Daisy and Lucky living together????

Oh, ohhhhhhhhhhh! Watch out. No fighting! Get some carrots STAT! Wheek! [Both Lucky and Daisy have been living next to each other for about a month or two with the goal to try to bond them so that they can live together. They are in the bathroom and are doing okay. I need to keep an eye on them since they are not sure if they want to actually share the same space. Sure hop they decide to become best friends!]

Oscar and Pryn back together again!

For now! Forever? Who knows! Wheek! [Both Oscar and Pryn are healing and now acting somewhat normal. However, Oscar is still receiving medication although it is being cut back. I put them both back in the same cage today and am not sure if it will work long term. However, at the moment they are doing okay.]

Queenie crossed over the Rainbow Bridge

Queenie, who was six years old, all of a sudden gained weight and felt like she was pregnant. I had scheduled a vet visit but the vet was not able to see her. Queenie was blind and had a permanent head tilt. She came to me about 1-1/2 years ago along with her sister Kim, who was her "guide dog". It was believed due to her other symptoms that she also had ovarian cysts and that is why she suddenly gained weight and felt as though she was pregnant. Queenie left her mark in that she was a winner in two of People Pet's photos contests. Rest well little one. Kim misses you and is calling out for you.

Oscar and Pryn still scratching!

What's with that? I want to know now! Call the guinea pig police! Wheek! [Pryn and Oscar came with a bad case of mites along with a fungal infection. They have been treated for nearly a month and are slowly improving. Both no longer have spasms or seizures but Oscar continues to scratch and shriek out in pain.]

Loren (aka Baby) got adopted

Loren got adopted! Way to go! Wheek! [Baby and his father were pulled from a shelter because of Buster's skin problem. For some reason Baby did not like to share his cage with his dad and bit him a few times. After he was fostered he was paired up with another male and they are best buddies now. The shelter notified me that they were adopted and heading to their new home. Buster was heading to the shelter today but he seems to have scratched his ears so he's back on fungal watch again.]
