The Visit, Adoptions and Peanut

I will make a quick run down on the vet visit from yesterday. Abby and Juno the two guinea pigs are possibly not pregnant, just overly plump. Dr.T couldn't feel anything that would be a baby in them. He said guinea pigs do not show pregnancies in an X-ray. We are still keeping them for the duration of a pregnancy watch ( 2 to 2 and half months) just in case. Dr.T said they could be very early in their pregnancy where not much is "formed." Remi the hairless rat had 2 cysts, Dr.T was able to remove them both during the exam. After some healing time, he with then be adoptable. Quagmire the white pigeon had a great exam, he is healthy and ready for adoption. Baby the cockatiel had plugged up nares ( notrils ) from excess dander, after some flushing out her notrils are now clear. She is missing an entire toenail on her one foot. Could have resulted from an old injury. Otherwise, she is doing great. Chillia the chinchilla does have some issues. He has some tooth disease going on and mislignment of his teeth. Chillia is back to the vet today, he was dropped off this morning. Dr.T is taking X-rays of his teeth and jaw, and can hopefully help him out with the crooked and diseased tooth. He suspects there could be some problems with the roots of that tooth as well. I will update on how he is doing.
Yesterday, Pepper the baby angora rabbit was adopted. And also Goldie, Katie and Pocohantas the dwarf hamsters were adopted :)
Peanut the guinea pig arrived yesterday. He is a cute black and white guy with a crest of fur on his head. He has acclimated well to the hub bub of the house. He is eating timothy hay and exploring his new home.
