Both your cages open concept xiawa? Try not to move so far coz they interact vocally.. if really wanna add them together will need the cages to be side by side

Breed ： Abby

Price：　RM 40 at Ikano Power Center Pet Safari 

I buy one pair abby with my friend at Pet Safari 3 week ago,
but now both of them also suffering of fungus infection.
When buying we had noticed it,
but we thought we can clean it by antifungus cream.
And now become like this...

Added on April 20, 2009, 4:49 pmWhat problem of my guinea pig?
Is it fungus infection or lack of vitamin C? 
Already 3 days of treatment after come back from vet,
his problem still same...
Headache... 

This is actually considered a really bad case of fungal infection.. It could be ringworms too but ringworms are hardly found on GPs. I hope you dint simply apply human antifungal cream at first because not all human products are safe to be used on GPs.

Some prevention that could have been taken care of is through poor diet. Keeping the GPs surroundings not too dry, and not damp either can do a lot to prevent fungal infections from happening. Regular bathing with good moisturising shampoos and conditioners will maintain healthy coats, but it is important not to do this too often, monthly is fine, or you will strip too much of the natural oils from the coat. When its cold, be absolutely certain the pig is properly dry before returning him to an outdoor cage.

Which vet did you take it to? And what was it diagnosed with.. fungal or ringworms? If you have other GPs.. better seperate them asap! Also.. i think we mentioned before in the previous version of GP corner.. PET SAFARI SELLS THE WORST TREATED GPS!!! And the shop keepers are NOT furnish with the proper ways of taking care or treating piggies! You should have checked thoroughly of the GP before buying it..

bad news.. my GP, Chubby passed away yesterday morning ...

Nope, I didn't apply any antifungus cream on him after brought him back from Pet Safari,
but just one day I take him out and want cuddle with him I just found that "dandruff" on his right butt!
It so sudden and once I realized I bring him see vet immediately.

this does sounds bad...anyone reported pet safari? humm i bought nubby from pets wonderland...and so far so good...

Our SPCA here seems like only care about cats & dogs.

Yup i believe this is true.. They wont take action towards small animals.. Well there is however the Persatuan Pengguna.. tho i am not sure if they cover pets ><

I also looking for a peruvian or sheltie! 
but don't know where got sell...

Guinea Pig looks cute and sweet heart~ 
Wish you father will like it too...

Yes, if still not cure next week,
then I'll bring to Dr.J~
Thanks..

But what the vet told me,
if after two weeks it still not recovery,
then bring him back and she want to cut his skin and do examine on his skin.
and now just the fourth day being treatment of med.
This morning I helped my Latte clean it infection area and fed med as usual,
but I could see some little fur are growing up.

Wow, nice price!! 
For normal breed only... 

erm....i'm working at mid valley
after work i go the abby only left 6-7, sheltie also same
before i saw the abby they have more than 15, same to sheltie
the sad is no more peruv
verry fast haaa

xiawa, wanna ask, the yellow plastic cover is the same this we use for our toilet?

wont they got bumble feet because the hole is too big?
under you put newspaper? how long do you change them?
^^

bumblefeet caused by wired cage bottoms and especially those cages that bask in the sun. I use the same mats for my piggies. Its very soft on their feet.

Do u mean u put Mat, than Beeder celect, and than Newspaper or other way round? If u do like that how long u change 1 time?

Xiawa's way is a good way i know a few people doing the same thing too.. Another option.. which is less expensive, use the hay as bedding underneath the bathroom mats XD coz yea.. breeder celect is super expensive ahhaha and the cage is like soooo big =.=;

It should be:

From bottom of the cage floor:

1-- Newspaper
2-- Bedding (BC/Hay/Fleece)
3-- Bath mats

There is no direct contact between the GP and the newspaper.. no need to worry about fungus.. as long as you keep the cages clean. I also now use Germisep on all of my pets cages.. to avoid germs and protozoa etc etc..

U have to change the Nespaper within 2-4 days in order to prevent fungus.

Snowy has left us with no reason   I was cleaning their cage yesterday and all of them just like normal and after i done the cleaning i put them back to their cage and Snowy was going inside her dome and didnt come after that. I though she might be very tired and rest inside her dome. So i didnt go and kacau her until this morning, as usual when i checking them before i go to work. I didnt see Snowy came up and wheek me and i feel a weird. When i take off thier dome, i have found that she has left us. I have her body and i cant found any things wrong, no diarrhea,no bleeding on her body. She is as normal for the whole yesterday, totall no symptom at all. I think Snowy has die within 30 mins after i put them back to their cage because i saw both Jingle and Choco didnt went into their dome and rest but rest on the toilet bowl.

I cant really accept it and i dont understand what is the reason that cause her die.
Hope Snowy will RIP.

You are always in my mind and my heart
