Dr Jenny from Hand n Paw not really sure is she still working there or not...the last time I make appointment with her on weekend and then she said u come on Sat but when I am there she is not there and she actually move to another place and all the way from Wangsa Maju brought my piggies to see her and this happen. End up brought them to Dr Yeoh again no appointment and he went to Penang so met up with a young vet not bad he also give vit c to my gps...now they are fine already.

My gps mite was cured by Dr Jenny really grateful to her but I heard that she is not feeling well so anything need to make appointment with her she got a few vets to run so difficult to meet up with her....I think u try on Dr jenny first if cant get her then Dr Yeoh. Pls go to vet faster as eye infection can caused serious illness...gp pig even they are in pain their cutie face still tat cute..no expression of pain in their cute face...so pls dun drag any longer the longer u drag the more suffer and painful they are...

I normally email her first. and 2 days before going will email her again smile.gif
she now have a fix schedule for each clinic. I choose hand n paws because it is nearest to my house.

You can bath them with vinegar plus water. It done the job for me. When you bath them, then you need to change the whole bedding again so they will have a new bedding without mites egg/mites in it smile.gif

thx for the info on cage cleaning, but i not using dog cage style. quite leceh if use paper base.

my nearer pet shop recommend me to use wood pellet.
1st type = absorb liquid and expand, then just scoop it and throw away
2nd type = absorb liquid and become powder, then just scoop it and throw away

anyone using this kind of bedding?
*

Here you go..
http://www.woodypet.com/horse.html

It is actually for horses. tongue.gif
but many people use it for small animal too because it is made from 100% Biodegradable Sterile Wood Fiber
But I only use it in the toilet area ya. not the whole cage. My other area covered with fleece smile.gif

I buy mine at PLC, one small bag is rm18. one whole BIG packet is...not sure this evening after work will go buy them oxbow so will check around.

QUOTE(GP mad man @ Jul 5 2012, 10:14 AM)
it is in light brown (wood color) and looks same as the pellet that feed ur babies.
just it is made from wood, and yeah it is safe to be chewed.
this is what the pet shop owner told me

there are 2 types of wood pellet:
1st type = absorb liquid and expand, then just scoop it and throw away
2nd type = absorb liquid and become powder, then just scoop it and throw away

(correct me if wrong)
*
woody pet pellet is the 2nd type smile.gif
I never try wood pellet that expend before but I did try paper bedding. they do expend and control the smell.

QUOTE(Jaroque @ Jul 13 2012, 12:11 PM)
meaning wht ya? they shit hair? This usually means they barbering themselves or other guinea pigs...and then it shit out back the hair...haha

This normally happen to the male especially the long hair guinea pig. They will drag their bum and all the fur can go in. I normally perform the checking and squeeze all the fur and make sure the bum area is clean.

you can use this method smile.gif

Normally I will cut the butt area short so it will be easier to clean/ bath them later smile.gif

so yesterday i play with them i notice AH P got hair stuck inside the bumm.. then i try to clean it.. then i keep on pulling out few hair out of it.. damn deep .. keep on pulling it out  sweat.gif  sweat.gif 

1st time experience this biggrin.gif

http://www.guinealynx.info/impaction.html  shocking.gif  shocking.gif

mean need to korek deep deep inside?? and what is the black black things  rclxub.gif
*
lol. Impaction is for old boars normally 5 years and above. Their ability to push the poo is weakens so we need to help them.
I also didn't dare to korek deep deep. blink.gif

Normally I will just pull out the hair and make sure the area is clean. I will squeeze a bit. Normally my Luffy will poo and no more foreign thing come out together with the poo then he is good to go tongue.gif
