Too Good To Be True

had to separate my female pair today after thinking I finally had found a friend for my semi aggressive sow she has attacked the poor female friend she had leaving her in a nasty way with a deep cut to her throat, front leg and back hip.. its a shame as they had been fine for 4 months and all of a sudden she wasn't happy and went for her.. ive taken the injured girl(the guinea pig in my photo) inside (shell be seeing a vet later today for medication) so I can keep an eye on her and keep the wound clean.. shes on fleece in a small 3ft cage next to my bed for now.. may just have to keep her inside so she can have lots of human interaction as she is very friendly but I have no one else to pair her with as my others are males.. so guess I'm her friend from now on.

Good that you have her seen by a vet! Poor girl! that must have shocked her to the core!

I would recommend to keep your problem girl as a single next door companion to other guinea pigs and to have her checked for ovarian cysts in case they are aggravating the problem. However after that, those two girls won't go back together or preferably never come close again if they can help it.

Naughty Blossom. I hope Jaffa cake is ok. Let us know what the vet says.
