Ginger is a lovely five year old girl with a large cyst on her back, which needs to be surgically removed. We are trying to fund raise $450 ($300 for the surgery, another $150 for a cushion in case there are complications) to have this happen as soon as possible, to avoid needing an unnecessarily large incision as the cyst grows.</div>

Mosby is an adorable two year old piggy with a close resemblance to a caterpillar. He has been with Crystal's rescue, RescuedGuineaPigs.com, for about a year, and is presently living in a foster home. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Six months ago Mosby started to lose weight and walk as though it gave him difficulty, so he was off to the vet! The vet determined that Mosby has large points on his molars, as well as arthritis. (<i>Worried your pig might have teeth issues? Visit the <a href="http://www.guinealynx.info/teeth.html" target="_blank">teeth</a> page on <a href="http://www.guinealynx.info/" target="_blank">GuineaLynx</a>!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As a result, Mosby has to go to the vet every six weeks to get his teeth trimmed. He also needs pain medicine to help his little joints feel better as he toddles around his cage.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Six months worth of care for Mosby costs $466. Because Crystal also recently took in another special needs guinea pig who had been severely abused, I am going to add a $100 cushion for her rescue.<b> </b></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Meet Cletus. One of the sweetest old men to come into our
rescue in a long time. He didn’t make
his trip here quite the way most guinea pigs do. Cletus was already in a
sanctuary program in another rescue when its founder became ill very suddenly. She
needed to find a place for her guinea pigs. Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue was
able to step in and take all six of them. Two adoptable pairs and two oldsters
that the rescue was intending to keep for their natural lives. We will honor
their intentions and keep Cletus and Macy as sanctuary pigs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cletus was
obviously too old to neuter and had some congestion in his lungs. He was
treated and seemed better. He also had a pretty severe impaction problem. His
foster mom improved the situation slightly by giving him probiotics and
cleaning him multiple times a day. Then, as they say, the other shoe dropped.
Cletus stopped eating very suddenly and stopped coming out of his hide. He was
quickly taken to the vet where an x-ray showed a huge stone blocking his
urethra.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was surgery or die for a pig that was too old even to
have a much simpler neuter surgery. The tough little guy made it through the
surgery but it was a real battle back to health for him. His vet fees so far
are $489.85. Ongoing, he will need to be treated for the very advanced
arthritis that was also found on the x-rays when his stones were diagnosed and
probiotics for his impaction issues. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you can tell by his chewed up little
ears he didn’t have the easiest time before he got here. We intend to make the
rest of his life a guinea pig’s dream.<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

She came into the Rescue in poor condition along with a little sow who had a broken leg. Bubbles went blind not long after arrival, with cataracts.Thankfully she is not diabetic, she has a very bad heart murmur and urinary tract problems. Heart meds, Cystease and Antibiotics are costing around £40 per month. It is thought that she has non specific cystitis but kidney problems may be a factor in her constant wee-ing and drinking. No enlargement of the kidneys have been found to date but it is early days yet and this may show up at anytime. Bubbles</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.36px;"> is a feisty-wee girl who lost her partner recently and is disinclined to accept another piggy companion at the moment. We are working on this daily in the hope that she accepts another friend or two very soon. Meantime she lives next door to a handsome boar who very much wants to be friends, they are separated by grids to help Bubbles</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.36px;"> become used to him. To date whenever she is given time with him and another sow she attacks instantly but this is getting better each time. I think this has a lot to do with her being blind.</span><br />

<b>Spike came into the rescue from an LA shelter in June, 2011. We were unable to place him due to several ongoing medical issues that took time to resolve. He had teeth issues, a bad case of fungus that took time to deal with, and an abscess that kept filling up and had to be drained several times. Finally, we were able to get his medical issues under control and he enjoyed several months of comfort. </b></div>

