Because we did such a great job fundraising for Junebug, and there are a number of days left in March, we are going to try to fundraise for a second piggy--Spike!

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.  

 Now, however, he has started to cry when he urinates and he has to go back in to be evaluated for a possible bladder stone.  Based on his past medical issues, we are going to have him fully evaluated.  The anticipated cost for his visit is $200 (if, as we hope, he does not need surgery).

 Spike is a real trooper and, in spite of all of his medical issues, he continues to adore his foster mom and enjoys his life.  He is a real character and a very special boy.  We are committed to doing our part to make sure he can live as long and happily as possible!

Meet Junebug

from CA Rescue

Orange County Cavy Haven! 

Junebug came to OCCH in June of 2011.  Although she is a cuy (found in the wild in Peru), weighing in at 5 pounds, she is extremely gentle and often comes to events to help educate the public about cuys. 

Junebug needs to get chest x-rays to be diagnosed for heart meds, and we expect that she will be on heart meds for life. Additionally, she has a terrible case of fungus, which her foster mom has been battling diligently with topical treatments, continues to recur. 

Her vet is able to treat the fungus and take care of getting her on proper heart meds but, because we were hit with a string of emergency surgeries, which hit our medical fund hard, Junebug has had to wait to get her treatment.

The estimated total cost for x-rays, and enough medications to get “Buggy” through three months is $325.
