The setup has changed recently, become more in keeping with all my new ventures and has become a lot more organised. The cages have moved and been "tidied up" (i.e. all the chewed up correx was cut down and replaced where necessary) and the cages for the 'inpatients'/poorly boarders have finally been built.

So welcome to my room (Guinea Pig Helpline Nursing central ;))...

Top level - Saffron & Kingslie (sadly still divided)
Middle - Pandora & Harrison
Lower - Dexter, Gwen, Jasmine, Bree, Willa
Plus a 2x2 inpatient cage, for those pigs who come alone and are in dire need of company of some sort.

Top level - Elijah & Errol
Middle - Delilah & Sophia
Lower - Franklyn & Meghan

Storage - piggies have lots of stuff! I had to shift my books out this week to make extra space.

Yes, I have a kettle in my room, and I have a mini-fridge on order too. Kettle for making up syringe-feeds, and mini-fridge to store the subcutaneous fluids and Gwenny's heart meds.

The centre of it all - the examination/treatment table! My favourite thing about this as the moment is the magnifying lamp, absolute bargain on eBay and extremely useful for checking (and eventually treating) piggie teeth.

I'm very excited that it has all come together. Now I just have to get through tomorrow afternoon (2-4pm helping Vedra with consults) and keep going down there twice a week, finish my RHA and just keep moving on up!
 
oh wow! Do you sleep somewhere there too!?!? (I'm half expexting a human bed on a c&c level somewhere... :)))

You are so dedicated and organised, Laura! I hope everything goes well with your rodentologist plans!
 
Wow! You really do eat, sleep and breathe piggies! Your set-up looks amazing (so neat, tidy and professional looking, with everything you could need) - any needy pigs who come your way are very fortunate indeed!

Good luck with tomorrow x
 
The only thing of mine in there is a double bed and a bedside table! And the pictures on the walls. I have hardly anything to my name, I even took my beloved book collection out to make room for more piggie supplies. (The books are only chick lit, but hey, I love chick lit and can't operate without a book in sight. I do have one on my bedside table though so all is not lost.)

To be fair I have to fit it all in one room so it looks more concentrated, can't have things spread into other rooms as I would if it were my own place.
 
That's fantastic. You must be so pleased with the way it's come together. Hope tomorrow goes smoothly. x
 
I am impressed! Definitely piggy central... :))
 
That looks fab hun. Your dedication towards your piggies is truly admirable..
 
Your set up is completely amazing Laura, hope all goes well tomorrow.
 
I am in awe, it is all just so clean and organised! I'm sure that tomorrow will be fine, you are clearly devoted x
 
Looks amazing! However do you sleep, though? My piggies sometimes even wake me up in the next room, with two closed doors between us, plus there are only two of them!
 
Looks amazing Laura! Those magnafiying lamps are great aren't they? I have one for when i have to ink very detailed art work for uni. I hope you get through your placement's at the surgery so you can finish your RHA you'll have to give me a talk through it as I'm planning on starting it in september.
 
That is an amazing set up. I hope it went ok for you today
 
That's brilliant. I love it.

You're a true, blue cavy slave, that's for sure. Any piggy in your hands is in darn good hands, we can all see that. :)
 
Laura i knew you were organised, but this setup is just brilliant sweetie!
Everything to hand, no wonder the HG's are always so happy x)

Hope all went well at Vedra's for you love, i know you can do it!!
