The Crazy Pet Channel: Guinea Pigs

Hi readers, Bramble has had a few problems recently that I wanted to share with you. So a few months ago (Ok so not that recent. To be precise it was in June) I noticed she had a lump but didn't take her to the vet as it was very small. Fast forward a month and it was substantially larger (around the size of a grape and a half) so I took her to the vets and she (the vet not bramble) said it was a benign cyst and due to the risk of the anesthetic it wasn't worth the risk of operating. The vet said to weigh her wheekly to make sure she isn't drastically loosing weight (I haven't actually weighed her! Oooops! But I have no scales...hmm should probably buy some. Ok going off track here!) and make sure she is eating enough. A few weeks later...... We took Bramby to a diffrent vet, on the advice of the guinea pig magazine experts, and they said it's a tumor and it would be better to remove it sooner rather than later. We decided it would be better to get it removed,

HI!!!!! Here is Patches updated profile. Patches NAME: Patches                                                Age: 2 and half (ish) Breed: Sheba mini yak type thing Colour: Tortoiseshell and white Favorite food: Lettuce Least Favorite food: Courgette Patches was my first guinea pig. Her personality is crazy and she is very bossy towards Bramble (her cage mate). When I got her she was only 10 wheeks old and was SUPER fluffy. She is always hungry and loves being out on the grass when possible. FUN FACT When I was going to get a guinea pig I thought I wanted a boy, but when I went in to Pets At Home a week before I was going to get one, I got to hold Patches and knew she was the one I wanted. Unfortunately I couldn't reserve her, but luckily no one else had bought her when I went in to get my guinea pig. Also, when I got her, I called her Patch but then changed it to Patches. I hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about my little fluffball! Book Worm :)
