Teenage Guinea Pig
Hey guys,
I just gave my only long haired piggie her first bath because she really smelt awful and was getting a bit matty even with being brushed daily. She was really good in the bath and didn't make a fuss, i cuddle her in a towel to get most of the water from her fur/hair, i also swapped to a dry towel and gave a her gentle rub.
I then started to blow dry her making sure the temperature wasn't too hot and kept my hand between her and the blow but she got really upset after a while and was really squeaking and making a horrid sound, so I've stopped because i felt awful and she made me cry. She's only a little dampish and she's in with her friend and they've got their dinner time veggies early as a treat...
I've put my heating on and the radiator in my room on full blast, will she be okay or should i try with the hair dryer again to get her completely dry I'm really worried?
Here she is having a little nap a few days ago...
