He is fixed, so I moved him with the girls. And I understand they are trying to help, but don´t you think @
bpatters was being just a little rude?
Thank you again.
No, I think @bpatters was motivating you to do what you needed to do. We cannot, although we would like to, provide veterinarian care for your guinea pig virtually. Injuries require an immediate call to your veterinarian. You did eventually (and I am glad you did so!!), but honestly it was not your first choice to do on your own, therefore @bpatters gave you that firm reminder you needed.
At this time, your focus should be on how Smores is feeling and coping with a painful ripped ear and thanking @bpatters for the reminder to call the vet, rather than how you feel slighted by what you perceive her tone to be towards you. Basically, focus your energy on Smores rather than yourself right now, he needs that. Also, think about all the times @bpatters has probably seen an injury such as this on this forum over the years and is helpless to assist the injured guinea pig from afar while the owner puts off getting the proper care from a vet or makes excuses. It is clear she loves guinea pigs otherwise she wouldn't be doing this, so to see one injured can't be easy.
While this forum cannot provide veterinarian care for an injury such as this, it can offer you valuable information to help you create an environment for your guinea pigs where fights resulting in injuries are less likely. So I hope you continue to use the forum and learn from it.
Some things to consider:
Is your cage big enough?
Are there places where guinea pigs can get trapped such as single entry hideys, too narrow lofts, or single ramp second floors?
Do you have enough water bowls? Hay piles? Bowls of Pellets?
Are the males right next to the females which would escalate their fights for dominance due to hormonal urges?
Do you have fleece forests or similar to block lines of sight to ease tensions?
Have you considered making your cage wider? I have found that making a cage 3 grids wide makes a huge difference in keeping the peace as well as having a large second floor (more than 2x2) with 2 ramps minimum.
Good luck to you & Smores! Please let us know how he is doing after the vet appointment and keep us updated.
