Dear Charlie.
 
It's so good to hear from you! Boy I missed you and your sweet words....
I went to the vets last week. I've been having a wet bum for a few weeks now and my slave was worried. The vet  examined me thoroughly and I heard her saying that I felt really healthy. (i've been working out for you love ;-) ) The she sent my slave away and took me to a big machine. I had to lie down on a table and she took a photo, which was a lot scarier than when my slave does it with the tiny ting she has. But I kept being brave. 
When I came back, my slave and the vet were examining my photo. I could see it too and it looked really weird! I could see my bones. Unfortunately they were looking not soo good according to the vet. OD (Osteodystrophy) is a genetic bone disease that happens to a lot of satin guinea pigs like me.They also call it the satin disease. At some point calcium is no longer sufficiently absorbed from the blood into the bone and this causes our bones to become less strong. My jaws were already affected last october, they were thicker than they ought to be. And now my thighbones and my spine are affected. You could see that on my x-ray, they were less white than they ought to be. For now, it does not hurt a lot. Only sometimes when i try to climb on things so i refrain from doing that.
But my OD has nothing to do with my wett butt. Since the vet couldn't find anything else she suggested that i might be incontinent (tsssk..the audacity! It is bad enough already that i have one elderly human lady disease) But she called us on wednesday to say that she was wrong; I have cystitis. Apparently there were a lot of creepy crawlies in my urine. So now my slave is force feeding me yukkie medicine everyday. Ugh...it tastes sooo bad!! I was happy that you already informed me about the piggy burrito, because that is what my slave is doing to me.
 
I still do not have diarrhoea, which has happened every other time my slave fed my yukkie stuff, so thats good. But I still have a wet bum. My slave says it can take a long time. wich means that i'll be having the yukkie stuff for some time too.
 
Well, charlie, to me honest, I am bit of a messy girl...but i kept myself clean for you *blush*. You are soo clever that you used the sipper bottle! Not only is it perfect for scratching but the water also cools down the irritated skin! So you also have creepy crawlies bugging you? Poor you! I really hope you feel better soon. Big piggykiss from me!
 
Yaya
P.s. Lots of manly wheeks from Jan the boar! Also for chester!
