All Potbelly Pigs are doing great.  Several of our “Special Needs” group have made great improvement over the last 2 months.

Pearlie Jo, (8.5) our asthmatic girl is doing much better with her neublizer, (Thank you Gail Miller and Scarlett) for the donation of the machine.  She has been smart enough to figure out that it helps her breathe and lays perfectly still while getting the treatment.

Essi (3) is taking full advantage of the “weight loss program” (Jenny Craig has nothing on our program) and lost a total of 18 pounds in less than 3 months,

Chelsea (17) has taken full use of the hydrotherapy tub for the winter months and now has graduated to the swimming pools for the summer. BUT she is walking much better and enjoying the sun and cool breeze under the apple trees.

Hector (14), who lost his 6 year companion Min Mouse, a few months ago has begun to socialize with other's which is great for him.

Remember to call your local veterinarian for update on vaccinations, Mycoplasma pneumonia and worming by injection, (Ivomec).  Also for health certificates and micro-chipping if you are traveling out of the state of Colorado, ALL SWINE REGARDLESS IF PET OR DOMESTIC IN THE STATE OF COLORADO NEED PERMENANT ID.  Micro-chipping is so easy and it is allowable.  For more information contact the Pig-A-Sus.

Enjoy your summer months while enjoingy your pet(s) rather a potbelly pig, dog, cat, horse, or whatever you chose for a companion animal.

Make sure to take appropriate measures for the heat that your animal(s) endure.  To some ANIMALS, excessive HEAT is instant death, and to others, may cause many medical problems.  Know what to do and WHAT NOT TO DO, to cool your animals.

REMEMBER, COLD WATER IS NOT A HEALTHY REMEMDY FOR COOLING DOWN YOUR ANIMAL……. THIS CAUSES HEATSTROKES, HEART ATTACKS, AND STROKES
