"No one has the right to take anothers life be it animal or human. Everything has a right to life and we should protect that life not take it away." -Fluffball I have to disagree with this. We should not, as people of 'developed' nations, be placing our beliefs of morality onto others who do...

Unfortunately, I cannot keep the two piggies. :( I am at my limit of pets for moving out of the country (one pet per person, good thing I'm having a baby!). My SIL, who was hoping on taking the two, cannot afford it anymore because her kitty is very sick and has spent the last few nights at the...

He's such a handsome little guy. What a wonderful tribute. I'm sure you and he had a happy five years together. I'm sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for the loss of your babies. I know that you were a good piggy mommy and loved them dearly. Please don't beat yourself up over this. Dogs are hunters and, unfortunately, often don't understand the difference between prey and pet. My own dog killed our beloved budgie. Gilligan got...

She's finally eating on her own! I had to leave town yesterday for my parent's anniversary, and I was really worried about how she would do. When I got home, I enticed her with some of her favourite veggies, and she was happy to eat them. This morning, she was out with her sister, begging for...

Cavies-and-Kids -- Hamiltonians shouldn't be whining about the THS stealing 'public funding' because the THS works like h*ll to get the funds they need to stay open. I mean, they have the 'adopt-a-thons', telethons, and tons of other programs to get money. Hamilton should do some of the dirty...

Cavies-and-Kids, I am so happy that you have decided to foster some of those piggies. As I wrote in your other post, Hamilton is horrendous for euthanasia, and it would be so sad to see those beautiful piggies put to sleep. Thanks for changing the title Percy's Mom! I think I learned quite a...

I would love to take some in as well, but with the fosters I have (plus the regulars), I just don't have the space. I really hope they all find good homes. So many cute piggies. I've had one 'foster failure' so far. My mom/sister-in-law are already working on a way to adopt the piggies I...

Re: She's dying I just tried to see if I can change the title, but I cannot. It should be more like "I almost lost her" or something like that. She is getting better, and will hopefully be back to normal in the near future. But, now I'm scared that the same thing will happen with her sister...

Re: She's dying Well, she still isn't eating or drinking on her own. I just got back from Shopper's (thanks for the advice Sabriel!) and got her some plain pedialite. She doesn't like it, but I've gotten better at getting food into her mouth so she can't spit it out. She's still on the...

Re: She's dying I was also given syringes at the vet and used those this time, following GL's advice. I was able to get quite a bit into her without her spitting it out. I also offered her all her favourite foods. She took a little nibble from the watermelon, which I take as a very good sign.

I'm so sorry that you lost Lola. I'm positive that you did everything you could for her.

Re: She's dying Well, I just got home with her. She is moving around, but is sluggish. She was given pain meds, oxytocin (to tighten the uterus) and something to prevent infection at the vet, so this may be why she is so sluggish. She still isn't eating anything, or drinking for that matter...

Re: She's dying I'm not really sure how many babies she had. All I know was that they were able to remove them all. I didn't think to ask after the vet said they were all dead. :(

Re: She's dying Mama is doing much better! She is moving around okay, and her bladder is now staying inside her body! Only problem is, she isn't eating at all. She hasn't eaten anything since she went in yesterday. I was told that, since it may be due to nerves and being away from her bonded...

Re: She's dying The two piggies are very much bonded. The other piggy has been crying since we took mama out of the cage. She has also been hiding all day. I'm giving her some extra cuddles, but I know that won't help to replace her best friend.

Re: She's dying I want to thank everyone for their support and kind words. I have no new updates to report for now. I was told that, if she is okay, the vet will call me in a few days to pick her up to foster for the next month or so. If she isn't okay, I was told that the foster services would...

Re: She's dying I brought her to the vet and they were able to extract the piggy that was half in/half out. Then the vet took her to the back room. About 30 minutes later, she came back and said that they were able to remove all the babies and everything else from in her uterus. The babies were...

She has one baby out, dead. Another is stuck in her. It is dead. She's dying. Ohh I feel so sick. I am waiting for my husband to get ready so we can leave. She isn't moving.

Also, the Oakville Humane Society has a 4 month old female for adoption. (broken link removed) I know that both places adopt out for piggies for less than the cost to buy from PetsMart. The THS charges an adoption fee of $6 for a piggy.
