MerryPip
Adult Guinea Pig
Not sure if this is the right place to put this but has anyone else come across changes in dynamic in a bonded pair when one is ill?
My pip has terminal cancer and since it has progressed recently his brother has started ignoring him. Sometimes he acts as if Pip isn't there at all.
Alos Pip's personality has changed since his illness has progressed. He has started biting my OH and fighting with his brother even to the point of bloodshed which they never have before.
They seem ok at the moment and I'm not going to seperate them unless I can help it but it's all a bit wierd really. I think Merry knows Pip hasn't got long left.
