I tested positive for COVID Thursday night and have been feeling pretty rotten even though this is my second round and I am double vaxxed and boosted. I've delegated all the pet care to the rest of the family because I don't want to risk infecting any of the animals (the hamsters at least I know all vulnerable to COVID, I can't find really clear info on the guinea pigs.) I usually hold the pigs every single day and I really miss them. :( I'm just saying hello from across the room, they probably wonder where I went! I'm isolated until Wednesday, hoping that I feel better enough by then that I can go back to my normal animal care routine.

Hi

I am ever so sorry. The new variants are becoming more and more infectious, sadly. :(

You may find our practical forum information pack helpful; it includes our Covid information and practical tips for owner illness. We haven't heard of any cases of transmission that have involved guinea pigs: Contagion - Inter-species transmission and pet care during owner illness/pregnancy (incl. Covid)

I wish you a quick and smooth recovery and hope that it is not making the fully round of the family.
 
It must be awful to have guinea pigs in the house and not be able to interact with them 😭 I hope you get well very soon!
 
It’s odd to be lonely when you’re in the house with people aren’t you.

If it’s any consolation I avoided my family when I had it first time. Husband slept downstairs and I was only downstairs (windows wide open) while they were at school. I had to keep going with the piggies because I’m the only one who really knows their routine. I wore a mask when dealing with them and when downstairs with the family around.

Hope you start feeling better soon and can have a cuddle with your piggies again soon ♥️
 
Thanks everyone! I'm about 4 day in and beginning to feel better... I'm isolating in my bedroom (hubby is sleeping on the couch) and kids staying away and no pets, I'm lonely!

HUGS

It is hard when you cannot cuddle your pets when you are feeling really low. :(
