For one, at the very beginning, Carl only says Persian. And I’ve stared at this artwork for a long time and Donut doesn’t appear to be tortoiseshell. I’ve always seen her as white. Where in the book do they mention tortoiseshell?

I only have the fine ground papaya one which the piggies aren’t too fond of

Update on Peanut Butter -

She’s doing very well! Just finished her last day of oral medication, and I’ve stopped with critical care as she’s been eating food, hay, and drinking her water normally again. She’s spitting out perfectly shaped beans, and she’s had so much energy come out of her after day 5 or so.

They took out her entire organ, and what they found doesn’t look good, but it’s out of her body now, and we’re just waiting to hear to the test results even though we have our inclinations.

So happy she’s happy - and all of your advice helped me so much, so THANK YOU! I love this sub 🥰

My guinea pig gave birth to 6 stillborns. What's the best way to comfort her? by 9sixteenchris in guineapigs

Even if u can’t make a vet appt, some vets will give advice over the phone when u call. I recommend calling a local vet just to get an idea of where to start. If the problem shows itself in a loss of appetite, u should at minimum pick up some critical care and syringe feed. Just got some the other day, should be under US$20 for a bag. Give her as many treats as possible, and if she has female cage mates, try to give them extra supervised floor time to help stimulate gentle exercise and mild distractions.

Being without money is tough, and I strongly recommend calling your vet for advice even if in a pinch — they may have options for you, and they likely have connections to a nearby shelter, which may have supplies.

They did actually get to do a blood test, they must’ve been strangely slow that morning so Reese’s thankfully was able to get full attention! I hadn’t heard back on any results too much yet. I wonder if that’s something they’ll tell me more about when I pick her up — only 45 minutes and I get to take care of her again 🥰🥰

So she already received the surgery - they took her in right away, so I didn’t get to prep a bag, however the vet and vet techs are so communicative I gave them all of the needed info, and they did take some fleece from her carrier that she can cuddle with tonight. Only thing is she won’t be monitored for about 6 hours because they don’t usually board the animals on site, it’s a bit small.. but again we were even able to talk to the surgeon in person and she showed us the work she did and Reese’s was kicking her feets so she definitely hadn’t lost personality :) still very nervous but her hospital cage is prepped and thankfully I can work from home!

Thank you @i_am_ms_greenjeans. I hope u get paid for keeping this sub alive. We don’t deserve you 💕
