At Friendly Farms we help homeless and abandoned animals, mostly guinea pigs and rabbits.
Tuesday was vet day this week. 🩺 Rex had his regular 3 week full dental under anesthesia. The abscess in his jaw has closed up again. Continue with the antibiotic and anti inflammatory and recheck in 3 weeks.
Little Margie-kins gave us a scare last week. She’s been on thyroid meds for a while now and is not as steady on her feet as she used to be, but then she suddenly had an acute attack of the wobbles and her eyes were darting back and forth. Ross ran her in to see the emergency vet. Nothing definitive was found and they put her on a steroid and some antibiotics.

Topper had her recheck. There is no sign of infection at this point. She needed a minor trim of her upper incisors and one molar, but all in all her teeth are wearing well after the extractions. Thankfully Topper was cooperative and Dr. Thomas was able to do the work without anesthesia. 🦷
Sprinkles has fur loss on her back. If it’s not a skin issue like ringworm or mites, it’s a sign of ovarian cysts in female guinea pigs. We scheduled a spay for her next week. ❤️🩹
Margie had a recheck with Dr. Eckerdt this week. She has stabilized and gained a little weight, so we are cautiously optimistic. Continue with the meds and recheck in 2 weeks. 🤎🐈⬛
