The Beastie Boys

As he's had several infections in his short life, the vet was asking about his diet last time we were there. I was totally honest about amounts, treats etc and she was happy that his diet didn't need to be altered. I think maybe he needs a longer course of antibiotics. I'm really hoping it's just another infection and nothing worse.
My poor boy, it breaks my heart to hear him whimper like that. He smells of wee too which is totally out of character for my fastidious little man. He's sleeping now, looking very comfortable so the metacam must have kicked in.
 
Yes, your vet knows best. Good that he is more comfortable now ❤️
 
Poor Sir George. Hope you can fitted in with the vet quickly.

Micah’s poops were usually much larger than the girls and he was neutered.
I think it’s a boar thing 😅
 
Unfortunately we are committed to being out tomorrow and can't cancel but I'll see about getting him an appointment for Tuesday. Cage clean and health check in a minute, late because I let him sleep, I'll have a good look at his undercarriage in case he's got a sperm rod.
 
So far this morning Sir George has been his usual self. Popcorning around the cage when I went in this morning. I gave him some more metacam and glucosamine. I'm hoping I've caught it early enough that he won't need antibiotics.
Obviously I'll take him to get checked out if he still seems to need it but I'm loathe to take him as it's a 40min drive and the weather isn't exactly lovely.
 
Oh my lovely boy!
Master Boris was trying to get a bit of Sir George's lettuce from the other side of the bars. Sir George saw and, bless him, posted it through. Then did a cage circuit of popcorn before resuming his own meal.
He's definitely not a proper guinea pig!

Thats soooo sweet. 💙
Come teach my boys some manners please. 🤣
 
Some pigs are empathetic and some are not.

Minerva will happily leap on top of something to get a snack but Gaia won't no matter how much she wants the snack. Seeing Gaia staring longingly at the snack is enough to make Minerva feel sorry for her and she'll usually nudge some over so Gaia can reach it.

But if Gaia gets to some food first she'll usually sploot down on top of it, covering most of it so Minerva can't have it. 🙄
 
Miriam usually eats her lettuce leaf at high speed in the morning.
Moses is much slower and easily distracted by fresh hay, pellets, Miriam coming close and requiring rumbles.
Poor boy doesn’t stand a chance - Miriam grabs and finishes his leaf as a bemused boy wonders what happened 😅
 
Master Boris was having a lovely nap right next to the divider. Sir George ambled over, watched him for a minute then prodded his bum. This woke him up with a shock. While he was sitting there looking rather disgruntled I swear Sir George was laughing! He came to the front of the cage with a big smile then was doing loads of little pops.
Hubby and I were in absolute fits of laughter.
 
Master Boris is off colour, saw the vet today who found nothing wrong. We got concerned because he is sleeping a lot more than usual and seems very subdued. He's showing no signs of being in pain, peeing, pooing, eating and drinking ok and no weight loss. He's actually put some weight on. His teeth checked out fine too. He's got some metacam for a few days to see if it perks him up. Sir George seems to be trying to look after him, he is staying as close as possible next to the divider.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
