PinkyandNaz
New Born Pup
Hello everyone. I joined this forum earlier this year, after I spent 3 beautiful years with my boys. I have two skinnies, one Pinky and one Nasim.
They both were diagnosed with ringworm back in October, and while it took them a while to recover, Nasim made a full recovery, Pinky tested neg. As well, but Pinky began to develop more sever health concerns afterwards, and it escalated quickly. I had to put my sweet baby Pinky down yesterday.
It was the first time doing this and I am heartbroken. Coming home and looking at Nasim alone in his cage breaks my heart ontop of everything else. They’ve been cage mates for 3.5 years havent spent a single night apart. Nas has been kept separate from pinky for for 3-4 days since he was so sick before he passed yesterday.
My friends, I really need your help. Ontop of grieving, I’m worried about my little guy Nas. He doesn’t really seek companionship in me, but I know he needs someone to snuggle with and eat next to and annoy hah.
What should I do? I’m a first time Guinea owner, and I’m doing this myself. I just feel so guilty I can’t spend every night and day with him. Breaks my heart.
Thank you all, I find this forum very supportive.
Also, I’m in the US. I was going to look into someone to take care of him with other guineas, who already dedicates their time to their pets, or look into fostering until he passes? But I fear there are no fostering opportunities around here.
What is some advice when looking for someone to take your guineas?
Thank you all so much
