This
is our little sweetheart Sophie. This picture was taken on her
fourth birthday last August. Spoiled, yes, but she deserves every bit of
it. Sophie made our Christmas season brighter this last year because she
was a sweet little trooper in her speedy recovery from bladder surgery
that was done on December 13, 2004. Sophie had to have two bladder stones
surgically removed, and one of them was the size of a pea! That is a
very large stone to reside in a guinea pig's bladder that is no larger
than a grape.
On the first day after surgery, Sophie was eating and drinking on her
own, ripping up her newspaper bedding, playing with her toilet paper
tubes, and running around her cage! Her physical activity and sunny
disposition made it easier for us to give her the medicine and nutrient
supplement during her recovery. Sophie's stitches were snipped out on
December 27, and she hasn't skipped a beat! Sophie is our happy little
girl, and we are very thankful for her speedy recovery!
