Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue volunteer, Scotty, shows you how to prevent seizures in guinea pigs with mange. The most important thing is to wrap them up …
Guinea pigs are so dumb they’re good for Snake/Hawk food and nothing else. I’m sure most veterinarians care about any animal but a lot of them must be like ‘A guinea pig? Seriously? You want surgery on a tailless rat?’
I'm here for the….. 4th time i think. To see the improvements in Nails, you are an amazing care giver. Nails is a testament to your love, shiny, happy and full of sillies 🥰🥰🥰🥰
So question my Guinea has had monthly ish regular fits/seizures since we brought him home. Nothing to so with mites as no scabs, scratching or bleeding, been treated for that already and no difference. I have four pigs in the same room too and none of the others have these issues.
Fit description: Guinea pig will run in one direction blindly, hitting objects and walls in the process. He kind of thrashed around? His eyes will fill with the white cleaning fluid. When removed from the pen and he calms down the fitting will stop, but he becomes limp and unresponsive for a while, if I release him from being held he will just slowly walk forward and fall down.
Eventually he comes round after I make him drink some water and sit with him.
I've tried different foods and different vets, he drinks water and has no other issues
What benedryl is it? Im looking after.. Day 2 now, a guinea that was handed to me with mange mites. Benedryl must help but i dont know which it is im in New Zealand. Im going to make a wrap, and get some if possible.
My guinea pig i already have I had for 4 months had ear mites and then went to the vet and got treated for it and I got another one 17 days ago and has mites I think but it’s around his eye he’s going to the vet Friday and they are in the Midwest cage together but with the divider so the other guinea pig won’t touch his eye
Hey Scottie, Youre an awesome carer. The piggies in ur care are very lucky. It seems like little Nail's nails are pretty long and sharp. Is there a reason why it wasnt cut yet?
Hey Scotty, Can you please give us all an update on Nails. I havent been able to stop thinking about that sweet boy since i saw the rescue video.. Hoping he is feeling lots better. Huggles
Good Job Scotty…you have a wrapped.. oops I mean warped sense of humor lol. He looked so skinny unwrapped with his fur all compressed…😢. Poor baby! Your doing a great job though…keep up the good work.
Can we get some details about the medication. I have 5 piggies and I had to spend $120 to treat lice and I think the medication would have been cheaper. I'd like to know more about how to safely administer everything.
Yayyy did great !awww he’s giving ya kisses
Poor thing! 🥺
he is so damn cute!!!!!!!!!!

How long does the wrap stay on the guinea during recovery, im looking after a girl who was worse than nails, has been wrapped 1 month

he's beautiful and you're so sweet to him. Love it. He looks much better than the day before
Thank you for this, my Guinea pig has the same issue. I am starting the same treatment now. The vet is just too much money.
What does mange have to do with seizures
What a cutie! Glad hes doing better. I have to ask-are you vegan?
I love him, little lovely Nails
Working with vet wrap is an art. You did an amazing job! Nails looks so much better.

I think he’s gonna turn out to be a teddy guinea pig
Have you ever considered using fleece as bedding instead of pine shavings for nails? I've heard woods havings can contain mites etc. Just an idea 🙂
Good Job Scotty…you have a wrapped.. oops I mean warped sense of humor lol. He looked so skinny unwrapped with his fur all compressed…😢. Poor baby! Your doing a great job though…keep up the good work.
Just lovw when they lick us and then feel.the teeth.
