Lisa, I have had so many guinea pigs spayed/neutered/operated on, and that includes removal of mammary tumors. Never lost one to anesthesia problems. My vet's protocol is #2 on http://www.cavyspirit.com/neutering.htm site. The anesthesia portion is tried and true. 
 
With that said, it IS possible to lose a piggy due to allergic reaction to the anesthesia. Also, hopefully you have a great piggy vet. I would print out the protocol and show it to your vet to see if that is the anesthesia yours uses. Your vet can always call mine to talk about protocol, too. Honestly, we never talk about the possibility of losing one because in the years that we have had piggies in my vet's care, we haven't had to worry.

Hey, Jaime -

I will send you the details of the Critter Berries / Vitamin C Scam via a 
direct email.  It is a little long and convoluted and I won't take up digest 
space with it.  Besides, I feel dang foolish at the hoops I jump through to 
get that rascal Topper to eat his Vit C!!  (Of course, of all the people in 
the world, who would understand "jumping through hoops for piggies" better 
than the Digesters???)

Topper did exactly the same thing your Albert did.  He LOVED the Oxbow 
Vitamin C at the beginning - would actually run up, snatch them out of my 
hand, and make off with his loot at the speed of light - but then he got to 
where he not only wouldn't eat them, but. . . and I kid you not. . . he 
became very belligerant(sp?) about NOT eating them.

I had started trying to get him to eat the Vit C by giving it to him first 
and, then, when he would FINALLY eat it, immediately giving him a Critter 
Berry for a treat and reward.  At one point, I was doing that and trying get 
him to eat the Vit C and I kept handing it to him and he would drop it and 
hop up for the Critter Berry; I would hand it to him again and he would drop 
it again; etc.  About the forth time we went through this, he took it out of 
my hand and, instead of dropping it, he calmly - and very DELIBERATELY - 
walked over to a puddle of VERY fresh urine, dropped the Vit C tablet right 
into the middle of it, and then casually walked back over to me and stood up 
for the Critter Berry treat!!!!!  That dad-gummed juvenile delinquent!!!!

Anyway, I'll send you my latest  effort.  It seems to be working well. . . 
so far. . .
(muahahahahahahaha)

Candy; Mollie and very smart, but VERY precocious Topper (plus Cat X of 
course)

It is really nice to write some happy news.SPIKEYS EATING AGAIN im so 
pleased. Thankyou to Carla, Kay Jeri and Jamie for your help and advise it 
did help a lot. It must have been a problem with his two bottom teeth. But 
after he had them cut they must have been sore and awkward for him to eat 
with. I fed him little leaves for a couple of days by hand. I bought some 
organic veg baby food witch i was gonna feed him that eve but he was eating 
himself it was great to see.
               Its my birthday today and i said this was the best present i 
could have, mind you the dish washer came second. Thanks again to every one 
it is good advise that i can use if any of my other pigs get any probs.
                                Leah i was sorry to hear B Bear is not 
eating i really hope she picks up like Spikey i no how your feeling. Hope to 
hear some news soon.
                     Bye for now Carole

Hi Deborah, I just got your posting through so i thought i would thank you 
for your advise on Spikey. They did look at his back teeth in the vets with 
a scope they seemed to be ok. He gave me some baytril in case he had an 
infection in his mouth i gave it to Spikey for 3 days but when he started 
eating again i thought it must have been long teeth so i stopped it. I 
thought it would be better for Spikey not giving him antibiotics if he didnt 
need them. I hope ive done the right thing.
           From Carole

Hi there,
 
 Tea & Biscuit are currently on their 1 wheeek holiday (as are we  in 2 
days!) but I know they would want me to pass on to you some healing wheeks  and 
nudges from both boys to Brownie Bear - they both love to hear about Brownie  
Bear and Butterscotch each time there is a new story, so I thought I'd best pass  

over their best wheeeking wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hey all! Can anyone who knows about hamster illnesses or injuries please e-mail 
me privately. Thanks!
Also does anyone have any suggestions on how to make clipping the front nails 
easier? Albert is becoming increasingly more & more belligerent about me cutting 
his front nails. He curls his toes under & plays tug-of-war with his feet! He 
even snapped at me the other night! I am at my wits end here!
Get better soon sick piggies & piggie people!

