Hi Everyone!

Kip finished his medicine this weekend and by yesterday was stuffy and
congested again :(  I took him to an exotic pet vet today, who turned
out to be British.  I'm not sure if he was educated at the cavy school
over there, but he certainly knew his stuff!  (His name is David
Chapman in case of you are wondering)

He gave me another prescription of Baytril (this time it's banana
flavored & it's a higher dosage) so I'm hoping it will help.  The vet
did say there's a chance he is allergic to the bedding or possibly
even hay, so I'm hoping the Baytril works.  He's on it for 2 weeks and
then we go back for a follow-up, so keep your fingers crossed for him!

And the vet has boarding for guinea pigs, so I won't have to worry
about them if I go away for an extended period of time :)
