My guinea pig is sick since Sunday, and I have been busy hand feeding him with a syringe, and hand feeding him small pieces of fresh foods. EVERY 2-4 HOURS!!! “It’s not fun; it’s not funny.” (If you listen to Howard you’ll recognize that quote). Actually I’ve gotten better at the syringe thing and Piggy seems to be doing a bit better. He has an ear infection, so I also have to syringe the antibiotics every 12 hours. Then so he doesn’t get diarrhea, I give him a syringe of probiotics. At least he is eating some fresh foods like parsley, kale, swiss chard, but he doesn’t seem interested in his hay or dry food. I think the vet trimmed his teeth too short and that is why he is having trouble eating. First they were too long, now they are too goddamn short. I really lost my shit on Monday. I was completely stressed out. I’m a good animal nurse after I get used to dealing with it, but at first I always freak. In other news, the Arizona Republic took our picture at Gay Pride, and I’m happy to say that we make a lovely lesbian couple! I told Naomi that she has two mommies. As Naomi would say, she is gangsta! Work it biotch. Word. |
