Man Down! Auction Up!
Well today the bidding wars officially begin for Leo the poorly kitty. Get over there are get in before all the bargains are gone! Whee just managed to sneak a little something in for you to big on but it was a close thing because one of us had a little accident last night . . .

Duuuuuuun
Yes, the drama. Unfortunately Buddy and Basil had a little argument last night and one of them got hurt. It was poor little Basil (whee say poor but he is suspected of starting the fight in the first place) Usually they say that if they draw blood you must separate guinea pigs immediately but straight after they were cuddled up together with Buddy caring for Basil so Mummy decided it would do more harm than good to separate them.
Basil had what is a quite nasty deep cut which goes all the way through his lip and is a little over 1cm. Mummy called the out of hours vets last night in a bit of a panic for some advice. Whee have to keep it clean and let it heal on its own unless he shows signs of an infection. So whee are keeping a careful eye on him. Mummy is giving him some special food called critical care and probiotic water just to keep him going in case he is struggling to eat or drink. After the way he attacked veggies this morning whee think he is ok but Mummy is just being careful. This morning whee got a pigture so whee could show you guys the damage and believe it or not this is actually a hell of a lot better than it was last night!
Please send healing wheeks too Basil and he requests from his sickbed that you buy lots of things at the auction as it is for such a good cause.
Have a mellow Monday

Oh Basil!!!! You will look just as adorable with a scar as you did with your perfectly kissable lips believe me! I hope it heals up REAL quick with no infection or anything. You better behave yourself young man – getting in a fight is not the way for a guy to behave!!!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
He has been acting like a baby all morning. Trying to curl up in the palm of Mummy’s hand like he used to when he was little. Think he is feeling a bit sorry for himself! Such a naughty piggy. Mummy says he is the naughtiest piggy she has ever had. I’m glad she has chosen to forget my pillow destroying incident as a baby!

Awwww Basil!!! That is a nasty cut 😦 I am so glad that mummy is there to baby you to good health!!! And here is positive vibes that their spat is over with for good!!! ❤
Well she syringe fed him through the night and he has had lots of fuss and cuddles so hopefully he will be better soon.

Please get well soon Basil – I’ll bet it’s invisible after a short while…hmmm… I’ve heard about catfights but piggiefights?
Piggiefights? It’s the only explanation. Whee do argue about who is boss!
xxxx
Wow that is a nasty cut – but if anyone can pull it off you can pal!
I will wear it with style!
Basil

Oh Basil – that does look nasty! Heal quickly dear boy.
Whee will do our best with him. Silly naughty boy.

Healing wheeks being sent!
Thank you! Whee are feeling them already!

We hope you feel better Basil!
Thank you. Whee hope he feels better soon.

Is this your Harrison Ford look, Basil? Haven’t had a piggy fight in a long time. Boys are fiercer, but girls fight forever. My sister has two sows that have been having an ongoing very slow fight for a year or two.
Oh dear. Whee don’t often fight. In fact Mummy has dealt with only two big arguments in seven years of piggies but this third one really takes the biscuit. She was quite upset as there was quite a lot of blood. Hopefully whee are all friends again now!

The worst fights we’ve ever had were among unrelated males, brothers usually have it worked out who is in-charge. My sister’s hand ended up in the middle of a fight which also resulted in two torn ears (one each). Worst fight ended with a pig who needed staples (on a major holiday when only emergency vets were open).
Gosh that’s awful. Whee had one open wound on Nibbles’s back when he and Nutty argued but this is the only other time there has been blood. The other time was a bit of fur stealing!
Certainly keeping us on our toes!

So Basil is starting a life of crime and has renamed himself Scarface?
Apparently so!
xxxx
Poor piggie! Get better soon Basil! Xoxo
Will do. I think I am really working the bad boy look!
Basil

Ha ha ha! Rock that cut Basil!
Poor Basil! We will all love you even if you get a scar. It will make you look tough and dangerous.
Love and healing licks,
Cupcake
Rocking the bad boy look!
Basil

Good golly, 1cm is big on such a tiny little face. What can you do, there’s always sibling rivalry. Sending all my healing wishes Basil’s way and I hope the two of them remain friends hereafter. Poor wee thing!
They seem to be furfriends again which is a relief!
xxxx
Poor Basil….hope you feel better soon!
Purrs, Sundae
Thank you. Will try to pull of the tragic poor-me-expression as long as possible!
Basil

Basil! My beautiful Basil! I’m sure it was a misunderstanding, an honourable duel or a fight to prevent something worse. Don’t worry Basil, just look after yourself and mend, the scar will make you more handsome.
Hehehe my fair Princess . . . I shall do as you command and submit to the saline cleaning of it twice a day!

Poor baby!
I know. He’s getting better now though which is a relief!

OH dear, well you know you’ll still be totally loved. I know from experience. I have a very similar scar in the EXACT same place. TRUE STORY, except I was bit by a very bad doggy.
Ouch. Very naughty doggy. Whee will bite his kneecaps for you!
