[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Pregnant sow

[joan fagalde]

Hi Joy.  Congratulations on your new fur baby.  I would recommend you get little Fanny Crosby back to the vet as soon as you can and have her checked out for pregnancy.  If she is she will need additional vitamin c (not in her water!) and calcium.  Alfalfa pellets at this stage are good for her 'till she delivers.
   
  I hope one of the meds your vet gave you is ivermectin as this will not hurt her or any babies she may be carrying but will get rid of her mites.  You didn't say wht else is wrong with her but definitely get her back to her vet.
   
  Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Some good news to share with all of you. I recently adopted a piggie. My 
sunday school teacher's nephew who is 5 gave it up because his parents felt 
that he was too young. Fanny "Crosby" as she is named by my father came to 
us on the 30th of last month. We rushed her to the vet upon arrival as she 
didn't look very good. She has some skin fungal infection, suspected ear 
mites as well. We have meds from the vet. However, I have noticed that the 
lower end of her body is rather heavy and fat and she has difficulty 
standing. Does anyone know the signs that your guinea pig is pregnant? I do 
know she used to live with another piggie, but I am not sure if the other 
piggie was a male. Fanny is quite young too, about less than a year old 
judging by her size. The vet didn't say anything though, so I'm not too 
sure. However, I didn't suspect anything until recently.

piggie help needed once again.
