That's wonderful he's wheeking at night again! I wonder if what ever happened that spooked him happened in the morning, and he associates that time of day with it? Has there been any kind of...

I thought I'd share with my fellow piggy lovers --- I recently opened my own etsy shop, where I make pendants with my own art... and I have two guinea pig ones! I also make cards and wool needlefelt...

What gorgeous piggies! Despite the surprise I'm so glad you could save Marigold and her babies, and give them such a caring home. Marigold looks almost exactly like my Robin Hood :love:

So true...Friar Tuck was such a special soul, but new furry souls always find a way into your heart, in their own different ways <3

That's how we are, now...I still have Robin Hood, and except for him we might take a break from piggies for a while. But I still couldn't imagine life completely without them. Robin Hood has the...

I just wanted to thank everyone for your heartfelt words, it means a lot. So hard at first, but holding on to the happy memories and healing, staying busy and spending time with our other fur babies....

I'm still reeling as well,I thought we were winning the battle--- that we had won it. But later last night and this morning I knew something was more badly wrong. He was really weak, his weight had...

We lost our fight today, we know what it was and it wasn't fixable.... Friar Tuck got his wings today. I'll update more when I'm up to it.

Thank you so much, Kelsie <3

Yes, he's back on four times a day critcal care feedings and pedialyte. Luckily he's eating it really well, instead of fighting to get enough in him he's happily eating it. He's been out nibbling a...

We have an appointment tomorrow at 2:30, earliest we could get. Thanks for all the support and other piggies cheering for Friar Tuck <3

There's still some clear tears coming from his right eye...

The bump in the road has turned into another mountain...I think there's something wrong with his teeth; something over grown. His incisors look off to me, I don't think they're lined up:

So Friar Tuck didn't have the best day today... this morning he wouldn't eat anything. So we got the critcal care back out and gave him lot, which he took pretty willingly. I mixed about a 1/4...

bpatters, yesterday he ate healthy food much better, especially his pellets!

Honestly I think he is getting a bit spoiled like a kid with candy; when he was really sick I'd let him have anything...

Thank you SO much Guinea Pig Papa!

I've only been weighing him once a day now, but there were still swings worrying me. The week to week perspective really helps! There's only been about a 20g...

Sorry it's been a few days since an update, there's kind of been a mix of things to make sense of...

Good news is, Friar Tuck's feet are almost completely better! Old skin is almost gone and new...

Thank you ItsaZoo!! That's what I've been thinking...and Friar Tuck is still doing awesome today!

Friar Tuck's weight is all the way up to 995g today!! This morning he had emptied his pellet bowl overnight, and munching everything all day long.

His feet are looking SO much better...the...

Feet are looking even better!!! Just barely barely red, he's still eating like a piggy, and weight is hovering around 960-970g.

This link shows all the roans and agoutis really well for comparing your piggies to: https://malibucavies.webs.com/photosallcavybreeds.htm

What gorgeous piggies!!! I love their colors.

Their breed is both American... Coco has what looks like a Harlequin mix pattern, with roan (I think chocolate roan) coloring. You hardly ever see...

Friar Tuck's feet are definitely less red today! And this is only after 1 day of the silver sulfadiazine. I'm doing the thin coconut oil coat over it once it soaks in, too. I'm spot cleaning his...

We got the silver sulfadiazine, and applied it after tonight's epsom salt soak. His feet are definitely slightly better! but not healed yet.

We can get the vetricyn tomorrow, so having the silver...

Thank you so much Smileandnod and bpatters!

We should be able to get silver sulfadiazine prescription called in today, and vetricyn is at our local pet store and tractor supply!! I really like how...

We've been doing the Epsom salt soaks, and it definitely isn't worse, but not much better. I'm thinking it might be urine scald more than bumblefoot?

He's still eating normally and doing really...
