    Hay Not happy with Small Pet Select, getting stingy.

    It probably would have been good hay if they hadn't compressed it. I could tell it wasn't in pieces before because the strands were all one piece in the box. Just there is no way to get it apart without it falling apart into tiny pieces and a lot more of it turning into dust than if it were...

    Hay Not happy with Small Pet Select, getting stingy.

    I didn't think it felt like 60 lbs either when I got it. Its crazy how small they got it. I didn't have a scale handy to actually weigh it though. Its like a huge ripoff for me. I didn't even get a guinea pig ring cause last time they gave away the guinea pig rings it was the day before I...

    Hay Not happy with Small Pet Select, getting stingy.

    I'm sure they just do it for the extra profit. If they are gonna ship compressed hay it should say so on the Ebay listing. Or they should let people choose how they want it. The compressed hay should be cheaper since they don't have to pay as much for shipping. I guess the compressed hay is...

    Hay Not happy with Small Pet Select, getting stingy.

    When I first ordered from them In April I ordered 60 Lbs. The hay was awesome, It lasted my 5 guinea pigs about 4 months. So I placed another order in July. Expecting it to be the same quality but it was not. It wasn't good. There was no weeds or anything in it but It looks they took a...

    Knowing what i know now. I should've been holding her every single day cause i could've caught it sooner. As soon as i saw how big the thing was i was so upset. But it must've developed in about a week. And it's very unlucky the timing it came. And a few things like... Knowing the right vet...

    She died right outta that first vets office yesterday. Whatever they did made her even worse, they said something about they were gonna empty out her poop. Than gave her a fluid injection and injections of baytril and metro stuff and she was dead within the hour.

    This was the only probiotic they had at the pet store i was at.Healtcare & Digestion for Rabbits & Bunnies: Peter's Rabbit ProBiotic Digestive Tract Conditioner I was thinking i'd mix a little bit into her critical care. The directions say to put it in 8 oz of water but i can't really do that...

    OK. So now that i started giving her the Critical Care she doesn't eat her hay. She'll eat a little romaine lettuce tho. Either she's full from the critical care, or she's depressed from being force fed. I'm gonna try getting some of that pumpkin stuff and the baby food to mix w/ it and...

    Yeah, the first vet i went to really gave me her medicine in a prescription bottle, like the kind that humans get their pills at the pharmacy. Def not the right kinda container for guinea pig liquid medicine. It had crusty stuff too but it totally grew white fungus. It was baytril.

    Thank you. I found a vet that wasn't too far and got her the critical care stuff yesterday. She also started eating and she's getting better. I gave her a little bit of the critical care today and she's eating ok now. I tried putting her in with her mom and sister but her mom pushed her...

    Thanks for saying that about the beneficial bacteria cause i didn't know. Nora is still barely eating so i'm going back to the vet to get her this stuff called oxbow "critical care" I can't find it anywhere around here. The vet is not close at all but i'm taking the drive for it since it's so...

    I think the dr. did a real good job. Nora's home, seperate from the others...eating all the lettuce she wants, she ate some pellets not moving much yet but it's only been a few hrs since the surgery. I think she'll be okay. It depends whichever the tumor is malignant or benign. The only way...

    Well i just called Dr. Laura Snyder from the vetco animal hospital where i took her in the first place. I asked her and she says she thinks it's an abscess and the best way to do it is by surgery. She says the skin is thick and it tends to come back otherwise.
