Mr Bangers the guinea pig is poorly

[Bunny]

Almost a year to the day since he first had an inner ear infection, we found him having a funny turn when we came home from Aldi this morning (he'd been perfectly fine a few hours before but I just had the niggly feeling that there was something just not quite right before we popped out shopping), took him straight to the vet where he said it was an ear infection again (must be to do with the change of weather at this time of year). Poor little thing squealed his head off when he had the antibiotic injection. Somehow I have to give him anitbiotics orally for the next 3 weeks. Fingers crossed it clears up the infection for good for this year.

Oh no - poor Mr Bangers! I hope you manage to get those anti b's in him hun and that he makes a speedy recovery x x

[Bunny]

but you know what really annoys me is when we get him home and the little bugger goes straight for his food dish as if there was nothing wrong at all

[Emsickle]

lol bless him - the lot of anti b's he's just had must have kicked in quick - almost like the ol' calpol with children.

get well soon Mr B xx

[duck_egg]

aw bless him...hope he's ok taking his anti-b's hun! gett well soon mr bangers! x

[Bunny]

and why does he always decide to be ill just before the vets is about to close for the day, I swear he does it deliberately, got a feeling he'll be getting me to pamper him all weekend long. Which reminds me I'd better go and get him some fresh grass from outside before I mow the lawn.

[smirnoff]

aw poor mr bangers! and what a worry for you!!!! *hugs* hunni

[Bunny]

yeah, Suzi, it's so scary watching him on his side having what looks like a fit (it's just that he can't get his balance and feels funny), god knows what i'll be like the day I have a child of my own

[smirnoff]

Aw Clair... you will have been through the scares so often that you will be well sorted in "the drill"!!!

[wokkies]

:cloud9:aww hope he gets better soon, :kisshands:

[Bunny]

well giving him antibiotics by mouth was quite easy, was so nice having him in the bedroom last night (just so I keep keep a listen out incase he had another funny turn), he was so polite and waited until morning before he drank out of his bottle, don't think he wanted to wake us up with the noise

[smirnoff]

awwwwwwwww bless him!

[curlywurly]

Awww, hope he's feeling better soon bunny! *sends little GPig kisses* :kisshands:

[smirnoff]

hows he doing now? any better?

[Bunny]

he seems chirpier, he's staying in the bedroom with us at night for the foreseeable future......sshhhhhh don't tell dh it's forever, he thinks it's just for a few days......lol.

[Girlzmum]

Oh no - poor Bangers! Tell him the girls send all their love and kisses. xo

[BecksDaykin]

How is he this morning? Any better? Hope he's back to his usual self very soon

[Bunny]

ok, is this what it's like to have a baby in the same room, at 2:30 am this morning he wanted a carrot, then all I can hear is him crunching his dried food. *touch wood* he does seem better

[smirnoff]

aw bless him xxx
