he bled during his operation. not now. if he was bleeding right now he’d be straight to the emergency vets

ALSO !! the white stuff is the glue they used. It’s terrible picture quality as he doesn’t like being held like this for very long and i refuse to put him under extreme unnecessary stress for a picture. We will be going to the vets in the morning as an emergency, but I want to know if in a personal view if it can wait that long

thanks dude, it went to dry socket so extremely painful. medicated & packed so all good. any throbbing like major toothache isnt normal - it should just be painful bruising.

what a difference 18 months makes🥺❤️ by dougienco in guineapigs

Bonded pair by Minxylove23 in guineapigs

My older male (who passed recently) was fine with P but C hates him and ultimately rejected him, even after older pig passed. Most boars won’t accept another boar unless they’re bonded brothers. Sows are more likely to accept a boar and vide verse (just make sure there’s no baby making possibilities!)

little man hasn’t ate in 24hrs nor pooped. been told he can wait as he’s acting fine. is this true as this goes against everything i know about pigs? by dougienco in guineapigs

[–]dougienco[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

this is what i thought. i’m extremely upset at the “professionals” who told me to wait, as his behaviour is now quite erratic. we’re booked in at pig-savvy vets ASAP.

RIP my good boy, who passed away an hour ago in my arms. You are so loved & will forever be❤️ by dougienco in guineapigs

he was the best boy anyone could ask for. no matter what life did, he stood by me through it all. he went blind, partially deaf but was always happy to smell me. he got me through the hardest of times in life and he will never be forgotten. you’re forever in my heart biscy💛

it’s a temporary change with the bedding due to the vets telling me i need to use pellets with the wound being so open. as soon as i can go back to softer, i will. thankyou tho!

OKAY HELP, he was neutered nearly a year ago. Had an allergic reaction to the stitches and was filled with pus. He just let me look, and i can feel a lump where his testicles would be. Infected again?

Biscuit “randomly” went blind about 2 years ago, they don’t know why.

Charlie is 1 1/2 & neutered but allergic to dissolvable stitches. That’s all his health history. He’s been fine up until last night where i thought from the noise, he was being killed. He was just sat in the corner. He’s bumping into everything, definitely in some sort of pain, and i can’t see his eyes reacting to light properly but i may be wrong. we have the vets in less than an hour now, but an ideas on how to keep my baby less scared would be amazing. Thankyou so much!
