Well, now I'm totally effed.

Dr. Lyons has cancelled all his appointments for June and won't be in town until sometime in July - maybe.

We really need a good pig dentist in town - full time.

Oh, crap. Sorry.

Well, that sucks! What about Dr. Ridgeway. Being known as a piggy doctor, he must have experience with teeth.

Yup, that's all I can do now.

Now to find the time when I can drive the 2 hours (at least) to see him and get back in time to pick Emma up from school.

If you just kidnapped one of them and kept them in your basement, it would make things much easier. :-)

Lawomans has come to the rescue and is taking Goldie down to Dr. Ridgeway on Friday.

Since I'm away this weekend, Lawomans is also going to look after Goldie in case she needs to be handfed.

I am so sorry for your frustration and running around Mum......
Yeah for LAwomans, such a wonderful friend, and this way, you can forgo the kidnap scheme too! : )

Oh, I don't know...Dr. Ridgeway is kind of cute, and Dr. Beeder isn't bad, either...that kidnapping idea has some merit!!!!! Since Mum has already paid for an x-ray machine, he could have an extension practice from her house....:)

Besides, I have ulterior motives...Goldie is sweetheart so I get to have extra snuggles with her!

Mum, aren't you going to Vancouver? Why not make an appointment with Legendre while you're up there?

Mum · Post » Fri Jun 02, 2006 12:57 am

I'm not going till the beginning of August, and she can't wait until then. But we'll see what Dr. Ridgeway says tomorrow!

Goldie saw Dr. Ridgeway today, and he pulled her right, upper incisor because it was rotten.

His thinking was that she must have been in a fight, the teeth (both) were knocked out, and then that one became infected. I then remembered that I'd had the bossy Marilyn in the cage a few months ago, and there was indeed fur and pigs flying all over the place for several days.

So we hope that with the one incisor pulled the other one will grow to compensate. My concern is that the other one is thin and sticking out, but perhaps it'll change it's direction now.

Wow, I really do learn something new everyday at GL.
Piggies fighting and knocking their opponent’s teeth out!

Good luck with the growing tooth Mum, are there such things as corrective dental in piggies?
