Well, It's been 2 days since Daryl got his first treatment and he is doing very well! His scabs are all disappearing and his underneath skin looks great! I was worried after getting him treated because someone showed me an article about Ivermectin overdoses and although I seen the vet apply literally 1 drop of the stuff on him it freaked me out but he is doing awesome! He is still playing and eating and running around so I know hes good! When I take him in for his second treatment I am going to ask the vet when it will be safe to put a friend in with him. I have been seeing a lot of people needing help with their little piggies and I feel bad for them and I responded to them all so let them know I will be happy to take them in once Daryl is ok'd to have a friend! I do have separate cages I could use now but I worry that they could still end up with the mites for some reason but once the vet gives me the ok I will be adding to my little piggy family! I knew I liked guinea pigs but I think I forgot just HOW MUCH I actually loved their cute little faces and adorable squeaks and squeals. Earlier I gave Daryl an apple stick I bought and he kept making his little noise. I wasn't sure if that meant he was happy or mad about it but it was cute either way. He is really enjoying his loft sleeping area! I fringed the opening and its so cute when he peeks his little head out to see what is going on. I love our little Daryl!
This picture doesn't show the fringes but that is his little loft bedroom. Notice how well his nose is healing! You can see hair starting to regrow in some little spots.
I always want to say I have been doing some guinea pig stalking on Twitter and on YouTube and OMG you guys have such amazing little piggies also. I think it would be awesome to have little guinea pig play dates :D Not that many of us have time for stuff like that especially after work and kids and grocery shopping and the usually everyday running we do but if I lived in a more populated area I would definitely start a little piggy meeting group!
Oh well, it is after 2 A.M. and I am dead tired so I am off to bed! Hope you guys are as happy as I am to see Daryl healing! Ahhh he's such a sweet piggy!
I hope u he continues his speedy recovery. My boys are keeping they paws crossed for him.
ReplyDeletethanks so much! I was worried at first with people telling me the meds would kill him but they definitely did not have any negative effects on him! He is still his happy self and the vet gave me the ok to get him a friend also so after his second treatment tomorrow we will be looking around for him a friend! I have found 2 different rescues so I am happy about that! Now just hoping whoever we find gets along with him good!
