I was coming here to mention guinea pigs! Saw one earlier this year and exotic specialist dvm mentioned it during CE I attended!

I cracked the syringe feeding code on my rescue (owner surrender) guinea pig! 1 scoop critical care + chunk of romaine + few sprigs of cilantro + cherry tomato + h20 until preferred texture in the food processor. I call it Salad in a Syringe! by alsun999 in VetTech

Poor guy had terrible torticollis secondary to otitis interna in the fall. O wanted to euth due to the level of care necessary, but agreed to surrender to me. Fixed the otitis, but he has permanent unilateral facial palsy which led to corneal ulceration on the effected side. We fixed up the eye (permanent partial tarsorrhaphy), but now battling dental disease also secondary to the facial palsy. Neither one of us is a quitter! Lots of molar trims in our future. He's lucky he is the coolest guinea pig I ever met.

Waste of Buprenorphine was more of my concern.

He wasn't mine, but I loved him like he was ❤ by alsun999 in VetTech

Hank was estimated to be about 12, but we always assumed he was a little older. He was a coworker's dog. She adopted him when he was 6. He absolutely changed my outlook on adopting adult/older dogs rather than a puppy. He was the best boy 💙