So sorry to hear Brownie Bear is giving cause for concern - I do hope she  is 
back to normal soon. I always feel my Soulage is a little like her  
personality-wise, and sometimes she gives me nasty health scares like that then  

bounces back. But I worry every time that one day, like the boy who cried  wolf, 
she 
will be really ill and I'll expect her to bounce back and she won't. I  feel 
so helpless in that situation with no reliable piggie-savvy vet to turn  to.
 
Anyway, the Dolly Mixtures and I are remembering Brownie Bear in our  
prayers, along with all other piggies who are not feeling well - and all their  
poor 
slaves, who I sometimes think suffer more than the piggies themselves in  such 
circumstances.

First let me thank you so much for telling us how you bought Babu Franklin,  
the unwanted store piggie. I know it goes against all devoted piggie-slave  
principles to purchase a piggie that has been deliberately bred for financial  
gain, as it just reinforces the breeders' and sellers' greed and exacerbates 
the  problem long term, but none of us can change the world, whilst each of us 
can  change it for just one little individual piggie. I once bought a rabbit 
from a  petshop because it looked ill. She died within 5 days and of course 
broke  my heart, but at least she knew 5 days of human love.
 
We have lots of animals here - 2 dogs, 5 cats, only 1 rabbit now, 3 goats,  5 
geese and 16 chickens, as well as the 17 guinea pigs. They all  inter-relate 
to a degree, mainly amicably, apart from the geese, who terrorise  everyone!!
 
In the winter I have my female piggies loose in the porch. Their cages are  
on the floor, and I do shut them in them at night, but during the day they can  
roam about visiting one another, as all the cage doors are open. Piggie 
slaves  will be horrified, but the 2 dogs and 5 cats have unrestricted access to 

this  porch, and as it is the warmest room in the house when the sun shines, it 
is a  popular place to doze during the day. Initially they were only allowed 
access  under strict supervision, but we soon learned that the dogs and cats 
did no harm  to the piggies, and the piggies were not frightened of them. I have 

to admit,  the dogs love to eat the piggie poops, but they don't seem to do 
them any harm.  Our two white cats, Daisy the oldest at 17 and Tetu the 
youngest at 3 (who grew  up with guinea pigs) love to actually go into the cages 
and 
curl up on the straw  - I do have a photo of Soulage peeping somewhat 
incredulously out of her pigloo  at a white cat curled comfortably into a tight 
ball 
on the straw just  outside!
 
On winter evenings, the dogs lie on the settee beside us and the fire, and  
when I have my piggies out on my lap they will run up and down the bigger dog,  
Tzigane, sniffing her, especially her face. She just lazily opens an eye, 
sees  it's a piggie and goes back to sleep! I might add that we also have photos 

of  Tzigane using Tetu as a pillow, and lying snuggled up to our rabbit Bisou 
in  front of the fire. Tzigane is a big Alsatian/Collie cross, very wolf-like 
in  appearance, who terrifies many of our French neighbours with her ferocious 
bark,  but she doesn't seem to have an ounce of malice in her - she is as 
terrified of  the geese as everyone else!
 
I would never advocate leaving piggies within reach of potential predators  - 
I had 5 beloved piggies massacred outdoors by maurauding strange dogs in  May 
2003, and the pain of that day never diminishes. But in my own experience,  
it seems that if one treats all ones animals as equal members of the family, as 
 we do, they all seem to understand that every other animal is part of their 
pack  or herd, and don't view them as potential prey. Geese, I should point 
out, are  entirely herbivorous - they don't see others as prey, just as a 
potential  threat, and seem to regard attack as the best form of defence. But 
I'm 
afraid I  love them anyway - they will back down if approached firmly, and have 
beautiful  blue eyes ... and it was lovely watching the goslings grow up!
 
