GUINEA PIG - BATHING

Guinea pigs don't need bath in routine until they are soiled or you want to take them for show purpose. It is stressful for them but if you are good with bathing them, they will not have much troubles. You can use baby shampoo or mild kitten shampoo or soaps with aloe vera and neem based. Guinea pigs need frequent bath when they are infested with ectoparasites.
After bathing they should be towel dried properly and care should be taken that water does not enter their eyes and ears. They should be kept at dry and warm place for proper drying.

GUINEA PIG FEEDING

Guinea Pigs make fantastic pets for children. Also known as a “Cavy” and they are social and very affectionate. Apart from a regular checkup with your local vet to catch any potential illness ahead of time, there is no reason for a Guinea Pig to be any more trouble than a cat or a dog.


Parasites can become a problem, but generally aside from lice and mites not many other bugs affect the furry little creatures. Caring for your guinea pig should be a loving activity. As they like to sleep in and under straw, hay, and other soft surroundings, new bedding can be a problem with mites and lice. Lice can be seen in some cases, and if they are present, they can cause intense itchiness for your little friend.

Feeding your guinea pig is dependant on what you feed them in the first few weeks of their life. They will take a fancy to whatever it is you feed them during this time, and that will tend to be their preferred diet for life.In the initial phase of their life, feed them a good range of food, like grass, hay, fresh fruit and vegetables. Occasionally feed them pellets, but caring for your guinea means providing a good balanced diet, so don’t overdo the pellets.

MALIGNANT TUMOR - DOG


german shepherd dog had minor injury on the fore limb. it went unnoticed but dog started limping quite often and even radiograph showed no visible bone injury. After few months the limping was quite painful to dog. At that time radiograph showed some impressions over the joint and dog was put on pain killers. But this didn't help the dog. Finally biopsy was sent to the lab for histopathology and it confirmed the maligant mesenchymal carcinoma. Few more radiographs were done to find out the spread of cancer and prognosis at this stage. But it was too late to help the poor dog and pain was too much to him. Only good thing is that dog is full of life and want to fight with the end.