Mr. Chance, along with his pals Cash, Claus, and Cosmo came to Piggie Poo Rescue from a hoarder in Peoria, who when investigated by Peoria Animal Care & Control, chose to voluntarily surrender these four piggies. Mr. Chance has a terrible case of conjunctivitis and all have upper respiratory infections and are expected to be on meds for up to 4 weeks and in foster care for an additional month or more. Expected cost to the Rescue for all (4) piggies, including Vet cost is approximately $300. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.63px;">This 8 month old peruvian girl came into the rescue from a hoarder. When she arrived, she was active and would eat, but not enough to maintain her weight. We fed her with critical care for several weeks when it became obvious she was pregnant. On Thanksgiving day, she delivered two stillborn pups.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.63px;">She still was not eating as much as she should. The vet took x-rays and did blood work. He checked her teeth and filed down some small points, but nothing significant. He found nothing obviously wrong. He wants to do exploratory surgery and possibly a spay but does not want to risk the surgery until she has gained some more weight. We are continuing the supplemental feedings and she is beginning to gain weight.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.63px;">We are asking for contributions to reimburse us for the anesthesia/tooth filing, blood work and x-rays and anything that is left over, if any, will be applied to her future surgery. Our fundraising goal is $365.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.63px;">Thank you SAGP for this opportunity to help her. She is a very sweet girl and we want to do the best we can for her. We are grateful for all assistance.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I went to sex some pigs at an
owners house from 2 accidental pregnancies (pet store sold females as
males). While looking at the babies, I
noticed one of the mamas having trouble walking. The owner didn’t have the money to care for
her so she asked me to take her as well as the babies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eliot is just a baby herself,
probably no more than 4 months old at this point. This means she was impregnated at about 2
months of age…an age when she should have been using all of her nutrients to
grow her own body. Instead she had FOUR
babies to grow and then, after delivery, nurse.
This leeched all the calcium and vitamins from her. This along with poor
nutrition in her former home, her hips were destroyed, rendering her back legs
practically useless. One is stronger
than the other but she still can’t zoom and popcorn like a normal pig her age
loves to do. She will use them only when she is startled to get back into her
cozy sak. Even then, she uses one leg
more than the other.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite the trials she’s gone
through during such a short life, she is the SWEETEST little pig. When I walk in the room she comes out to
greet me and begs for attention. She
gets excited when veggies come and eats like a horse! She also keeps herself very clean. Her spirit is strong and we are going to work
hard to get her body stronger. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eliot will remain a sanctuary
pig in the rescue for her life. We are
going to make every day of her life count and hopefully be better as the years go
by. We will treat aggressively with
acupuncture, laser therapy and supplements in her diet. Our hope is to help her body regrow some
tissue and strengthen her bones so there is no further damage. During the first several months I expect to
be at the vets every 7-10 days for acupuncture, maybe stretching that out if we
start seeing results. X-rays will be
taken periodically throughout the process to gauge progress.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Monthly expenses (at least
over the next 3 months) are expected to be:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Food/hay/veggies: $20<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

Frankie-Lynn was named after Franklin Park. That is where she was discovered in November of last year roaming free under attack by a hawk. Lucky for her a Good Samaritan happened by with her dog. The dog gave chase to the poor hawk and the human managed to catch Frankie-Lynn. Frankie<br />
was the 5th guinea pig to come to us last year found abandoned outside.<br />
<br />
After being treated for mites, all seemed well. She was spayed and looking for a happy forever home. Every foster home she was in soon became charmed by this plucky little girl. However, soon became apparent something was wrong. She lost some weight and started drinking a lot of water. She just didn’t thrive. The veterinarians couldn’t find anything wrong with her but she just wasn’t right - a bit listless. We soon decided to try to find a friend for her. Maybe she was just lonely. After a few attempts at pairing with male and female pigs we decided that wasn’t going to work. She liked sharing a divided cage but wanted no part of actually sharing a cage with anyone.<br />
<br />
Finally, there was a small clue when one of the volunteers noticed that her urine smelled “off” and wondered if she could have some type of systemic disease. Blood tests would show she had Addison's Disease - a<br />
first for MGPR.<br />
<br />
Frankie-Lynn’s ride will end in a sanctuary home here at MGPR. While her medication is not so very costly we will want to be sure she is always going to get the support she needs. MGPR can do that because of you.<br />

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">This guinea pig is named Donald Trump and he was abandoned at a shelter that does not house anything but dogs and cats. One of the workers took him and his buddy in and found us and contacted us to take him and find him a new home. He came in with bumblefoot, double ear infections, and both eyes were infected and had corneal abrasions. He was treated with meds for everything and has 90% recovered. He is now blind in the one eye from the corneal abrasion but the other eye healed nicely. He still has moderate bumblefoot on his left front paw but is healing. With all the exams, treatments, and meds we have spent about $500 and that will continue to go up as we keep treating his bumblefoot. He is very sweet and is being housed with his friend and another male piggy.</span> </span><br />

Lorenzo has a guardian angel (D), who drove 200 miles round trip to rescue him from a shelter where he was at risk of being put to sleep for his broken leg. The shelter staff knew what a sweet piggie Lorenzo is, and knew he deserved a chance at life if he could get it.</div>

