I have two female guinea pigs, for over two years. In September of this year I became really ill for weeks and was subsequently diagnosed with adult onset asthma, it now transpires that I am totally allergic to the guineas too, before the asthma it was dealable with but now I cannot walk into the house without my chest becoming tight, starting to wheeze and having to use my inhaler. I cannot handle them any longer, changing them triggers a full blown asthma attack. In short I need to rehome them but wanted to explain why.
So at the moment they don't have a great life because they can't get out and run around, used to have free run of the flat pretty much and I can't even pick them up anymore .
Can anyone give me advice on where to go from here please? I am in London and want to do the right thing by them. They are well handled lovely girls, though one is more shy than the other. Can anyone recommend a rescue? Or just any thoughts at all please? I have been up since 4 thinking about this, hence my early post on a Sunday.
