Penne was 6 months when I bought her from breeder that told us he was closing his farm. ( We found out later he decieved us). I didnt choose her but breeder recommended her. I believed him as she looked polite, neat and tidy.
She wasnt polite. The truth was she was unhealthy. I found out she was sick and needed intensive care. I sent her to one of the most famous exotic hospitals and paid expensive bills. Her back legs were unfunctioned from malnutrition. Her paws were injured from being raised on bar floor. At first she was also unable to eat so I needed to hand feed her throughout the day. She was unable to eat premium grade food as she had been fed poor pellet. I also had to changed many cages to match her conditions.
From being disabled now she can run quickly. Her face and shape chaged. She now looks like different guinea pig. She still think Im a monster. She doesnt want me to touch her even doesnt want me to get near. She stops all activities if Im walking towards the cage and keep running and hiding.
Recently I pet her, her eyes protude with fear as if Im going to kill her. She been with me for already 6 months and she has been taken out everyday to have eyes gum cleaned. (and it took 1-2 month that she had been hand fed everyday). I dont expect her to like me but that should be enough time that she at least feel familiar to me a bit. Plus I have to spend time with her more than my other lovely fur babies as she has many unpleasant behaviors. Vet assistant used to comment that she was weird too.
Im thinking to look for new owner for her. How would you guys advise me? Maybe a new owner should be better for her?
