Hi Sammy, Not it's not that one, but thank you :).

There is a poem I read a while back, and I cannot remember the name of it. The poem was about why we love small animals like guinea pigs, hamster, etc, even though they have such short life spans. Why we give them such care and love, even though we know they will leave us soon. And in the...

Ok, so he seems to be doing better tonight. The vet took the nose culture, but won't have results for about a week. In the meantime he sent Nismo home with some nose drops and an oral antibiotic. His nose didn't bleed anymore, so that is good news. The bad news is that he has lost weight...

Ok, back to the vet Nismo goes :(. His little nose started bleeding a bit. It stopped, but he had blood all around his little nostrils. The humidifier and medication had worked for a while, and now he's back to his congestion. I am going to once again ask the vet if he thinks its a heart...

Awww they are insanely adorable. the first one, the first name that comes to mind is Oreo, because he looks like the cookie, with chocolate on the outside and the cream in the middle :)

Hi everyone, I was trying to find a thread about this but wasn't able to. If this isn't in the right board, please feel free to move it mods. I am trying to find a good website where I can buy supplies and toys for all my furballs. My pigs, as well as my rabbit and hamster. Its kind of...

Haha! These comics had me giggling, very cute. My Momo is the same at food time, but he doesn't chew, he will WHEEK like crazy until he actually had his teeth around some food.

Just wanted to give another update. Nismo is almost done with his doses of injections. It was kind of a pain in the rear because I was a big chicken and I ended up paying the nurses at the vets office to administer all 14 shots. But he only has 2 more to go, one tonight and one tomorrow...

I did ask the vet about the possiblity of a heart condition and gave him the information I got from you all. He told me that is one of many things that it could be, but that at this point he really didn't feel it was high on the list of possibilities, mainly because of what he heard when...

Ok so they are telling me they can help me and administer the injection for me for $6.25 per injection, so that would be an additional $75 for the remaining injections. Or they can try and do a nebulizer and administer it at home. The way she explained it its a thing where he basically...

Ok, so I'm starting to hyperventilate at the thought of giving my Nismo another shot, I just can't do it. I called and left a message for the vet to see if there is ANY way around me giving him shots. I know shots are probably best to get the antibiotics into him faster, but I feel like my...

Ok, so the vet wanted me to try an injectable antibiotic, and I am SOOO hating life :(. The nurse tried showing me how to do it yesterday. I tried first, and after 15 minutes I just could NOT do it. I have to find some skin on his side or thigh to pinch up, so I can stick the needle in...

I"m having problems with Guinea Lynx, does anyone have a link with information about Heart problems and symtoms?

I had forgotten your guys' suggestion about the heart problems, I'll ask the vet today when I pick up Nismo.

My boys do that if you rub them in the right spot. Nismo just goes to his side and sticks one leg out, Momo just flattens himself to the ground and then jumps up and runs when he's done being petted, LOL, he'll let me know when he doesn't like it anymore.

I just wanted to do another update. Nismo is still a sick little pig. Well, its hard to say that though because everything is mostly normal, he eats normal, plays normal, has actually gained weight. But the wheezing congested noise has not improved. He scared me last night when he was...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Well he has been seen by 2 different exotics vets already for the same issue, and neither of them has been able to figure it out. I think when I take him back in I will mention the possible heart issues, see if that rings a bell for them. I have...

Well I throw my hands up in the air, I guess I just have a sickly little pig. For the past year, Nismo has been so sickly, and he's had every test done under the sun by the vet, and they still can't find anything wrong with him!:expressio He's tried different antibiotics, we determined...

Well he already did the Xray, and he said everything inside my little guy looks perfectly normal. I'll ask him this time if he thinks it may have something to do with his heart. If it IS a heart condition, any ideas what happens next? Is it something that can be controlled with antobiotics...

Just want to review the recent events first. A couple months ago my Nismo started sounding kind of congested, like when a person has a stuffy nose. He was eating and playing fine, but the congestion sound started getting worse. So I took him to the vet, the vet at first thought Nismo could have...
