The baby had a name. His name was Lovebug. We did everything we could, but without that developed swallow reflex, there wasn’t a lot of hope for recovery. It is hard to see in the video, but his pink skin was grey. He was hypoxic. His blood was not absorbing or carrying oxygen to his tissues even though he was breathing. As said in the video, he was probably trampled on/crushed after birth considering there were 16 guinea pigs in one cat carrier. I am sorry we couldn’t do more. I am sorry. His three siblings are doing great (a girl and two boys) and will go to their forever homes in a couple of weeks when they are weaned. Some of the big males have been adopted already! Thank you, everyone, for your support of our rescue.
