Behavior piggie meltdown

[skater1776]

So you had time to go to Tampa to the vet and get back home again between your post at 3:25 and your post at 4:04?? My, that's quick! You must have some very rapid transportation, or you live next door to the vet.

I doubt seriously that this pig is diabetic. I believe strongly that it may be malnourished because you are not feeding it properly. And I also believe that if you continue to let the female and the male pups interact at floortime, you're going to have more inbred babies.

I'd be willing to be that you don't have a clue what the roan gene does to guinea pig babies, nor how to take care of a lethal white baby should it born alive.

You need to step up and take care of the pigs you have without making excuses about it. Nothing less than a catastrophe outside of your control is sufficient reason for not feeding and caring for your pigs.

not tampa the one down the street

If that vet recommended yogurt for your pig, he knows nothing about guinea pigs. You're wasting money and endangering your pig's life by taking it to a dog and cat vet. They get very little, if any, training in exotic animal medicine while they're in veterinary school. If you can't afford an exotic vet, then you need to make plans to rehome your pigs to someone who does, and who will take care of them, not just cry when they get sick.

yougurt yummies a day

Edited by bpatters to add: Do NOT feed your pig anything with yogurt. Guinea pigs are lactose intolerant, and you'll only upset her digestive tract. She needs hay, pellets, and vegetables, and that's all.

bpatters its for G.P

timothy hay yogurt yummies 1-2 for G.P

I realize it's for the guinea pig. That's what I'm telling you -- the guinea pig can't have yogurt.

There are tons of products on the market that say they are for Guinea pigs, but they ARE NOT GOOD FOR THEM! They sell them to make a profit! PLEASE do not give them to her!

Are you feeding any long strand hay? What kind of pellets did you buy? Are they getting any veggies?

Please don't feed yogurt or any other pet store treats.
