Pet Forum / Mammals / Guinea Pigs / January 2005

Just when we are wrestling with the abscess at the neutering incision site
on Prince, one of our females, Panda, developed a case of mastitis.  First
clear fluid then blood could be expressed.  She is now on the same meds that
Prince is on.

Well the good news bit is that Nosey is now seven years old.
The bad bit is that he is not well. I have had to clip his back teeth every 3
weeks or so, for the last 2 years (he broke his front teeth just before Xmas

I seem to have lost it...thanks in advance :)

baby butterscotch used to do it all the time.  five months later and it
doesn't happen anymore?  do they stop as they get older?

I know GPs get extremely bored and lonely.  What kind of Toys do you all
like to give your Guineas.  Missy has several chew sticks, but she still
likes to knaw on her cage instead.  We don't like this habit and are afraid
she is going to harm herself.  Since we both work she is ...

Howdy folks!
Cocoa has a new friend!
We've been pondering what to do to pull Cocoa out of her depression since
her sister Butterscotch passed this past December.  Things had gotten better

Scooter loves a messed up blanket--his personal "private" playground--
To heck with Ma, the blanket's MINE!
When I make the bed, straightening the blanket---then he gives me
attention.

We picked up our two new boys yesterday.  They had just been neutered and
were groggy.
I bought a new pool (they went up to $17 CDN from $15 by the way at Canadian

8 weeks ago, we bought a guinea pig, who was about 10 weeks old.  She was
