Re: Health
 
In June, my Dutch Guinea Pig Lucy had an operation to remove two  huge cysts 
and ended up having to be spayed.  She was very lucky to  survive.  
Unfortunately, I recently found a lump which turned out to  be a tumour, the vet was 
unable to operate and offered to put her to  sleep.  I declined as she is still 
very well and is enjoying  life.  She's still eating and drinking well and if 
anything seems a  lot happier and more social than before.  I am keeping a good 
eye on  her and would never let her suffer.  I also worry for her piggy  
friend, Bonnie, who missed her so badly when she was at the vets.   Does anyone 
else have any experience of a guinea pig with an inoperable  tumour?  
 
Regards,  Bonnie, Lucy and Jo
