rabbit and cavies have slightly different nutritional needs..mainly vit C..cavies required more vitamin C coz they cannot produce thir own vitamin C so a good cavvy pellets would have fortified vitamin C to compensate..lack of Vitamin C will cause scurvi lead on to other problems..u can read in the net

my guinea pig is still very timid i offer to put her food in her hiding dome..should i continue to do that or do i put it outside so that she try to come out from her hiding place?I'm worried she wont eat..i play and cuddle her 15 mins 2 sessions a day

alright will try that..=) i guess i pamper my pets too much

are u all suggesting that i should remove the hiding place?

alright sifu *salute*

hahaha tat's so cute..i took out the hideout adi but the toilet i put the trasparent hideout..it's working she come out for food..hehehe..probably more comfident adi after few days..will continue bonding with her

just now i was cuddling my gp..i felt a lump under the jaw..suspected it was an abscess..then i took her to the vet so the dr did a biopsy and yes it is a abscess..so he drained the pus and now kimmi is on the road to recovery..thank god nothing serious

i realise also no one talk about it so i share with u guys..my gp case is smaller around pea size..under her chin looks similar but the fur is still intact..the vet just make a small opening and drain the pus out..then clean the wound..he gave me solutions to clean as well and antibiotics for kimmi to prevent recurrent while the wound is still fresh

sorry for ur lost..well the vet should at least biopsy the lump to see what is it right?maybe ur vet dun dare to handle gp
she is..i have to dress her wound and give her antibiotics everyday..i read on internet and even the Dr say it's common in GP..I'm going for follow up next week just to comfirm everything is ok

it's not a disease..it's an abscess..Dr say it might be from scratching or got hurt and then got infection.. humans also got abscess..is when it is when pus surrounded by a capsule..i read internet tat it may be from eating course hay..and then got splinter and further on infection..

wow..so many gps there..
didnt know u have so many..lol if i fall in love with more and more gps i also wont know how am i gonna let them go
