Frank took Brillo ti the vet last week since he didn't seem to be doing well. The vet found that his back teeth had geown to much (which we couldn't possibly have seen) and cut them and gave Brillo fructose as an injection. But Brillo hasn't been eating and from what I have read, problems with the back teeth can often be a death sentence for a piggie. We have to go back to the vet today and see what he says. Oh, and I have changed my username.

If his back teeth have now been trimmed doesn't that mean he'll be able to eat normally (once he recovers from the vet visit)? Or are there still problems the vet can't correct?

Brilo had to be put to sleep. In the end, it wasn't the teeth, but a tumour. Am feeling sad. And Cotton is alone now, so we need to find her a little friend as well.

I'm sorry to hear that. He was the older piggie you'd addopted, right?

So sad.
I remember when our Laban died. We were to the vet with him, nothing complicated but he got a shock and refused to eat after that. We were going to get Matilda another companion but put it off b/c we were going away for a week. She seemed alright, she ate but one morning she lay dead. Dead from a broken heart b/c she had no longer another guinea pig in the cage.
