[Gpdd] MISC: RIP my beloved pig Biscuit

[Penny Charlesworth]

Anneli,

I am so very sorry to read about poor Biscuit and want to send you my 
sincere condolences and virtual hugs. You have had to make a very hard 
decision but you know that your actions were right to prevent further 
suffering.

R.I.P. sweet Biscuit.

I do not know sufficient details about her condition but was she, by any 
chance, a Satin piggy? Satins frequently develop a condition called OD - 
Osteodystrophy, which causes abnormal bone growth with subsequent trouble 
eating. Both Janneke ( another GPDD member ) and I have had Satin piggies 
who suffered from this all too common disease and we have read extensively 
about the problem.

This may not be relevant to Biscuit but, if she was a Satin, you might like

With our utmost sympathy on your loss.

Take care.

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
