Dear Teresa,
I was looking through the wonderful photos of your piggies. I read Son's story (and almost cried for the little guy, he's been through so much!). If I remember correctly, he had surgery on his chest area. Did this surgery intrude inside the rib cage or was the growth outside of it?

The reason I ask is that I have lost 3 piggies to benign tumors inside the rib cage that basically squeezed out the poor piggies' lungs. I was told that this is an inoperable area for cavies, since it is not possible to intubate them because the lungs are so small. I have no guineas now, but just wanted to know for future use.
