Little Girl, Momma and Zippy had their six month check ups today. The vet couldn't get any blood from Little Girl and Zippy, but he got some from Momma. Zip and LG have to go back in a month for another try. Otherwise, they passed with flying colors. Their weights were good, teeth good, and no lumps or anything under the skin. Good, clean breath, oh boy, oh boy. I had a piggy with pneumonia and asthma, so I always celebrate the good, clean breaths. Little Girl has pulled a few stitches from her operation in December, but the vet put in three levels of stitches so any pulls wouldn't effect the healing process. He said to clean it once a day, just so it didn't get infected where the stitches pulled out.
Yay, they're healthy. The best thing a piggy mom can hear about her babies.

Eeny,Linda and Threelittlepigs, thank you for your nice words. I guess getting a blood sample from a guinea pig is not an easy thing. I hate to put them through another vet visit just for that, but it's important to get the blood results, and know they aren't hiding any illnesses. At least my little lion piggy is growing her fur back, and passed with flying colors.

Awwwwww congratulations on the clean bill of health. Tell Little Girl and Zippy not to worry about bloodwork. Cloud had that done and although she did not care for it she was a good lil piggie. It's always good to hear when your babies are okay.

Thanks for the kind words Theresa, Merry and Lee Anne. It's always such a relief to get the good word from the vet, isn't it???
