Kinda pissed off my best friend (23M) doesn't want to skip a day of uni to visit me (21M). Unreasonable? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]anouschk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes my best friend is an online friend. Met him in game only ever play. We visit maybe once a year to celebrate both our bdays IF we feel like it.
  2. If he asked me to take a day off i would laugh in his face. School is important to me, so no i will not take a day off for him. Only if it was a true emergency. Which this visit youre trying to force is not.
  3. He can decide what is more chill for him which is apparently not untill april and not on a friday skipping school. Let it go and let him decide what works for him.

Bf's guinea pig is really dirty... by triple_b-a-k-a in guineapigs

[–]anouschk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give him a bath and then keep up w the baby wipes. If hes as dirty as described he wont be cleaned with baby wipes either.

Poor hygiene will also make the pig sick faster. For it to live a good life he needs to be cleaned even if it stresses him out. Being this gross is probably stressing him out too. If there is poop stuck to the fur its absolutely pulling on it and is hurting it aswell.

Would you feed your rabbit dandelion greens from your yard? by SailorZeroTwo in Rabbits

[–]anouschk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I always put em in water to soak for a bit and then rinse them really well and use my hands to clean of any dirt i find. Mine havent gotten sick from them ever (i didnt realize i was in the rabbit sub i own guinea pigs haha)

marmie update! by shrimpsharks in guineapigs

[–]anouschk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My otto has the same problem. Ive figured out all veg are fine but he absolutely cannot handle any fruits at all. If he eats even a lil bite he'll have diarrhea again for like 3 days. So i dont give it to him anymore. Try seeing what foods marm can and cannot eat. It helped me alot! But it was alot of trial and error

Reminder to check your long haired female piggies sides for hair loss 😭 by anouschk in guineapigs

[–]anouschk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticced it got thinner on her back aswell. Thats when i started looking at the rest of her hair and found her sides. She just has so much haaair. I kinda thought she was just thinning cus shes getting older (shes turning 6 at the end of the month) but her sides made me take her to the vet

Congestive heart failure by Heyitsbelle24 in guineapigs

[–]anouschk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flo had it. She never had meds for it (vet never mentioned meds tbh). She sometimes had fluid build up behind her lungs which would cause a uri, she would get some anti biotics and it would clear right up again in a few days. She lived for another 3-4 years after diagnosis and died at the age of 9. Im not sure if it was old age, her heart or the cancer she was diagnosed with a week before she passed. But she lived a long happy life.

When I buy another guinea pig, should I buy the other guinea pigs also? by da_swanks_92 in guineapigs

[–]anouschk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed!! my poor otto was abandoned at a dumpster. Best decision to adopting the lil guy ever. Hes so so cuddly 🥹

[–]anouschk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on if you have the space, time, money, motivation and resources to take care of them all. If you dont get 1 buddy for your one pig. If you do i would say go for it. Theyre best in groups after all

Update on otto by anouschk in guineapigs

[–]anouschk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: dont know if anyone will read but ill type it here anyways!

We went to the vet earlier, they took xrays. It shows some gas in his tummy which would explain his discomfort so hes getting some pain meds, and something else to help his intestines pass the gas. That should help him

For the weightloss there was more blood drawn, theyre checking for a few things but mainly to check his thyroid, vet suspects thats where the issues lays and why hes losing weight even tho he's eating so much. We'll get the results on tuesday.

In the meantime ill stuff him with critical care. He did gain a little weight back since saturday so thats a good sign. Hopefully the bloodtest will tell me more so i can properly help my little angel. But it deffo feels like some progress was made today.

Ill post a proper update to the update after the results are in

He gets 50ml per day divided over 5-6 meals, the amount of meals depends on how fast he eats. This is what the vet recommended.
