in flight
The fungus among us

The guinea piggy Fireball the Fat has partial results back from his fungal test from the vet today. The result – positive. The vet will still need another week to figure out what exactly it is and how to cure it. Hopefully the piggy will take to the cure better than the weekly shots he has to take. He really doesn’t like those.

While waiting in the lobby, a boy of about six or seven came in with his dad and a basket lined with a green blanket. He had a cream and brown colored guinea pig in the basket, but the guinea pig was resting on his side and not moving much at all. A bad bad bad sign. The boy tried to feed the piggy a bit of green pepper but the mammal just laid there. Seeing the boy petting the sick piggy and making sure he was comfy on the blanket just broke my heart. I hope the pig made it but the chances are slim. That vet is the best in the area, so in any case they’ll make things better for the little piggy.



Sean has his site up over at http://www.polygonprospect.com. He has a Photoshop tutorial up on how to make transparent CS:S sprays, which actually takes some work. Go read, and then come play on the server (216.52.148.79:27015 for the unknowing). If we all work together we can keep covering up Sean’s Radiohead spray. We all win when that happens my friends, we all win.

Again, Sean’s site is over here: http://www.polygonprospect.com.

Thx for the kind wishes for the piggie guys! :)

Fireball's still fat and sassy, but he's still losing the chair on his rump. He goes to Animal Kingdom in Saline, one of the people is there really good with piggies!

awwwwwww, yeah i'm sorry for your peeg :-(. i was just at the pet store earlier today and saw a whole mess of 'em running around their cages and making their peeg noisses, it was cute in MY opinion at least (tod :-P) who do you take your peeg to? i'm sure they're quite good, although i must go on record saying _my_ mom's practice is the best in the area haha ;-) although the pratice is geared towards midsized animals much more than small. Anyway i hope your fat animal is feeling much better soon!
