    Euthanasia

    Hi everyone, Just looking for similar experiences on how to know when to let go. One of my girls is just over 5 and she has large ovarian cysts.

    Apple sticks

    I give my guinea pigs Apple branches a couple times a week and I gave them skinnier ones and they both ate them completely-can’t find them anywhere in cage. Is this okay?

    Anaesthesia

    My pig had to be put under anaesthesia (injection) for teeth trimming earlier today. The vet gave him to us before he woke up and didn't give him the "wake up shot" or whatever the technical term for it is and he has been asleep since, for around 7 hours now. He is breathing but doesn't react to...
