Updates ... about time!
What's the problem with the staff these days? On summer vacation? Get a replacement STAT! Wheek![Big news! Oscar and Pryn were adopted last week by a woman and her teenage daughter. They have had guinea pigs before and felt that it was time to have another pair in their life again. Oscar and Pryn were very at ease with them and Gwyn is happy with them too! Tiggerwent back for another vet visit since he was not progressing as hoped. He has slightly pale gums and his left rear "knee" does not function fully as his left one does. He gained back all of the weight that he had lost but he is losing weight again. Suki went along with Tigger to get a second opinion on her occasional sneezing. Her nostrils were swollen so she was put back on a (low) dose of Bactrim along with Little Noses nose drops. She can be seen above inspecting her Corner Cabin made by Jen's Creative Crafts. Pippa and Tibby were dumps that I was supposed to "climb a ladder" to retrieve if the family was not home to meet me. They ended up at the shelter where I pulled them since they had too many guinea pigs. They have the same coloring as Kira and Licorice and apparently came from the same source. Fluffy got checked again at the vet yesterday. He got his incisors lightly trimmed. Fortunately, he does not have a major problem with his teeth. Luna has been scratching since she arrived here and so far the various treatments have not resolved her itching. Today she got a CocoNeem melt treatment followed by a Manuka and Neem shampoo (both by Gorgeous Guineas). Not sure if it will work but she ended up looking like a grease ball! She's been shampooed twice but the oil didn't come out so I'll wait a couple of days and give her another bath.
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!
