[Gpdd] [ANNOUNCE] Sandy and Sammy welcome back

[Ann Evans]

Dear Sandy and Sammy,
I am happy you are back on the GPDD. Your great  stories and fantastic 
advice has been dearly missed. I have been so busy seeing piggys at the 
vets office I hardly have time to read the digest. I am also on 24 hour 
call. Today is Sunday and I had a cavy emergency and a cavy client that 
I see every 2 weeks. I did not get to eat breakfast until 12:45pm. I 
hope to find time to catch up with all the news.I still have not read my 
snail mail from when I was in Bermuda. Speaking of Bermuda the first day 
there the vet called and said he had an emergency case of a male cavy 
with a stone in the urethra and the client refusing surgery until I 
returned in 2 weeks. To make a long story short I called the client from 
Bermuda and told her her piggy would not survive 2 weeks. I called Vedra 
at the Cambridge Cavy Trust to get some pointers on doing surgery on a 
6.5 year old cavy who had stone surgery one year ago. I then called the 
vet and dictated the surgical and anesthetic protocol. Surgery took 1.5 
hours and the cavy was eating lettuce on the surgical table when he woke 
up from the anesthesia. He is doing great. That was the 18th of November.


Cheers,

Ann and the Rescued Piggys of Piggyville, Tampa Florida USA.
