Murphy's Story

My name is Murphy and I am a young male guinea pig. I am special because both of my back legs are paralyzed and I cannot use them. I still get around very well though! I am bonded to my friend Murphy- we came from a high-kill shelter in California were they were going to put me to sleep because of my legs. <br/>The rescue stepped in and took care of me and my brother (they actually have my father as well! Picasso and Kusama)<br/>I am a big baby and I wheek loudly when my brother picks on me. My legs are pretty much back to normal now, but you can still see that I do not have full strength in them. I do not need any special care other than a vet check up once a year like all piggies do! The rescue lady has all of my vet records.
