I took the girls to the vet last Tuesday (I haven't been able to get on here since then) He gave all three shots of that Ivermectin (SP?) stuff. Even Lily the healthy one! And they started acting better almost as soon as we got them home! Poor Petunia had a seizure while he was giving her the shot so he got to see that. I didn't know we had a vet in our small town that did guinea pigs but the pet store lady clued me in. Anyway he and his family have had piggies so he knew alot about them. He'd never seen this though and brought out a stack of articles where he'd been reading up on it prior to us coming in. I always considered myself a good pig owner, I felt terrible when I realized how sick my girls were! But now they are wheeking squealing whistling and standing on hind legs begging for treats again! They have 2 more shots to go, and he gave me an awful smelling liquid of lime and sulfer to wash the coroplast in, along with their igloos. Which I did. Anything I didn't think would wash good got pitched in the trash. We have one more wash with the stinky stuff next week, then after the third shot should be back on track! I can't thank you all enough!! I would have felt awful if I'd lost the girls. Of course now that Petunia and Daisy feel better they're back to fussing with Lily on who will be alpha sow. I think because she had all those babies she feels like she is in charge, but Daisy has other ideas! And "Tunie" talks up a storm when you hold her like she's tattling on the other 2!!! I'm sure her conversation would be "I can't get any sleep when they fight and I haven't been well!!" Thanks and blessings to all who answered me! Love ya all! Jude
