Why does he have that on his head? That's for guinea pigs, Willie! Stop playing around! [Once again Willie has taken his quality control inspections a bit too seriously. He decided to check out a cozy that was sent and ended up wearing it! He was "rescued" and, much to his relief, can now see again.]
She gained weight! Wheek![Update: Kylie was checked by the vet last weekend and was on the low side of normal for her weight. I decided to go back to what she was eating a while ago (alfalfa-based Mazurri vs. Oxbow or Kleenmama's timothy-based pellets) and she immediately ate all of pellets. She gained weight but lost some yesterday so I'll just keep an eye on her. If she loses more the vet said that blood tests and/or x-rays would be the next diagnostic options. This morning she was shivering again and she might be cold. She had two warm items in her cage but she did not use either one so a hut and a crash pad will be put in instead.]
What's with that? Where's Dr. D? Call her STAT! Wheek![Kylie has now lost 170 grams since May. Part of this is due to pellet change and part due to her companion - whom she seemed stressed out being around - being adopted and part unknown. She eating, but like Izzy when she was by herself prior to adoption, not eating as much as the others. I do have a call in to the vet to have her checked. She has been tried with several pigs but she's not into cage mates at the moment but I may try her with Belle and Misha and/or Dolly and Kira next weekend. Here she is in her winterized cage: warm corridor by Jens Custom Crafts and a nap bed made by the Fuzzies Kingdom. There is a quilt attached to the back of the cage (the top is covered) and a thermometer keeps track of the temperature inside her cage.]
No bleeding! Wheek![So far there has been no blood in Belle's cage or on her like there was at the shelter. The cause for the blood is unknown. She is shown here in a cozy tunnel made by Piggy Bed Spreads that she and Misha are using to keep warm.]
What real estate? I only see a tunnel and a skateboard. Get the guinea police now. She has lost it! [After the skateboard was added to the cage the tunnel, made by Pinoy Pet Cuddle Cup, was moved and suddenly it became very popular. As you can see both Charlie and Suki were trying it out at the same time. When it was on the other side of the cage they ignored it.]
Jasmine was a very special little rescued guinea pig with multiple medical problems from which she never fully recovered. More information about her may be found at Jasmine's Website. The current focus of Jasmine's blog is updates about the critters living at Guinea Pig Fun. Enjoy!
