Adult Guinea Pig
piglet had an appointment with the vet for his ringworm this afternoon, which went well, gave us shampoo and ointment for him. the other 2 are supposed to use the shampoo as well....apparently roger has a huuuge problem with baths! we washed him in a basin that's a good foot deep. well, the little brat literally launched himself out of the basin straight up in the air and landed six inches away on the counter next to the sink. i couldnt believe it, i had no idea he could jump so high! we are so lucky he didnt get hurt, but i think he gave me a minor heart attack in the process mallethead. we also had to disinfect everything, which was quite tedious; i hope i got it all clean. the bad part is i have to give them 2 baths a week, hopefully roger doesnt end up killing himself (you should have heard the way he was wheeking, you would have thought we were torturing him instead of bathing him!) rolleyes. I'm just glad they didnt give me an oral treatment again, although with the bath fiasco it might be easier to syringe feed them...
