FEBRUARY'S PIG OF THE MONTH-Miss Scarlet


from TX Rescue


Miss Scarlet is a very special pig going through a hard time. This poor girl has a UTI, calcium sludge, urine scald, and on top of all of that, ovarian cysts.

Miss Scarlet, pictured at left with her sister Miss Piggins, needs a spay, which is an intensive procedure for guinea pigs. It requires an expert vet, which Texas Rustlers is lucky to have.

We are hoping to fundraise for this spay, estimated at $200 (including pain meds and antibiotics), as well as purchase her a cage blanket, costing about $50. The blanket will enable her feetsies to have a soft surface, and aid her urine scald and UTI recovery.

Aside from these requests from the rescue, I would also like to raise an additional $75 in case there are future issues for Miss Scarlet. I would like to establish a vet fund for this dear girl. The director of Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue had a difficult year in 2010, and I think it would be great if we could all take one worry off her plate. Our fundraising goal is $325.

Miss Scarlet was born in August of 2005, and she has been in the rescue with her sister since 2007. They are best friends.
