The life of Dot and Bernie

Be careful when you do. You don't want to rupture any stitches.

Glad all went well.
Give yourself time to recover- don’t try to rush things.

Thanks. I'm trying not to, its difficult , i feel like a grotty mess just laying about haha

 

[PigglePuggle]

Glad the op went well! But do take it easy, hernias pop right out again if you strain your stitches! Ollie pig says take his advice and chillax a bit but maybe dont take it too far and fall asleep face down on the floor in a pile of your own poops by an empty plate waiting for the next meal because Mrs SkyPipDotBernie may take exception to that

 

[DMS260820]

Il take your advice Ollie boy. Thankyou little lad, il try not to sleep in my own poo

 

[Bill & Ted]

Haha, yes just take it easy for a while!

I'm glad my mother in law has had guinea pigs and loves them. She is helping us clean them out and get supplies.

Hers lived to 8 and 9 back in th 90's . Were probably healthier pigs about back then. But still

I'm glad the op went well. Take care xx

Got a video of Casper uploading to youtube right now . He is showing how cardboard should be destroyed. He is my gerbil that fell victim to his brothers attack a few months ago. Here is a pic of the damage, sorry if it is not nice to see but i want to show the difference now. This is the mild attack that happened the first time, i thought it was a one off. I didnt take pics of the 2nd attack,he needed my help too much to bother taking photos.

They have been split now and live seperate lives.View attachment 115129

Thanks. He recovered completely by himself aswell. I had antibiotics, but its near on impossible to force feed a gerbil. So he lived on porridge oats and shelled pumpkin seeds, until his strength came back

 

[5StarPigs]

Thats interesting! And i imagine how hard it would be to force feed a gerbil lol.

He’s looking brilliant! Bless him.
Yeah trying to give my dwarf hamster meds years ago was definitely an experience! Would rather deal with naughty Pedro and that’s saying something!

If they dont like it they grab the syringe and push it out the way dont they. And they obv have smaller mouths

 

[alpacasqueak]

My ratties were far better but obviously a bit porkier (600-700g), more of them to hold than these teeny ones that fight you and the syringe!

 

[DMS260820]

How strange. All this good stuff about Casper, and ive just found him cold, eyes closed and dying

 

[Bill & Ted]

He is sure enjoying his cardboard! gerbils are so cute x

I am so sorry to hear that @SkyPipDotBernie sending you and your wife hugs, you must be devastated.

Yea we are. But they all seem to go like this. In the video, you can see how he pauses yo catch his breath. I thought something was up yesterday

 

[5StarPigs]

Oh I'm so sorry.... he lived a good life with you.
