rant

Hiya, posting here since it's not an emergency anymore. So, as you know we recently lost Geezer, so I'm ultra paranoid about Rutto while we wait for his surgery. We came back from my mother in law's around 5.30pm, a couple hours later I was lying on the sofa with a massive headache from sitting...

Hi everyone, I can't believe the bad luck with this piggy! We've been battling bladder stones and sludge since february almost non-stop, at least it appears that last friday he peed out the last sliver that was causing him bloody pee (x-ray shows no more stones or sludge). So a huge thank you...

So Penelope recently went and got her back molars filed. Everything’s been great but her pee has started smelling weird again. She had blood in her pee 6 months ago and antibiotics cured it up. However her pee has started smelling again, suspect a uti. The vet seems concerned that there may be a...

Seems like everyone of my pets is giving me a little moment during lockdown. First Bigwig (who is still with us bless him and seen a vet so got some answers now thank god), Steve with a minor case of bloat which he's had before (was all fluid), my new dog (vomited 8X in span of 15 mins) and my...

Hi everyone This forum is great because it makes me feel part of a community and not alone or crazy because I love my pigs so much. Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck this year and have been back and fourth to the vet lots. I have lost one, another had a lump removed, one had an inner ear...

Hi everyone I just have to get this off my chest-it’s a bit of a rant but it really upset me. I was at a family dinner and was talking to my uncle who asked me whether I miss my two guinea pis who have recently died. I replied of course. He then started to laugh and make fun of me which really...

Hi! I have 6 beautiful guinea pigs and they are practically my life. I am constantly buying them toys/treats, taking photos of them, cuddling them, playing with them. I love them so much! I am currently building and sewing them some hammocks and hammock holders. Unfortunately some of my family...

"I know all of you think my little brother Steve is cute and can probably do no wrong but I'm here to prove otherwise! Steve is soooooo naughty! Pigmum gave us a paper bag today to play with and within a few minutes Steve had tolieted in it! I don't know why he does it. I've tried to show him...

I'm on a hamster forum as well as someone posted a question on how to get guinea pigs used to be handled. I replied and happened to say that with my newest Guinea Pigs I had to handle them daily to give medical care, Anya's medicine twice a day and also wounds needed washing twice a day for...

Sigh. This past few weeks I've been asked several questions about pregnant sows and baby pigs (and other general pig care questions) by a few people, only to discover the majority haven't listened at all. Fathers to be board are still being kept with heavily pregnant sows (sometimes...
