Hello! My name is Dominique and I am a new Guniea Pig Mom.
My family nor I never had a piggie, but it’s the only type of pet other than a goldfish my landlord allows.
Her name is Pearl and she is just the sweetest little thing. She’ll let you pet her all day, but she has been going though a few health issues and would love some advice.
About 3 weeks ago my boyfriend saw that she had mites and we took her to the vet and she was given 2 shots of mite treatment and was put on an antibiotic. We seemed to be in the clear but then she “bit” off two of her nails. There was no blood but it was infected and she was given Gabapentin for the pain but I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this? I love the little girl to peices and don’t want anything bad to happen to her
