Hello Everyone!
My adult guinea pig gave birth to her first litter 2 weeks ago. She had 3 pups. However, there is one, a sow maybe, that looks kinda like she would be a lethal. She didn't drink much milk from the mom and has this strange behaviour where she latches to the mothers neck instead of nipple. I have tried several times to put them alone and have guide the little pup to find the nipple but it doesn't work. So even though she started to eat hay quite fast, I am giving her some pet milk. She has her teeth intact, she doesn't seem completely deaf but her reactions may be slower than the other pups while exposed to noises. She is definitely not blind and both her eyes look ok, for me at least. Also, she has a super big bald spot on her head. Bigger than I have ever seen. But she was born like this. Her hair was a little strange too. Very spare and kinda silvery super fine. The eyes might be a little smaller than her brothers' but not that much different. This is my first time having guinea pig pups. Also, because of the area where I live, finding a vet who would look at my pups has been very difficult. So really going to a vet is not possible at the moment until I find someone who would be willing to see them.
Here are some pics of my pups,
Sorry for the pics but for some reason I can't straight them. Any input will be greatly apreciated! Thanks!!!!