Can I just take this opportunity to thank everyone who expressed  condolences 
at Chestnut's departure to The Bridge. Only we gpdd-ers know how  much 
comfort can be obtained through such communications. A voluntary helper we  had 
staying expressed absolute amazement that I had written an obituary on the  
Internet for Chestnut, and that people all over the world had expressed  
condolences. I suppose on the grand scale of things it must seem a little odd,  
and yet 
to all of us on here, it seems the most obvious and natural course of  events 
after a piggie has passed on, doesn't it? I am so very glad to be part of  this 
very special community. Please forgive me for not sending personal  
acknowlegements, but I am still sofa-bound, and typing is very tiring. Please  
know 
that every word of comfort helps. I know you fellow slaves are the only  people 
who really understand.
 
This is longer than intended, but I did want to chip in!
 
Debbie

Hi all,
 
Murray's tumor keeps exapanding and has ulcerated which is not a good sign. He 
acts so happy though. I knew he was feeling good when he started chewing on the 
bars! That is one of his favorite pastimes. Not the healthiest of pastimes, but 
he likes to do it and when he was really sick, he had stopped. 
 
He has a good appetite and eats whatever I give him. He is on a daily dose of 
baytril and half a baby aspirin. I sprinkle some acidophilus from a capsule on 
his veggies so he gets his good bacteria since he prefers not to eat yogurt. 
 
So here we are at a crossroads of sorts. We can take the tumor off and he could 
very well recover because likely the tumor is encapsulated as most mammary 
tumors are and as evidenced by this ulceration. Although he may die from 
anesthesia. We can leave the tumor and he could at some point become septic and 
die from that. So it seems either choice I make could end in his death.
 
So right now surgery is looking more appealing to me. I know we have been 
through this conversation before but now the stakes have changed a bit. If he is 
going to die, I would rather have him die in his sleep under anesthetic than 
waste away due to septicemia. This is so hard... He is such a good boy. He is 5 
years old so he is not a young whipper snapper any longer but he has a lot of 
life in him, I can feel it. 
 
The hard part is determining if I am making the decision for me or for him, you 
know?
 
Thanks,
Lisa and the gang at Wheeks and Squeaks

Hi all,
    I noticed just two days ago while bathing one of my peruvian sows that the 
less dominant of the two girls had been severely barbered by her sister pig!  
Amazingly  the skin is intact, but her beautiful long  coat has been indeed cut 
short on one side all along from her face to her mid back!
   Immediately, I removed the "offending pig", to see if a few days apart would 
cause the hair to begin to grow back, and indeedm inspection of the area today, 
shows some tiny hairs peeking through!!!  I was not sure whether it was the sow 
herself doing it or my other (very dominant) sow.  So, now, do I have to keep 
these ladies apart forever if I dont want this to recur?  It is sad to see them 
looking for eachother, as they are close together but not in the same cage. 
    Anyone deal with barbering I would appreciate your thoughts on this,
   
Tnanks!

We have new pigs!

Two young adult boars (2 years old is young adult, yes?) have joined 
our household. Their names are Clover and Butterscotch, not names we 
would have chosen for them but they do seem to know them so I guess 
we'll keep them for now. Clover is black and roan and white and has 
sort of wiry fur. His brother Butterscotch is tawny and white and his 
fur is American with some extra length at the back of his head and his 
rump. Butterscotch's fur was matted under the rump hairs and I'm having 
to cut clumps out. He's not pleased with this but if I keep the 
butchering brief he lets me get away with it. He doesn't seem to mind 
being brushed, which should make it possible to avoid more mats once 
these are out, I think. They both need pedicures and grease spot 
cleanings but otherwise seem to be in decent health. Their pigtures are 
at the bottom of my homepage for now. 
(http://home.earthlink.net/~matildalucet/)

They were quite scared of us when they first moved in a wheek ago. 
Their last home had a 3 year old who couldn't seem to learn to leave 
them alone. It took a few days for the boys to figure out we weren't 
more of the same. They have now decided that I am housekeeping and room 
service and that I probably don't mean them harm when I try to snuggle, 
though they still aren't too enthusiastic about that. They had been 
bedded on cedar and fed alfalfa hay; we switched them to aspen and 
towels with no complaints and feed them Oxbow timothy hay which they 
decidedly approve of. They also approve of the institution of Salad 
Time. :-)

