Junior Guinea Pig
Sorry I wasn't sure where to put the thread, more of a vent because no one can decide for me.
We lost our 3 year old Oscar on Saturday and I'm not coping at all trying to decide what to do for Wilbur, his buddy. Right now he's doing OK, in fact he's gained a little weight, though hes hiding more than usual. It's me who's not managing, I hear the slightest squeak or teeth chatter and I'm immediately having a panic attack, terrified he's sick. I really don't want to rehome him, I know rescues are full and he's got a nice home but I'm even more terrified to get more pigs who could also get sick and die suffering like Ozzy did. Right now the plan is to get him neutered so he can have a girl or two, we're calling the vet to make an appointment tommorow or Friday, but I'm struggling with it still so much.
