Re: i-love-nev's piggys update thread!

Thanks! Another update -

Darwin - Got back about 6:55pm last night and the vet just said we did the right thing and he prescribed (I think) 2ml of Baytril a day (1ml twice a day). He is doing really well, hates my guts at the moment because I had to force some Baytril down him yesterday but we syring it into some cucumber today and he loved it. I just gave him the last dose of the day and he seemed quite happy, still a bit tender around his neck but he is normal otherwise. The vet said he thinks it may have been the boars fighting amongst themselves so we split them up. Basil and BB are still together but seperate from Nev and Darwin, Nev and Darwin are in the top level with a divider beetween them until Dar heals more.

Nevvy - Well we got Nev out this morning and noticed a cut on his back. We think that BB being old keeps hurting them. We cleaned it and put some anti-bacterial powder on it and phoned the vet. Because I had a hamster with wet-tail before christmas he gave me some Baytril so I told my mum to tell him that we have got some extra Baytril and he said to give him a dose daily (cant remember the dose, we got it written down somewhere though) so Nev is also on a bit of baytril. These guinea pigs dont let us rest do they? No wonder we are called " cavy slaves"

Basil - Basil is holding up good, fat little docile piggy as usual and is loving all the new stuff in his cage and the new fleece! He seems to me happier just having BB as a buddy now aswell.

BB - Billy is also doing well, he has relaxed a lot more not having the young'uns running around all the time and he has just a little bit of dry skin on his back so we got some tea-tree skin cream from the vets and it is really helping. And it smells so good! Lol.

Well thats it for now, I will be putting some update pics up soon I think but the cat is sitting biteing at my ankles to go play with him so Good Bye!
