Hello,
Around 2 weeks ago I rescued 2 piggies from a lady who didn't know how to care for them. (Not being catty- her words)
When I got them their nails were so long that they were spiraling... Also their fur was matted.
I took them home cut their nails and brushed them out and cut the matted pieces of hair... They seemed happy... But very skittish and shy. over time Winnie (yes, Winnie the guinea) has become more vocal and really loves his cucumber! However- Oreo (guess his colors ) Seems like his neck is weak? Off balance? My husband said he thought he was blind because he does this thing with his neck where he looks up and it looks like his neck is weak and "gives out"? He's a sweet boy and always let's you pick him up and hold him... I guess I'm wondering should I take him to the vet? Or is he just wonderfully different?
The lady from which I received the babies said she believes they were about 2 years old.
Advice?
Sorry this was much longer than I intended for it to be. It was my first post ever here... Had to give some back story.
Thank you!
