So just taken one of our guinea pigs to the emergency vets as really wasn’t very well, not eating, laying on side and wheezing. Noticed him a little off yesterday but he really went down hill suddenly today and so has been put to sleep.
We obviously had 2 and thjnk they are about 5 years old. We have had them 2.5 years and the rescue thought they were about 2 or so when we got them.
Really don’t know what to do about the remaining one. We don’t any to get into a perpetual cycle of getting a younger pig to bond. Our two boys would go through periods of fighting and having to have the cage sectioned off for a couple of days so not sure wether we would be able to successfully bond out remaining one anyway. Don’t really want to give him away but I suppose if that’s what’s needed we will have to. I’m hoping that he may be ok on his own as getting older and like I said didn’t have a close bond with the other one (they were rescued from a nursery, so we’re kept together)
