Adult Guinea Pig
These are the piggies that salapples very kindly brought down to us from Ormskirk, the conditions they were kept in were appauling and the piggies in a bad way, all underweight and some with untreatedmedical problems. We have had them 3 weeks now and most are making an improvement. Alot of the girls have lost their front teeth (they have snapped off), more than likely due to a vitamin deficiancy.
The smallest Sally was in a really bad way, she had very little fur, covered in scabs and so itchy she was driving herself mad, she was lso so underweight, less than 500g.
Megan was in the worst condition, she had puss coming out of an almost closed eye that had been left untreated for at least 3 months, she would just sit in one corner shaking. She has since had an operation to remove the puss from the eye socket, they couldn't find an actual eye ball. It was a miracle she even came through the operation as she was so small and fragile. She is now doing ok, although she certainly isn't out of the woods yet, and is still on antibiotics and painkillers. She is also completely blind in her other eye.
Anyway here they are:
Megan
Freda
