Ginger and Steve,

It has taken me a while to be able to read your tragic post about Mike T. Pig's post mortem to the very end.

We can only rely on our vets and rodentologists to provide what we hope will be the very best of care for our little ones and it is simply dreadful to read an account like this.

If our rodentologist has to take a urine sample, he palpates the bladder so very gently that I hope this never happens to any of his patients. I can imagine that, if dear Mike had an underlying problem with his bladder, a heavy handed approach could result in a rupture. I have never heard of this happening but we live and learn.

We cannot second guess ourselves and can only rely on the "experts" to help us. The symptoms were probably not enough to diagnose his injury

Poor Mike T. Pig. I am so very sorry.

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
