Cavy used in a sentence

Cavy in a sentence as a noun

The dropping of a healthy guinea pig, stewed in a little water and then fed to the sick cavy, can be almost 'miracle-like' in its cure of gut stasis and other gastro issues.

Or just ask for 'that cavy'.The article mentions 'guinea men' to refer to the trading ships that shuttled between Britain, South America and 'Guinea', but I can't help but imagine a hypothetical breed of six feet tall, dapperly clothed, bipedal guinea pig.
