Sorry. I didn't really know where to put this - but it concerns guineas. A lot.
So, first the split of Emmy and Bailey. And Bailey got bummed after about a week, and Emmy was confused.
Then Emmy got hurt. And got soft tissue trauma. Any one remember Mocha? Exact same thing. $500 for Mocha, I'm a minor and had only rebuilt $70 of my vet fund since I lost Mocha. My mom's checked got screwed, so we had to open a go fund me, and managed to get her in the night after she'd fallen I believe.
But, she was untamed, untrained, and still very anti social. The only person she never ever had an anxiety attack with is my mom. I have multiple scars from her anxiety attacks, or her getting scared and jumping to me.
I, unfortunately, had to surrender her. Multiple people said it was right. I know the person I surrendered her to, I know the rescue she's going to when she's tamed. But that's not the worst part. I didn't get to say good bye...
Now Bailey. Oh Bailey. Since I brought her home, without Emmy, she's just not the same. She's barely eating (if that), she hides all the time (even if the dog lays next to her she won't move and she always gets excited for the dog, I found them sleeping through the bars once...), she doesn't come when I call anymore, and if I corner her she gets this scared look like I'm about to beat her... or worse (of course I wouldn't!!!).
I got her back two days ago. She ate lots at the pig sitter. Me? Nada. I double checked that she actually ate with her earlier, and she said yes. And she's virtually the only other person I trust with Bailey and Emmy.
I move back with my dad in about a week and half. I'll be getting her a friend then.
I really don't know what to do. I have about $120 give or take, and I can ask for a raise in one of my jobs if need be. I just really don't know what to do.
I could use some reassurance. Or at least some guidance.
Sorry it's long. But this has all happened in the span of two weeks...
