Almond and Anise, Happy and Recovering

[Dindeen]

My guinea pigs had some health problems. Almond (brown one) was in a really bad condition and I had to syringe feed him for a week. Treatment was late as the only vet whole could perform the procedure was out of town for two weeks. No other vet wanted to handle their case as most vets in our country treat only dogs, cats or livestock. I was incredibly frustrated, but my dad wisely said that I was doing the best that I could so I should not worry about the things that I could not control (the vet's leave).

The boys are separated most of the day so that we can watch how much they eat. Taking pictures was such a challenge because they ran around each other excitedly. The orange-ish splatter on the towel are drops of vitamin C syrup.

They are doing well now and Almond is rapidly gaining weight. He also eats like a horse. Hopefully he'll be 100% a-ok by the end of August.

Oh I did not know Almond had a friend! I hope he is better soon.

Aren't they gorgeous! Great to hear Almond's on the mend. You've done a great job keeping him going until the vet came back.

Anise turned a year old last April. He's shy towards humans but rowdy around Almond. Thankfully, he did not lose his appetite so I only had to worry about Almond's eating habits.

Nice to see you again. Glad Almond is getting better, he is in superb hands with you.

They are both beautiful by the way.

Thanks for the kind words!

I've been busy with work and my masters. All work/study and no timeout is stressful though, so now I'm back browsing cat forums and guinea pig forums for all the pretty pictures and stories.
