hmm..of cos there would be risks involved in all operations, but well, I think the chances of success are high, and I have faith in Dr Ling.. of course if it isn't successful, I can't blame her. oh I'd ask her her percentage of successes and let u know again k?  |

Those of you who want to neuter..is it because you don't want them to impregnante the females or wanna curb the aggressive behavior? Cos neutering won't have any effect on aggressive behavior towards other males... Man.. 4 of Sugar's babies died?? During birth or what? So sad man..  Are Arnie and Sugar brother and sister? |

eh..me is cos dun wan sugar to get pregnant again lor.. and rain also.. no.. arnie and sugar aren't siblings, but some kind of relatives...like far off cousins or sumthing..
mm.. sugar had 3 babies for her first birth. When I got home, one was dead, either still born or was trampled to death.. the other 2 stayed with me for 3 days before they left one after the other. Even dr Ling dunno y.. one died in the early morn of the third day.. the other died at the clinic, that same afternoon.. I actually brought the baby and mother Sugar to the clinic and dr ling checked them and said both were fine. Cos I didn't see the babies drink milk at all..so she helped me check if Sugar had milk..and she did leh.. Then on my way home.. the baby became very weak suddenly, could see that she was dying, just like the first baby which died. Rushed her back to the clinic.. Dr ling gave her some glucose stuff but she still didn't make it..
hai..that was a heartbreaking period.. anyway her second birth, 2 babies, the other baby was also dead when I came home, like the first birth that still born lidat.. I was so worried that Rain wouldn't make it. But luckily she's going strong now=)

And Sugar's health is fine? You didn't actually see the birth itself, huh? Maybe the others got suffocated by the sac?

yeah sugar is healthy nope..didn't get to see both births myself.. dunno if it was the sac.. but when I found them, the sacs were already removed... and they were both lying on their sides, kind of flattened..so dunno if they were trampled to death or they were trampled after they died.. |

hehe.. yeah Rain has grown quite abit.. she's already 1 month plus already...so fast..hehe.. anyway.. I just realised today that I sexed her wrongly... I was about to bring Arnie to the vet, when I picked up Rain and turned 'her' over.. if I didn't take a closer look most prob I still wouldn't know now that Rain's a boy.. Rain sounds too girly for a boy? haha.. but nvm lah.. dun wanna change liao.. anyway I'd seperate him from Sugar once Arnie has fully recovered and back with Sugar... cos he's still young, the other guys should be able to accept him. anyway yeah, I brought Arnie to the vet for neutering today.. hmm.. think I'd update in piggies chat. anyway mel, I'd upload more pix maybe next wkend.. :)got a lot of stuffs on my hands at the moment |

^You're not the only one... i'm super busy too..so busy I dun feel like starting any work.. ohz.. sexing guinea pigs wrongly seems to be common... i thought cream and caramel were gals when i gave them their names..cos the person i got them from said they were sisters.. i only found out a couple of months later..sheesh... at least both are the same sex..  So is rain confirmed a boy? Think the name is fine for a guy lah..  |
