[Gpdd] HEALTH: Ectracting urine to test for

[Maren Fouts]

Ha!  That's why I put sterile in quotes in my original posting.  I had him
sitting on my lap until he peed in a sterile container.  About as sterile as
we were going to get.  Charlie is such a drama queen and can get stressed
very easily so we didn't want to do anything unnecessary.

He's been eating very well and begging for snacks as a pig should.  Acting
himself too.  I wouldn't have known anything was going on if I didn't weigh
them weekly.

Any advice is certainly appreciated, even if it prompts more questions than
answers!

Thanks!
Piggy Kisses,
Maren, Charlie, and Kaylee
