New Born Pup
Hi everyone. I had 2 piggies up until recently. Coco my neutered male and Ginger my little female. Both under a year of age. Ginger started getting a cloudy eye and losing weight. I though maybe a Hay Poke but it didn't explain the listlessness and weight loss. I took her to the vet who checked her eye and said it was not a hay poke. We started her on antibiotics but she didn't improve at all and 3 days later she died. I have no idea what she died of. Coco the male is in perfect health. I was so saddened by the loss of Ginger that I decided not to get Coco a new friend. But I don't know if it's my imagination or if he is feeling lonely. I want Coco to be happy and I'm wondering what you guys think about this. Do you think a Guinea Pig can be happy living alone? If not...I'm worried about introducing a male in case they don't get along and since he's neutered if you think getting a female is a better idea. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
