There is only going to be one little guinea pig having a holiday. When I got up this morning, Lucia didn't come running over for his breakfast, and when I stroked him to wake him up, he barely moved. It turns out he had a stomach tumour, and it had just got too big. The vet was really nice, and explained that it is very common, and that was nothing to do with anything I'd done. I feel that I shouldn't be this numb, its only an animal, but he was so happy and friendly, and I just can't help thinking I should have noticed sooner.
Smutfairy, are you still willing to look after Mapp while I am away? He'll be in the travel cage, so he won't take up very much room. I can ask B to give me a lift with him on Sunday, or get a bus across if necessary. If you still have that sewing machine, I'd like to have a look please?
Invisgoth, thank you for offering to look after them, but I think it will be easier for me to get Mapp to tHoG, rather than asking you to drive into Easton. Can I just ask, if I had noticed earlier, is ther anything that could have been done, or are pigs just too little?
anxiety,
