[Gpdd] Health:Lucy

[robyn ferguson]

Hey piggies and people!

Good news and bad news on the Lucy front. The good news is she recently 
started moving towards eating solids!!!! and has been attacking big chunks 
of zucchini with ferocity! The bad news is that shortly after this she leapt 
out of my hands as I was putting her back in the hutch and has broken her 
bottom right incisor a few millimetres from the gumline. Oof. I feel so 
guilty for not holding her tighter. She's not usually a wigglepig but I 
think she "needed to go" and didn't want to whizz on my lap.
Still, we are visiting the vet dentist anyway on Saturday for a checkup on 
her ongoing dental problems so we can get any necessary work done then. Lucy 
continued eating zucchini for a night and a day after breaking the tooth, 
but is refusing again. I think it might be difficult for her to get a good 
bite, but I am confident that she is reconnecting to her piglet instincts 
and once again regards vegetables as food, so once her teeth are sorted she 
should go back to eating for herself. She is on Metacam for pain control so 
the broken tooth should not be troubling her.

Anyway I will update after the wheekend.

On the subject of "you know you're a piggie slave when...."

Pigture this:

I am moving house on saturday. I have a vet visit booked for saturday. which 
gets priority? That's right. All my helpers have been told to come round 
after 10.30, cause that's when I'll be getting back from the vet.

Robyn and her million dollar pigs.
