Thanks everyone

Hey everyone. Sad news :( Oreo passed away this afternoon. I received a all from the vet this morning letting me know he was not doing very well. He would not eat. They tried to give him regular critical care and when he would not take that they tried the fine grind as well. I have never...

So i just found this on the floor by his cage. It's hard but can be scraped and produce a "dust". It could be nothing but its definitely not a rock from outside. I vacuumed that entire room well on Saturday and after he did have floor time that evening and for a bit yesterday... It's...

Sounds like a curse of the Oreos! What an unfortunate coincidence! How did you Oreo fair?

The vet never called again tonight. I have a list of questions to ask her including if they did another x-ray. Thank you for your kind words and advice. You have certainly made me feel a lot better about this situation.

@Paula I believe they are staffed overnight because they said he needed to be watched. I know that they do close at 8pm for normal business hours. I am still hopeful that the vet will call again before she leaves to update me and I have a few questions. I would like to know if the stone is in...

So I have an update on Oreo. I dropped him off for surgery 8am. Around 3:30pm I got a call from the vet tech saying they were in the middle of surgery and would I like them to neuter him while they have him open and under. Oreo is a solo guy and if I were to get him a housemate in the future...

Thanks everyone! Ill update post surgery tomorrow!

@lunarminx thank you for the offer, that is very kind of you! I think we will be okay. He is not eating any pellets right now. Just timothy hay, green pepper, cucumber, organic spring mix, and 1 1/2 syringes of critical care 3x a day. It's a wide syringe (not sure how many cc's) . Surgery...

I will definitely ask the vet a about the subcues Paula. It seems like ever since i started using the syringes for medicine he wont touch the water bottle. Maybe he thinks its another syringe. Another think I am curious about is... A few minute ago I had him out on the floor and I was laying...

No he really isn't drinking water. I did give him organic spring mix also earlier and I make it really wet so he got some water that way and I did the same with the pepper and cucumber. The vet said he make not drink a lot while feeding him the critical care and because they injected fluids...

Thanks for responding Paula! I have him on metacam once daily. I gave it to him this morning. I am certain he is peeing, I just changed his fleece and since I had had him in there after feeding and all the noises there are several wet spots. He seems to have calmed down now. It was like the...

So I'm kinda freaking out... Oreo has seemed to be fine most of the day. I gave all medication as directed and I hand fed him critical care 3 times. I noticed he is peeing blood again this evening, and after this last hand feeding of critical care he is making lots of noises. I know it must...

I am looking forward to the delivery which is estimated to be July 15th

I found huge pieces of coroplast at my local homedepot for about $11

@lunarminx what is a fleece forest?

Thanks for the clarification... how sneaky of them to list it as limestone on one label and calcium carbonate on another! I should have paid more attention in science class! I just ordered a 10lb bag and it cost $30.60. Now I have about 15lbs of pellets that are useless... and a bag or...

@bpatters I have looked at the total costs of pellets plus shipping. The pellets are $25 for a 10lb bucket and and $25 to ship. So it comes out to be $5 per pound. A 10lb bag of Oxbow essential cavy cuisine is less then $20 at my local pet store (not a big box store like petsmart) so approx $2...

I used warm water and my guy was fine, he didnt seem bothered at all and had a big gray yucky plug. I had never cleaned his anal sac before until last Sunday. To be honest I did not even know it existed! I always thought people were referring to the grease gland! I always wondered why every...

The pellets will be a very small serving,1 tablespoon daily if he chooses to eat them. I cannot afford KleenMama's pellets or their hay. They are located on the other side of the country and the shipping is absolutely outrageous. I have already spent $300 in the past week on vet visits and...
