Thanks! I am very proud of my piggies! I am particularly proud of Christian since his live saving op to have this huge abscess removed last week:
Christian Abscess 1.webpChristian Abscess 2.webp

Poor boy was under for 1 hour 5 minutes. The abscess was located here:

He is now nearly better. Antibiotics for another week.

He has been left with a wonky willy poor boy!

It's all part of live's rich pattern and what you have to go through being a piggy Mum!

:lol!: Do all your guinea pigs live toDgether @Betsy ? Just wondered how it worked with the two boys as I understand they’re a family

Yep they all live together as one happy family. :eek: It only works cos the 2 boys are so laid back as to be almost horizontal and Velvet (DA BOSS):yikes::yikes: keeps everyone in order. No one dare misbehave when she's around! I was surprised when I bonded them all. Christian and Dennis are brothers and their sister is Meg. Luckily the 2 boys never fell out as teenagers and were really closely bonded when the Plum Fairy visited. When they went in with the girls they were fine after a bit of wee spraying and teeth chattering they soon worked out the hierachy. It is Velvet, Betsy, Christian, Dennis then Meg. I know what my piggies and I have managed to achieve is very rare. I do have a Plan B if the boys ever do fall out. I'll put Christian with Velvet and Meg (Meg needs Velvet or else she'd be completly lost) and Dennis with Betsy. I may consider getting another sow to put with Dennis and Betsy if I ever need to. Hopefully I won't. Christian even slotted back easily into the herd after being separated for a week following his life saving op. I was concerned that this may not happen.