Lorenzo's operation is going to cost $550. We are going to try to fundraise for $275 and cover half of the cost of the operation. If we make our goal before September 30th, we're going to keep going and try and raise the full amount!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="il" style="color: #222222;">Junebug</span> is one brave pig! This guinea girl was found suffering from a shattering leg injury in a cardboard box outside of a CVS Drugstore in Fremont, Calif. last month. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Shortly after she was discovered abandoned with a tramatic injury, she found refuge at Stockton's Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary this summer. At the sanctuary, <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">Junebug</span> received specialized rehabiliation. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To alleviate her constant pain, <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">Junebug</span>'s leg was removed by a small animal vet to the tune of $<b>690.40</b> shortly after her rescue. Her recovery has been going extremely well. </span></span><br />

George was transferred from Wee Companions, a guinea pig shelter in San Diego, on February 8, 2011. He came with his wife Millie. George and Millie were at that time 5 year old pigs. Millie had a malignant tumor in her bladder and it was decided, for this reason, that they both go into a private foster home to live out their remaining days. <br />
<br />
When this happens they become what we call “Sanctuary Pigs”. These are unadoptable pigs due to age, health reasons, or behavior issues that make them unadoptable to the public. <br />
<br />
Millie lived for six months before she passed. George was heartbroken. <br />
<br />
It just so happened that one of Piggie Poo’s Directors had two female sanctuary piggies. Since George was a neutered boar, it was decided to move him to her house and try living with these senior ladies. He was overjoyed! <br />
<br />
He especially loves Tater Tot. They snuggle together in their hut and Tater will even groom George. Recently a third older female has joined the herd and he loves her as well. He is now over 6 years old and is an extremely happy little guy. He is super spoiled. George loves his “mommy”, especially when she gives him chin rubs.

The Critter Connection received a phone call from their vet hospital at 8:00pm in April. Someone had found a guinea pig in the woods in a tiny plastic container, went and got him right away. The stench is the container was horrible. Harley was dehydrated and paralyzed in the back end. Estimated him to be about 6 weeks old. </div>

We gave him some fluids and an injection of vitamin C that night and then I brought him home. The next day our vet did xrays and found nothing abnormal in his back end. Determined that severe malnutrition, vitamin C deficiency, and confinement in a container that wasn't even big enough for a spider was the problem. </div>

Continued with injections of vitamin C, slowly started him on a good diet, and began massage therapy. Harley has made huge strides and has 90 percent use of his back legs. His buddy Mumbo is helping me with Harley's physical theraphy. </div>

Mumbo is one of our permanent senior males and Harley follows him everywhere. I have a long carpeted ramp with a gentle incline and twice a day I put treats all along the ramp. Harley's costs are maintenance, daily vitamin C supplement, fresh veggies twice a day, puppy pee pads under fleece in one area of his cage, carefresh in the other. He should be adoptable in another month or two.</div>

Harley's costs are about $150 a month. We are trying to fundraise enough for 2.5 months, or $375. </div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: arial;">Five year old Chocolate Eclair (or Clair, for short) came into the rescue with three other elderly guinea pigs shortly after Christmas of 2011. They were given up because the children in their family had gotten older and were no longer interacting with them. The mom in the family fed them and the dad cleaned the cage every week but they didn't receive any additional attention for months. Clair had possibly the worst case of bumblefoot I had ever seen. This isn't something that cropped up suddenly. It had slowly developed over many painful months.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: arial;">I knew she was in agony when she arrived because she was skinny, her eyes were glassy and she was extremely reluctant to move.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: arial;">We got her to the vet later that day. He agreed that due to the severity of the infection, there was bone involvement and this was no doubt going to be a chronic and complicated condition to treat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: arial;">Within a few days of being on metacam for pain and swelling, she was becoming very difficult to catch so we knew she was feeling better. She was also trying to dominate her cage mate which was a very good sign and after a few weeks, she started to gain weight.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: arial;">She has betadine food soaks twice daily, a dose of metacam once daily for pain, silver sulfadiazine cream for the bottom of her foot, and periodic use of the antibiotic baytril as recommended by her vet. She has monthly vet visits to monitor her condition.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: arial;">We estimate the cost of her care to be approximately $80 per month.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: arial;">SAGP will be fundraising for four months of Clair's care, meaning a goal of $320. Please donate or pass along Clair's story!</span><br />
