Oh Zippy! Just saw this thread about spaying! I was scheduled to have Mr. Squeekers, my guinea pig neutered a couple of weeks ago. I want to get him a "room mate," at the shelter, and she is female! I was so nervous about it. Then the WTC tragedy happened and I completely forgot about the appt. Your discussion here though, has given me the courage to reschedule the appt.! Today is RABBIT DAY!!!!!!!!!!! What a special day is in store for precious little Sophie! I hope she gets lots of goodies today! Have you posted a picture of her anywhere here? I thought there was a thread with her picture but I can't remember where! Love to you and little Sophie girl! So glad the surgery went well!! Love, Sandra and Co.
