Thank you guys. I will draw a picture of her and add it to the rainbow tribute when I'm not such a blubbering mess. It's nice to have people that understand that guinea pigs aren't just guinea pigs when they pass. She is the first one of my pigs that have died. She has 2 cage mates that will...
Thank you i really thinkI did my best . Going to be a big guinea void for a while. I'm doing art at college so I think I will draw a nice picture of her and hang it on my wall. I'm going to miss her.
I'm sorry to say she died while watching harry potter with me a hour ago just after this post. The vet didn't want to give her probiotics and they didn't think she would survive even if hospitalised. She had critical care it seemed to work for a while but I think she was too weak and ill. I'm...
I posted on here the other day about my pig having dihorrea. She saw the vet today and was given critical care. She has completely stopped eating on her own.
This started off as a eye infection which all her cage mates got aswell but she didn't improve from treatment, she started wheezing and...
Hi,
My piggy has been really ill lately she has been to the vets 3 times in the last week or so. It started off as an eye infection which all of her cage mates had too. They all had eye drops and the other 2 pigs got better but she didn't. I took her to the vets again yesterday. As she has...
That is a sad situation I'm sure you're making his life amazing and he will be grateful no matter how short it might be. You're doing a great thing for him. ☺ It's really amazing ☺ he looks very happy x
My pig is only 3 months old so i dobut it would be arthritis. He is on metacam atm for the swelling and antibiotics to stop any kind of bone infections. The vet saw him today and said the swelling has reduced considerably and he didn't think a xray would be necessary, I have another check up...
Ohh no poor boy that's so sad. He is a gorgeous pig :) is he getting better or will this be a ongoing thing? I'm sure he is in safe hands, if I could help I would but I've just spent alot of money on vets bills today :(
Hi,
I have a guinea pig who has seen the vet already. His knees are swollen on his back legs. One is alot worse than the other. He barely walks on it at all. He is in for xrays tomorrow if it is still swollen.
I have no idea how this happened...
But the vet couldn't feel any broken bones...
I had the same problem with my gerbil. And she became very ill. And I found out she was allergic to pine! In most sawdust. Maybe try different bedding with dust extracted? Care fresh is good for small animals and it stops any smells. And has no dust in it. But I wouldn't ignore this eye problem...
I know this is why I will do everything I can to make it monday if I can. I've used the forum before about the same guinea pig it helped me alot. I don't want people thinking I'm going to let this wait till the 6th and leaving him to suffer. Just felt people were having a go not advising me...
There is advice then there is telling me I'm letting my pig suffer. I think any owner would be offended if someone said that. The fact I came on here to get advice shows I want what's best for my pet. I don't appreciate being told he is suffering. I don't come from a well off family or...
Did you read my comment? The eye has been treated by the vet. I've been a few times. I literally have 15 quid to my name right now. So like I said I will speak to my vet. If you read my comment again I said I will be speaking to my vet, they do spread the cost and direct debit.
If you want to...
Okay. The others haven't shared the run at all. Just in the same room. I will take him and his sow down to the vets when I have the money which won't be till the 6th I know a consultation with the veterinary nurse is free at my vets. Also the vet there is very good. He checked and cleaned the...
