[Gpdd] Misc: lots of replies

[Alanna Brock]

Hello all piggies and people!
 
First an update on the "famous" Zippy. After her exciting sleep over at the vet's last week, she came home and we started antibiotics- Zippy did not think this was very fun. She lost her appetite and I was very worried about her, she hardly ate anything, but drank a lot of water - she wouldn't eat a carrot! So at our recheck on Fri the vet weighed her and she had lost some weight and so I was given a packet of critical care (vet said if I freeze it it will last forever) and a syringe. Here's the best part, after one feeding of critical care Zippy started eating her timothy hay, and today she was eating some kibbles with critical care sprinkled on top -- so it seems as though we are on the road to recovery. Even my husband said that Zip has her Zip back :)
 
And next week our vet is speaking at a vet seminar about bladder issues in piggies- and the video from Zippy's endoscopy is in her presentation - so Zippy really will be famous! PS- I saw the video and my poor little piggie must have been in such pain :(
 
Now I have some replies -
 
Virtual Pignic- now that Zippy is feeling better she wants to make sure she has a spot in the RV -- she has even offered to bring along her tent in case anyone wants to flop during the pignic.
 
Mites in hay- We had them! It was so gross! I buy the small bags of timothy as Zippy is an only piggy, and there is a low window near where the hay is stored, one day I looked at the window sill and there TONS of gross little bugs on it. Had been reading the gpdd and decided to freeze the hay - no more mites! Alsp sprayed the carpet, Zippy's tent, and the furniture with a tea tree oil, it kills most bugs.
 
BRYN! - Zippy loves her pig treats! She was so excited get a package, she popcorned all over :) I'm going to put pigtures of her opening her package on her website http://www.happy-piggy.blinkz.com/
 
Ann- do not worry about the piggies in Peru, I'm sure most of the yummy things they eat have not been sprayed with nasty herbicides :)
 
Pet of the Day- where is this webstie? Zippy wants to check it out.
 
Hope I ddin't bore everypiggy ;)
 
Alanna and Zippy
