Not sure what to do...

[JLC1113]

Ok here is the situation. My husband and I bought our son a guinea pig at a local pet store. When we first saw them they were all in the same closed in area, males & females! I told my husband right in front of the employee that I wasn't too sure about getting one because it would be our luck we got a pregnant one. We let our son pick out the one he liked and he picked out a female. At the time the employee told us there is no way the females could get pregnant because they were all too young and they were not sexually mature. She was about 3 of 4 months, I think the lady said when we bought her, which was about a month ago! She is our first and only guinea pig as well.

Fast forward to now, we think she is pregnant. She has doubled in her size and weight in the past little while. She tries to eat everything in sight and she is drinking more water than normal. I was holding her today and gently put my hand to her side and felt something slide across my hand, so that is what is telling me she is pregnant!

I will not be able to get her into the Vet until the 24th or 25th, due to money. Even then I am hoping we can get her in! We were not expecting to have a pregnant guinea pig!!

My question(s) is what can we do for her in the mean time to make her more comfortable? I have read a few things online and I am very concerned that if she is something will happen to her during the birth or after. I would hate for anything to happen to her. Any advice that anyone can give me will be appreciated so very much!!

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I also want to go back to the Pet Store to complain but not sure if it would do any good...
