For those who are interested, I have uploaded some new guides into our information collection which you may find helpful and/or interesting:
- How to Improvise Feeding Support in an Emergency (Emergency sub-section off Health/Illness)
This guide deals with all the most common practical questions that can come up with a sudden illness and the need for instant feeding support care - something handy for a panic! It should also work for countries that haven't got access to recovery formula food.
I have also linked it into the relevant chapter of our regular feeding and medicating guide.
- Wiebke's Guides to the Body - Normality and Illnesses
(Sticky at the top of Health/Illness section; the guides themselves are in Wiebke's Home Care Guides sub-section off Health/Illness)
Wiebke's Guide to Pees and Stones
Wiebke's Guide to Poops
Wiebke's Guide to Tummy Trouble
These are practical overview articles that help you learn to understand how the body works, what is normal and what to look out for in terms of common illnesses connected to that organ or body part. There will be more additions in due time. While they are mainly geared towards new owners even more experienced ones may find one or two useful bits and tips in there.
- Seeds - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
This is a closer look at the various seed groups and their different roles in a guinea pig diet. It's more one for the geeks but there has been so far no in-depth overview. You may find it a bit of an eye opener in some rather unexpected ways.
