Tigger Update
Tigger was not doing well and losing weight so his meds were changed a bit. The Metacam was stopped and Bactrim started. His Critical Care feedings were increased and he was put back in the smaller cage. He seems to be doing better now and has perked up a bit. He has gained a few grams and now weighs 647 grams which is less than he weighed when he arrived. He now comes to the front of the cage looking for veggies which he gets after he has his Critical care. He still has trouble walking; his right rear leg sticks out a bit and he walks/hops on what would be his knee. [Click a photo to view a larger image.]
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!
