'Why yes mumma I am feeling better today, why do you ask?' 😉 Moo is almost due for another bath already! 😝 #thefoxresidence #dentaldisease #cavysofinstagram #cavysofig #cavysofinsta #cavylove #guineapig #guineagram #guineapiglove #guineapigsofinstagram #satinpig #satinsyndrome #osteodystrophy

Tiny shiny Moo is off to the vets tomorrow for her monthly dental procedure. She is doing pretty well and has maintained her weight from her love of baby food and critical care, however she needs a trim as she is having trouble eating her veggies. Keep her in your thoughts ❤️🙏🏻 #thefoxresidence #satinpig #satinsyndrome #osteodystrophy #guineapig #guineagram #guineapigsof_ig #guineapigsofinstagram #guineapigstagram #cavy #cavygram #cavylove #cavysofig #cavysofinsta #cavysofig #cavysofinstagram #dentaldisease

Happy Friday from a happy, healthy looking Moo ❤️ she is probably a week or two away from her next dental, but we are grateful for how well she is doing currently 💕 Ps that's critical care mixed with baby food that she is eating, and despite how horrible it looks she really loves it ☺️ #thefoxresidence #guineapig #guineapiglove #guineapigofig #guineagram #guineasofinstagram #guineapigstagram #cavy #cavygram #cavysofig #instacavy #instapiggies #osteodystrophy #satinpig #satinsyndrome #criticalcare #oxbow

Look who is bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and hungry today ☺️ There are no words to describe the relief I feel when Moo has good days, and she is happy and eating and active. I embrace these days because I know she is going to have more bad days as well. She is a roller coaster pig! But for as long as I get to see those beautiful big happy eyes I know I have to do everything I can for her. Satin syndrome is an expensive disease. Every dental procedure and/or x-ray for Moo costs me around $200-300, plus she is on medication 3 times a day that constantly need refilling. If anyone would like to contribute to Moo's medical bills that would be a massive help ❤️ Our PayPal is [email protected], or bank details can be provided upon request. Also don't forget we sell vet bed, oxbow and hay, so spoilt your piggies too! #thefoxresidence #cavysofinstagram #cavysofig #cavygram #guineasofinstagram #guineapigs #guineagram #guineapigsofig #satinpig #satinsyndrome #osteodystrophy #donationsneeded #donationswelcome #donationsappreciated #missmoo

Hope everyone in QLD looked after your furkids in the heat today, and don't forget it's going to still be very hot over the next few days with possible storms, so keep everyone safe. When it started to cool down this afternoon Miss Moo and I sat outside for some rayz and enjoyed the breeze ❤️ she is sporting a mildly unattractive on her white fur critical-care-beard, as she hasn't been eating as much on her own as I would like her to, but she is an awesome little piglet who will eat her critical care from a bowl or spoon and doesn't need to be syringe fed, bless. #satinpig #satinsyndrome #osteodystrophy #cavysofinstagram #cavyslave #guineapig #guineapigsofinstagram #guuneapigsofig #thefoxresidence

I had that tiny glimmer of hope that maybe this year I wouldn't be at the vets between Christmas and New Year...silly me! 🙄 My darling Moo only turned one year this month and is already suffering at the hands of 'Satin Syndrome' 😔. As you can see she is very shiny, despite the fact that both her mum and dad (who were backyard bred before arriving here pregnant) are normal PEW piggies. Satin piggies are at risk of Osteodystrophy, an incurable and painful metabolic bone disease. Satins develop dental problems and gait/arthritis and often require lifelong pain management and dental procedures. The usual age of onset of symptoms is around 18 months, and I have been watching Moo so closely since she was born because I was worried about how satin she was. Moo was born a big, healthy baby yet her development slowed once she hit 800g - her sister Polly, a PEW, had a slow start as she was rejected by their mum, yet she is now over 1kg in weight. Moo will be having her first dental procedure tomorrow along with some full body scans to see if she has any bone issues yet. Please keep her in your thoughts tomorrow. If you would like to contribute to Moo's vet costs, which will be ongoing from here onwards, our PayPal is [email protected] ❤️ #thefoxresidence #guineapig #guineapigsofig #cavylove #cavyslave #cavysofinstagram #satinsyndrome #satinpig #osteodystrophy
