Self-indulgent pet thread

[lizzieloo]

It has a proper box or hutch thing, waterbottle, hay supply and that. It ate some grated carrot earlier. No room indoors for it, but the garage is actually the most cat free place it can be and probably no hotter than the house. I'll see if I can find some way to let it run around a bit. It's pretty old, I'll try find out the age later. Ta.

Cucumber and celery, it'll really help.

Also perhaps a cold water bottle - either a plastic coke bottle filled with water and frozen and put at one end of the cage or an ordinary hot water bottle same. If it's a plastic sort of cage thing with a grill on top (rather than a wooden hutch,) perhaps soak some tea towels in water, wring out and drape over the grill part. When it evaporates it will sort of cool the air around it.

Definitely make sure he's getting food and fluids. If guinea guts stop for more than about 2 hours, it's pretty well curtains.

Having said that, my two "guest sows" seem reluctant to drink anything (they're in the guest room, so it's not hot in there,) but consume vast quantities of celery and other "wet" veg. Big contraxt with the boars - at the moment, one's gulping down water like it's coming a drought.

It likes cucumber but ignored the celery, the ungrateful andean cavia porcellus fuck.

They can be fuss pots. Griff is extremely fussy with veg and gives you that, "Can I have something else please?" look that he knows means you WILL go find something else. Mal just wolfs about anything down. Guest pigs have hoovered up everything I've given them, apart from (strangely) strawberries. Even Griff loves strawberries!

Keep on firing those cukes then!

Griff went for his bi-monthly check up following the removal of the breast tumor several months back. Mal got a once over as well. Both doing fine! Griff loves his vet. Mal, not so much.

My colleague's border collie yesterday - gorgeous chap!

I think Trillian (and Buffy previously ) has a note on her vet file stating that she's at high risk of showing aggression to vets

Yey!

Oh no, that's like a pet ASBO or something.

Thing is, Griff will bite me if he's not happy about something (like having his fur cut, nails done, etc., not as bad as he used to be, but will still bite,) but no matter what the vet does, he sits there quite calmly. Maybe stretches to bite me, but never the vet. When I tell the vet he bites, I don't think he believes me as he just sits there, all fluffy and angelic, like parsley wouldn't melt, you know.

I "think" Bob has managed to pick up another tick - he had one on his neck earlier this year, which was simply removed - now this new one is just above his mouth, which will prove a little more challenging, what with him being able to see the Tick Lasso coming for it

It might seem like having a baff is all Pockle does....

It's not, it's just when she does decide to have a splish I go all gooey and feel the need to take lots of photos

This is her drying off- she has decided towels are rubbish.

Trillian, um, being rather unladylike in the heat!

I've probably told this story before but one of my dogs bit a vet nurse's fanny.
: o

He was having a grass seed removed from his paw by the vet and the nurse was holding his head between her legs.

I was mortified but luckily wasn't actually there to see it, they'd gone upstairs.
