Senior Guinea Pig Surrender March 2019

[@MsMare3]

I love the older animals. I would not hesitate to adopt those boys. They are wonderful little guys! Thank you Saskia for all the time you take to keep us informed on their care.

[@michellegordon4211]

yeah, I just adopted an 11 year old Boston Terrier...had to spend a bundle on his dental care but it was worth it; he's a sweetheart:)

[@hollyhamster6755]

Omg a guinea pig that is 11 years old!! That’s very cool

[@jasiahhouston9568]

I guess I am kinda off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

[@kelvinmatias4107]

@Jasiah Houston i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@johnnycrew2517]

@Jasiah Houston I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it on google =)

[@kiddfaith4397]

A pet is an addition to the family for the extent of their lives. It’s a commitment to care for them through thick and thin, and not toss them away like a used toy. I’m very happy with my elderly piggy(and his younger piggy friend, both are rescues). He’s around seven years old, has cataracts and a benign inoperable tumour, but he’s one of my babies, he’s otherwise in good health, and I do my best to help him to stay nice and comfy in his elder years.

[@klm_shadow]

Oh wow 7 is pretty old, that's wonderful! Sometimes the older ones are total characters cause they can be grumpy and fussy or bossy and it's an absolute delight to have them.

[@summerclancy5173]

I also have an elderly piggie who's 11 and also cataracts , she now is in "retirement" where I feed her a lot more fun foods that are of course safe for her , she is my baby and its sad people would put them down in these kind of ages.

[@Paka1918]

@@summerclancy5173 I had a 9 year old, she can't walk and squeak loud, but she was lovely. But now she is gone.

[@alisonlouise6406]

How can people be so cruel.... they are family you don’t just get rid cos you’ve had enough or they’re old...sometime I hate people!.....then I see your videos and it restores my faith in mankind....the wonderful care you give to all the piggies...... I can’t say it enough ....Saskia.....you’re amazing ❤️❤️❤️and you and your team are just superb.....I adore you love and hugs from me and my tribe from bargoed South Wales UK

[@heathercovington3945]

OK how sweet is his little whine. Poor little baby. ❤ great work as always

[@CavyConsciousness]

2:30 sounds like the quacking of a duck. never heard a piggy make that noise. Oh so glad they came to you.

[@Acidfunkish]

I thought it was a bird squawking, at first, too. 😯 What strange sounds, from a piggy! I hope he's able to become more comfortable. He's purring / growling a lot, too. Love talkative piggies. 😍

[@CavyConsciousness]

@@Acidfunkish I'll be honest I was kind of impressed with his repertoire

[@cutesybunnny]

Yes he has a very interesting annoyed voice lol

[@quijotapazos2750]

Mine sounded like a human baby, It made me so sad

[@cassiewife2narrowgatehomestead]

I am a new piggy mom. I didn't want one but my son rescued it from an awful home where he was very neglected. And I am a sucker for unloved animals. I took him for a check up today and he checked out in very good health. He did get eye drops for a crusty eye but Dr said it was probably from a get pock. He did say in his 30 years he has never seen a pig run for the owner and his under my chin. He said he has never seen a piggie love the owner like that. And it made him happy to see me love my baby so much. I found it sad that some people don't love their babies. What he didn't do was check his stuff like you do. I need to make an appointment to have you check all that and he needs a piggie partner. I do have to wait until after we are back from our passover . My hubby only wants to truck one across America.

[@erins4183]

I adopted two little guys about 3 months ago. Both are about 12mths old and were from hoarding situations. One little man has severely torn up ears from being crammed in a tiny room with over a hundred other pigs and has bad ongoing fungus issues in his mouth 😢. Nothing has really helped so far, but I’m finding the longer he’s in a good home with proper food, it’s slowly healing and looking better. He’s been on 2 antibiotics, pain/anti inflammatory meds and different creams. I’m just hoping it clears up for good 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@miss_shaant]

It was so cute when you wrapped up the piggy in the blanket when you cleaned his teeth. He looked like a little burrito 😚

[@tammylines2779]

The second One red and black he was in a lot of pain his arthritis is very bad I’m so glad that he was brought there from you to to take care of and you put him on CBD thank you for loving all the guinea pigs and all the animals that god has created god bless you and family friends and person there for all the hard work and dedication to help save them and most of all take away their painful suffering that they should have never had through her comes my happy tears again

[@XX-nl9sx]

It makes me angry when people plan to put down their animals just cause their sick of them. Shows a complete lack of morality and responsibility. There's so many ways to rehome a pet, but they choose just to kill it. People like that shouldn't have pets at all. Good thing people like you are there to save those poor animals.

[@celestialcrystalize8871]

Yea, it makes me mad when people abuse their pets like they wants to kill these poor animals. People should show respects, and not be an abusers.

[@kristen7623]

I love how Sas was completely unfazed but that first guinea quacking

[@pattilynch8288]

The Dollar Tree now carries a dental tool like this!!! I picked one up yesterday for my cricut machine but its a dental tool. Thank you Saskia for all of the informative videos. I couldn't do this mom pig life without you!!

