When nice comment pops up after all this time it makes me realize once more what a special little guy he was and how much I will always love and miss him. Thanks for the nice remarks.

I rescued LeStat, I can't take credit for the name, he was already named, from a young college student , along with his cagemate Flower. His spine is twisted so that he can barely walk, his feet/claws are deformed, he is deaf, and his tail is shortened and has a 90 degree break in it. He is the sweetest, kindest most beautiful creature-like your Roy was. He stopped eating and X-rays showes what appear to be cancer in his liver and pancreas. I have fed him by syringe and he is doing well.

Roy was also already named. As you saw in the video, he had osteoporosis and got more and more disabled. You and I both know what a special gift these little creatures are to us! I spent tons of money and time on Roy, plus the stress. But I don't regret any of it. It was one of the most valuable experiences of my life.

What does LeStat eat? Roy ate critical care & different fruit & vegetable concoctions. Hope that you continue to appreciate every minute you have with this lovely little being!

I have a special needs ferret named Lestat. I love him dearly, I must feed him from a syringe and give him special dietary treats. I know the work and dedication and love that goes into taking care of a special needs pet. Keep up the good work, Roy is so cute! I love him!

Thanks for understanding, Yellowrock. My dear Roy passed on in January 2008. I still miss him tremendously. You sure develop a special relationship with a special needs pet, don't you? Blessings to you and Lestat (what a great name!).

lots of hard work for roy, i know he's worth it!! such a lovely pig... and a caring mom as well... roy is so blessed to have you...

-btw... is that a regular ascorbic acid for humans?? coz im thinking of sharing my tablets to my piggies

ROY is so happy to have a new friend from the Philippines! Thank you for all the nice things you said. We'd like to see videos of your piggies too. ROY takes Oxbow Vitamin C tablets with his Oxbow Critical Care because he can't chew well (he does manage to chew those tablets--they're his favorite treat!) I bet you could use regular ascorbic acid. There are also chew biscuits with Vit C that I get at the Pet store! ROY says to stay in touch! Hi to your piggies from us.