Tummy and absorption problems abound when one takes antibiotics.  One of the 
best things to do is to give acidopulus(spelled different ways); it's in 
yogurt...the "live"...dophilus.  It helps put the good bugs back into their 
stomach; antibiotics kill the good bugs and cause many problems.  Do not give it 
exactly at the same times you give the antibiotics but, at least an hour later 
or after giving the antibiotics.  The antibiotics will immediately kill the good 
bugs, too. if the yogurt is given at the exact time of the day as the 
antibiotics are given. Pig won't like it but, pig needs it so diahhrea, 
"grunting", not eating and feeling really yucky won't happen.  There are some 
tubes at the Pet stores which are designed to put the good bugs back in, too.  I 
use goat acidophilus but, any live acidophulus will do the trick, only need it 
until about 1 week after the antibiotics stop; or if the pig is still not 
feeling well.  Put some on the top of his/her front paws and smear some into 
their mouth on on the hair nearby.  They will eat it as they think they are 
cleaning it.  Acidophilus helps humans with tummy problems and help our stomachs 
to settle down, if we have used antibiotics or messed up our stomachs with 
something strong.  Check with your doctor or alternative health care 
professional...or...go by your "gut feeling"/spiritual guide and do what is said 
or you feel is right.
Thank you and have an oinkingly great day!

We would like to announce that today, August 28, is the first anniversary 
of Sunshine and Tumbleweed's adoption day!  They are two of the Maryland 
rescue piggies and came to us through the wonderful efforts of Judi, 
Virginia, and many others whose names we don't know but whose kindness, 
compassion, dedication, and strength made the guinea pig railroad possible.

As I type this, Sunshine is enjoying a nap, and Tumbleweed is by his side, 
eating hay.  Although not literally brothers, they are devoted to one 
another.  Once during floortime, Tumbleweed ran to get Sunshine to tell him 
that a treat was being served; Sunshine later returned the 
favor.  Sometimes when Sunshine naps inside the wooden house my husband 
made, Tumbleweed will curl up outside the doorway.  When one goes to the 
vet, usually the other goes as "moral support."

They are a joy to know!  We are so lucky to have them in our lives.

Cindy, Sunshine, and Tumbleweed

Hello Slaves!
First, I would like to Thank
You all for the outpouring of
Prayers for my little Bear.
Wheeee really appreciate it!

Next, I wanted to update ya'll
on my B-Bear. She is doing better
and is eating her pellets. She
wasn't drinking enough water,
but last night after Daddy Slave
and I got back from dinner, I
noticed that she had drank a lot
more water and there was blood
on one of the towels, so I'm
thinking that she passed something
(maybe a small stone, or just her
usual bladder sludge). Oh, and she
still isn't eating much of her
favorite veggies, but I did give
her cucumber and she gobbled that
right.

She seems to be a little more lively
today (Sunday). She's moving around
more and stuff. Also, she started
pooping again, so that's definitely
a good sign...Whew!

I've been syringing her lots of
extra water, because I know how
important it is to keep a sludge
piggie watered. And I've been syringing
Butterscotch too, cuz he wants
whatever Brownie Bear gets. B'scotch
was turning his food over every so
often on Thursday and Friday because
B-Bear wouldn't play with him like
she usually does and she was snappy
with him because she wasn't feeling
so good. But, yesterday, BS didn't
turn the bowl over at all, so I know
that that means that BB is feeling
better.

Well, I better go run and tend to
the piggies. I'm about to do another
BB Power Hour. But, again, THANK YOU
sooooo much for your Prayers and
Concern. I know in my Hearth that it
is helping my Bear get through this
and we APPRECIATE IT!!!

    Love 'n Wheeeeeeeeeeps,
      Leah...Slave to Brownie Bear
               & Butterscotch :-)
