Junior Guinea Pig
I'm so upset i came home from shopping and checked on my guineas n my little man had passed away......................The story behind little alfie is i bought some guinea pigs from a pet shop n the minute i seen little alfie i wanted him but the shop owner said hes not happy with him so he cant sell him to me as he was very poorley he could hardley walk he was so tiny compared to his brothers he was the runt of the litter he was in with baby rabbits it was playing on my mind all night he being there in the shop when he needed tlc so as soon as the shop opened the next day i rang them n said i want him i will look after him the shop owner said we could have him but he wont charge us as he doesnt think hes gonna make it as he was floppy now we went and collected him i hand fed him as he didnt seem to have ** balance if he fell on his right side he couldnt get off that right side within a few days he was hopping along but i still wasnt happy so took him to the vets the vet said his knee was swollen so he give us some anti inflamitries he also said he was very under weight everyday he seemed better and better i cuddled him every night watchin t.v within a week he was weight bearing on both legs and wow did he have an appetite but he still wasnt gaining weight n what i hadnt noticed before was that 1 side of his face was like a skeleton * could see indide his mouth was that bad my hubby said hes always been like that well today we would have had him a month I'm so devastated he was coming on leaps n bounds was so shocked i was only cuddleing him this morning and he was fine xx8...:0
