I have spent much of the day looking at your new site and your blog, it is great, very well done.

When my guinea pig ate snail pellets, the vet said to put him to sleep, I said no, all through the night and day, I used a pipette to syringe water into him, every 4 hours, night and day. After 24 hours I introduced Weetabix in a very sloppy mixture. It took me a week to get him able to feed himself. He was a shadow of his size and I kept him in a box in the airing cupboard to keep him warm. His name was Squeakey (After the English dish, Bubble and Squeek), he lived for 7 years and died cradled in my arms.

Why not put baby\’s socks on the boy\’s claws, it should help a bit - Good luck.

I am even more saintly this morning. (shut up eg, I am working on my image here.) I’ve been working on the soon to be unveiled website and have been called away 5 times to prepare chicken for his consumption. I have then washed him and the floor 5 times, too.

I see all those slashes. Are we becoming a slash site?

Good and bad news. The canned stuff stank so badly that I thawed a rolled veal breast and made a simple brasato from it and turned some of it into baby food. It was a huge hit. It was such a hit that OG tried to shove the food and my hand into his mouth with every bite. He is graduated to the demitasse spoon all the time, which means it goes in faster and he gets and wants more food. It\’s very rich and gelatinous, includes carrots and celery and leek for flavor as well as some thyme. That meant I could eat it too! But not pureed.

The bad news his he uses his claws to get my hand to his mouth faster. The other bad news is that I left the opened tin on the counter to feed him for 10-15 minutes and when I returned flies had laid eggs in it! Does that say something about how nasty that stuff is?

I am so sorry about Other Guy. It is such a grief to see our furry children in pain, and not understanding what is happening to them. I think the kitty-sock thing will help — congrats on your innovation! Poor baby (both of you).

Hi Judith,

I was wondering how Other Guy is getting on? I must take my hat off to you for being so patient with him. Cats definitely do not make good patients…

As to your cinghiale problem, you could try dangling cinghiale salami around the boundary of your lands as a warning to them a la middle ages head on pole feudal style?

You make it sound like he’d make a good bachelor.

I’m sure that now he’s accustomed to having women fawning over him and feeding hin nasty smelly nutritious tidbits he’ll be thrilled to go back to living outside and eating regular food with the others.
