[Gpdd] [GPDD] Misc: Treatments & Travels

[Susi Eastin]

Debbie- Thanks for the interesting notes on pneumonia (and the 
  bunny  and cat info - ya never know!). I've wondered the same 
  thing, how they can give meds without tests. I've lost some
  piggies to pneumonia, even after vet visits and meds, etc. Like 
  you say, just when you think they're gonna pull through . . .  
  Currently we're treating Jonesy for a very swollen foot, Baytril 
  and soaking his foot (fun!), etc. I monitor his breathing constantly, 
  praying he won't develop anything else.
  btw- thanks for the wonderful quote at the bottom of your message!
  That's worthy of a frame!
   
  Carole- You've echoed my thoughts on travel. It could be heart-
  breaking no matter what you do.  I know some have travelled 
  with them in the cabin with them in the past, don't know how 
  the current security restrictions might affect that. As I told Merle
  in a separate email, since I work for a private airline, I've contacted
  the head of our security/safety program for his input. As soon as 
  I learn more, I'll post for all.  Also, there are some outstanding 
  breeders (with the high-dollar, registered show cavies, not breeder 
  mills for the pet stores) who ship overseas, and I'm checking with 
  a couple of them to see what they do.  
  Stay tuned - news at 11!

  Leah- We'll feel much safer knowing that da Bear will be
  heading up Security with those toofies!  So we can
  relax and enjoy BS and his antics . ..
