I just adopted a new pig today, she's just over a year old and she seems very small, her fur is super soft and shiny so I think she may be satin. After bringing her home, I read that they're prone to severe bone health issues. Should I have her taken to the vet and x-rayed? The shelter, the local humane society, had her checked by a vet when they got her a few weeks ago who said she was in good health and they treated her with a small dose of Revolution so her health seems great. Here are some pictures - if anyone could let me know if she is satin and if so, if any additional vet care is needed at this point?

edit- the Revolution they give to all their guinea pigs when getting them, not because she had any health issues.
