Survivors Group Therapy

Hey survivors,

I've had five doses of my baytril and doxycycline, and my head is no longer tilted. I make a low purring sound when mom comes in my room at 11pm after work. I just know she's going to take me out to give me my meds and it makes me mad. That noise makes her feel bad because I associate her with bad things right now.

Mom can't afford the $840 CT scan so on the 25th I'm having X-rays. I wish I could have a CT scan. Maybe we'd find something. Doc couldn't even see traces of an ear infection with the naked eye, but we decided on antibiotics anyway.

I'm in my hide but I know next time she comes in I'm coming out for meds 😥. She's going to bring two syringes of critical care, she bought an extra syringe to get more in in one sitting.
Just keep on taking your meds, Stripe! Its not your mamas fault you have to take them, but we can bet shes in secret just loves to steal an extra kiss from you. Give her a popcorn!
Hope the x-rays can give some answers 💜

Survivors of a slave that worked around the clock this weekend. We survived because our other slaves was at home and OG-slave always yells at them they feed us to much. We're like what, go back to work!

Thanks, survivors!

Mom just got home from work and gave me my meds. I was a good boy and I had 20 ml of critical care in one sitting.

Chez wheeked the whole time I was on Mom's lap because he doesn't like her day shift. We're used to having her home.

I'm currently chutting, so things aren't so bad and I had a cookie.

Hi everyone,

Mom was a little worried I hadn't pooped until she moved my hide to get me out for meds. There was a huge pile and they were actually well formed, albeit a little small.

I'm currently under a huge pile of hay and I had 18 ml of critical care. In a couple hours we're having our cages cleaned and I'll get more.

I'm still munching on my own.

I can't wait to be well again and popcorn.

Mom's going to give me a sprig of coriander tomorrow then reintroduce veg. Slowly this time.

Off to the grocery store!

Hey survivors.

Well, meds weren't so bad this morning. I had some yummy critical care, 20 ml. I guess I wasn't really mad at mom because I popcorned when I got back in my cage!

Currently under a big pile of hay munching.

Mom had to lift my chin when I wouldn't take my meds!

Hope you are all well! Five more days of meds!
 
Hi guys.

Mom was excited today because my latest poops were well formed and a good size. So as I'm eating on my own, she thinks the 40 ml of critical care is good. I just love critical care.

I'm currently hay diving. Chutting, as well. She thought she saw me popcorn, but she wasn't sure. My secret.

Could I have lost weight off veg? Or do you think I ate less because of my ear infection?
 
Probably the ear infection. I'm suffering from possible ear or tooth infection which means that it sometimes hurts to chew on one side of my mouth. I sometimes need pellets to keep my weight up. I'm not usually allowed pellets and they're yummy! I do weigh less in the morning when I've not been allowed veggies the previous evening, but it quickly evens out. Your friend Ziggy.
 
Ziggy, I don't really like pellets. I only eat a couple. Mom's tried different brands, but I'm just not interested.

Hope you feel better!

Hi boys and girls!

This morning mom removed an empty hay bag and I started wheeking. She thought she saw me popcorn but wasn't sure. I had my meds and some critical care. Currently munching a digestive biscuit.

Chez is gnawing on a huge chunk of cucumber. He was so naughty for his health check yesterday, mom couldn't get a good look. She's going to try again Sunday.

I wanna gain weight and mom's going to try a new brand of pellets in the morning tomorrow. Yesterday I had 48 ml of critical care and I do eat hay on my own. But I've lost my taste for cookies.

Well, mom has to work all weekend! Tomorrow is a day shift so we'll miss her.
 
Oh dear, I hope your taste for cookies comes back soon. The digestive sounds a bit naughty but if you are feeling under the weather, you should indulge a bit 🍪 It's funny how guinea pigs don't like having their hay taken away. Truffle anc Polo start eating hay as fast as they can when I start cleaning, even pulling bits from the dustpan before it disappears. But they are pleased to get the fresh hay😄 Naughty Chez
 
The digestive biscuit is oxbow high fiber. Vet lady recommended it.

I did just eat a different kind of biscuit, too. Mom had stopped giving them to us because they are kind of junky but she thinks in small quantities I could benefit.
 
Dear survivors,

Chip here. My buddy Joe looks so cute and innocent with his white, fluffy fur. He's so adorable when he popcorns and zooms. I know. I've also been on the other side of the divider, and just wanted to make Joe my snugglebuggle.

Now I live with this little dude, I totally understand why Bob was such an airhead. Joe is like Hiroshima. He literally farts your brains out. Earlier this week he munched to much basil and slave put him off veggies for a day. That includes me, because I live with this fartbomb!

And then he has the guts to complain when slave gives him some bio-lapis for the tummy! Well, slave thinks that its some kind of two for one and I have to drink it to. The fact that I like it doesn't matter.

I survived this week. Joes tumny works perfect again (I can tell by the smell of his farts). I got my morning cucumber, ate it and got to bed again. Its a good Saturday to be a survivor on!

Yours truly, Chip

Hi everyone,

Good to see Chip survived the week and those wicked farts.

I just survived meds. I squeaked when slave tried to turn me around in my snuggle sack but then I ate my yummy critical care.

I now have three huge piles of hay to munch cause slave's going to work for ten hours.

I don't like the cookies mom bought anymore (she bought 3 boxes lol) but I like a junky cookie we have some left of.

Mom's going to the theater with an older man Wednesday and she's really hoping he doesn't think it's a date because he's kinda old. His wife is dead. He's from Germany and he's like 25 years older. So fingers crossed he's just looking for a friend!
