 Re: Mikey
I am sorry to hear that your cavey was sick. But glad he is better. I wanted to share that I had a similar situation as a caution to others.
I purchased two guinea pigs cage mates from a petsmart and within one week of being in my home they became sick.
One a severe URI. I took her to a vet and she was placed on meds for the past several months. She succumbed to the infection this past Sunday, even after several attempts with meds.
The other developed cysts on her body which started as one and has progressed to 3. Again have been trying meds to resolve.
With the passing of one pig I may need to find another other VET or push for more aggressive meassures.
Well lessson learned I will never get a guinea pig or any other animal from a pet store again.
Now that I have found this site I may after rehabing my remaining pig consider adopting her a new companion. But not too soon! |
