimes do laps through their open-ended huts although they both seem to think that it's cool to sleep on top of them! Kira is eating more now so that is nice. Both are very sweet guinea pigs. [Photo is of Dolly.]5. These past two weekends most of the pigs got baths, hair trims if needed, and preventative doses of Revolution. Bobby still totally soaks his cage (with urine). The good news is that at the moment Pippa does not appear to be have any blood-tinged urine (she was treated with Bactrim/TMS for a while).
6. Rosie and Sasha have been staying with Kaylie for a while and her caretaker decided that it will work long term so she will be adopting them both. Yeah! They will be totally spoiled.
7. Bella is in time out right now. She was out and about and was quiet for a few minutes and I found out why. She decided to eat some of the rubber baseboard. Not a good idea. (Part of the baseboard was blocked off now she while have no access to it.) She is a very sweet and user-friendly interactive rabbit. If you are interested in adopting her, let me know.8. The local shetler emailed that Tot and his buddy Vinnie and also Lucky and Daisy (bonded pair of rabbits) were all adopted a week ago. Way to go!
