I neeeed that brush for all the water bottles I have now.. I rescued SIXXXXX piggies from our local shelter bc they were advertising them as free all over social media 🤦🏻♀️ I didn’t want them to go into the wrong hands. I was thinking they were Christmas gifts someone didnt want but it was a whole damn family! Momma, daddy, 5 babies .. I immediately separated the boys(3) and I’m rehoming them after our vet appointment if they’re in good health.. but I’m afraid the mom is pregnant already, will find out soon... so now I have 7 sweet girls and knock on wood, they all get along so well! So we spent the weekend building a c&c mansion, 3x9 with a 3x4 loft, & watching your videos! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us Scotty!

Hi Scotty! I've been living with guinea pigs for over 10 years now. They are my family. We survived 4 deaths (bad molars and bladder stones) and a few miraculous recoveries. One of them was a punctured eye case. All liquid has leaked out of the eye (that looked like boiled egg white). You've mentioned Terramycin Ointment... but it is an antibiotic to fight bacterial infections. You need something totally different to treat traumatic injuries. I used Corneregel (eye gel) that contains Dexpanthenol as an active ingredient for about 2 months (daily). And the eye literally grew to its normal size again. New blood vessels appeared. Color returned. Though the eye was almost blind, it didn't prevent the piggy from being active and running around the apartment. No surgery was necessary to remove the destroyed eye (as doctors threatened). It was a miracle. Hopefully, this info (or rather Corneregel) will help other unfortunate pigs. :)

Something else that’s important for using Terramycin for hay pokes or irritated eyes: Be sure to use one pea sized amount of Terramycin once a day for at last 7-10 days. In my experience, I stopped the terramycin once I noticed the eye looked healthy again after 3 days but the eye problem was recurring. Once I started it again for 7 days straight, the eye problem hasn’t returned. Antibiotics should be in the system for 7 days minimum to be affective. :)

@@yourlocalrat3757 I've seen sometimes on the Saturday live programming they have had a piggy with a hay poke, and they could actually see the piece of hay still in the eye and they were able to remove it at that same time. The eye was "cloudy" and it was like a miracle, the eye cleared up very quickly. This can all be done at home. Obviously, if it doesn't resolve soon then it could be something that requires a vet visit but the hay-poke often can be dealt with without a vet visit.

Billy! Good video Scotty!! I love my fiddkestick tunnel and the snack shack. Might be worth mentioning that when buying syringes to make sure the tip is plain and not the type intended for a needle which will have kind of a double wall at the tip. So just look at the tip of the syringe and make sure it's simple and not complex. Also, most vets will give you a few for free if you ask nice on your next visit but you can also puck them up at feed/farm stores like Tractor Supply. Also, those fiddkestick tunnels can be used as a ramp too, they're very stiff and stay in the shape you bend them too

I use the 1 mL syringe for medicine but I think the other one I have is 5 mL. I use the bigger one for critical care (mixed thinly if pig can’t take it off a spoon) and water (the latter only sometimes). I’m lucky I have a pretty much endless supply of syringes since my mom’s a doctor 😂 I just ask her to bring more home from her office. Don’t have to buy gloves, gauze, or qtips either! And because of her, I’m able to keep bactrim in my emergency kit. That stuff is amazing and has cleared up ear infections and UTIs in no time! My bonded boys came to me from their previous owner with a snak shak. I threw it out though since they were literally eating it. They’re naughty boys (I love them though lol). Bought them the space houses for Christmas and they’re chewing them to bits and I’m pretty sure they’re eating those too (and they eat sooo much hay so that’s not the issue) 🤦♀️ I’ll be lucky if those last another month. My hut flipper also figured out how to flip them... and I bought them cuz he was flipping the plastic pigloos so often and I got fed up.

I would warn if you have a really small Guinea pig that can fit into the snack shack like my Guinea pig could mine started to mold. So I threw it away and started using alternatives like wooden hides with hay racks. Definitely something you should think about before buying it (keep in mind I have a special needs pig she is less than a pound and so so small that this probably isn’t a problem you will have) the other thing I can say is my friends Guinea pig got stuck in their and the emergency vet took a long time to carefully get her pig out so I tend to stay away from those but it’s really your choice. Lastly the snak shak has a lot of ingredients in it I tend to stay away from like toxic wood shavings and honey but if your pigs aren’t chewers like mine you should be good
