LUCKY the guinea pig is out of surgery and doing well.

Lucky had a tough start in life, abandoned, almost cooked and then nearly drowned after falling from a bridge (Voice November 29, 2014).

When new owners Jasmine, Robert and Daniel Bagley brought him into their Yokine home they soon found his teeth were getting too long for him to eat, a sign of a previously poor diet.

The folk from Perth Vet Bill Assistance Inc raised enough money for the operation and on Monday Unusual Pets vet James Haberfield trimmed the rodent’s teeth at half price.

His owners report the little cavy’s now eating again, chowing down on post-operation “Critical Care” mush, starting off with a syringe but now eating off a spoon.

Lucky apparently loves the nutrient-rich goo so much he skittles straight across the room like a big furry bullet whenever he hears meals are being prepared.