[@jillking23]

Saskia your such a fantastic Doctor! You really are! ♥️😊

[@PhyrIsSoCold]

Very informative as usual, thank you once again Saskia and the camera person! Shout out to her! :) She's always asking questions the viewers are likely to want to ask (at least in my experience). Keep up the great work, guys! Wheek wheek wheek! :D

[@deanamowers3160]

They are so sweet, I don’t understand how people can just all of a sudden decide they don’t want them anymore 😢

[@jills6565]

What cute piggies. Love the chubby ones!

Poor sweet piggies. Glad they got to you

[@seewhathappenslarry8124]

The white piggy is adorable! Such a diva boy!

[@foreverdolls33]

I love watching you I have two piggies a boy and a girl. I wish I lived in Cali cause then I could adopt a piggie from there. But I live in ga. I hate it when people don't want a poor piggie.

HEART OF GOLD!❤️💛

[@adriap.1729]

What a couple of cuties!

[@celinedegroot]

At 10.25 you can see one of the pigs yawning😂 (on the left of Saskia) So cute😍

[@pamscraps]

Celine de Groot Lol, he must be super tired being front row supervisor at the rescue. He yawned at 9:24 too.

[@amandah2866]

They're both so cute and sweet! I wish I knew why the owner gave them up because they look pretty well looked after. Thank you for showing the teeth cleaning. I got bitten by my 7-year-old girl yesterday while removing some hay from between her teeth. I never thought to use a cotton bud lol.

[@j2pio2]

That first ones wheeker sounds off..

[@thewritestuffindy]

You are such a compassionate person, Saskia! Hopefully your teaching and tips for keeping senior piggies in good shape will resonate!

[@nightshadeshadowlilly6095]

I adopted a 5yr old boy last week. Being the right hand woman to the owner, I go to the sanctuary all of the time. When I got there, his 5yr old cage mate had passed away in the night. And being so old, no one wanted them. So when we closed that evening, I came home with my 9th furbaby. 😍 We have an apartment, so after him my hubby had to put his foot down.

[@unsteddy]

I love how Saskia invests so much time in these little guys. I have some of my own and I adore spending time with them. Thanks For Caring Saskia.

[@marijkeotter-delange1860]

[@ourmagicalmess4649]

They are so beautiful. I would adopt those boys if I lived there. I live in Australia.

[@mszoomy]

That first boy was making some really weird noises at first, then you touched his weenie and he fell in love, that purr said it all!!! I love it when you talk on the guinea pig phone, I do it all the time with my girls, the sound of their breath and tiny heartbeats are so soothing. You have the magic touch with the piggies

[@Acidfunkish]

TBF, purring can also be done out of irritation. Guinea pigs are weird like that.

[@mszoomy]

@@Acidfunkish I'm well aware of that, but it was funny that he chose that particular moment to purr.

[@Alicia-jg7is]

How do you know when a guinea pig purrs? I can't hear :'( I wear hearing aids and I can't hear it haha

[@mszoomy]

@@Alicia-jg7is I understand, I wear them too, they kind of vibrate a little bit

Those two boys are so lucky they landed at LAGPR. Thank you for taking them in. ❤️

[@maggiej121]

I never get tired of watching your videos, soooo useful. But you make it look soooo easy. For my piggies nail clipping is NOT an easy thing! And the first piggie that squawking sound I've never heard before. And the second piggie was soooo upset that you took him away from his new Buddha friends LOL!!! Those piggies are so big, are they Cuys?? And they're both so beautiful I'd keep them both!!

[@robin2012ism]

Great idea with the snak shak. Looks cool! It also it has polypropylene glycol. Same as anti-freeze. It's in an amount that is generally considered safe. Heck, they put in in human commercial ice cream. 🤮. I make my own ice cream now.

[@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue]

All the surrenders you deal with must make things difficult but I'm sure happy you do what you do! So grateful for what you do for my pigs! What is bony butt?

[@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue]

Hahah a bony butt is something I started saying when talking about seniors. Older pigs usually start to lose weight even when eating well and develop a "bony butt"

[@annmarieschantz9724]

Learned so much about piggies.

[@Saro3964]

I may be a Syrian Hamster Owner, but honestly this is helping get the idea that guinea pigs would be a lil much for me at the moment. Though if my shelter does struggle with finding homes for the 2 girls they have I can hopefully use the info you rad lads put out to help them if they need volunteers. They really do not get rodents much so I am studying up really.

[@THEBADDEST013]

hey I'm pretty young but when I grow up I wanna be a vet so that's why my mom let's me be responsible for pets at the age of myself.I watch these vids to help me with my guinea pigs .I also have a hamster and a dog and yes I do. have 4 guinea pigs and of course I wouldn't only get 1! haha.well if you could tell me where this rescue place is.If it's pretty close to my place maybe I'll come by and help to take them home to a large environment outdoors with 4 females.my guinea pigs are so young and they've gotten better everyday and now I can hold them and be confertable with them ! please carry on doing these great vids!

[@camillapokemon]

Saskia, your whole vibe makes me so happy! 😍 And I LOVE the long video, I feel like the 10 minute videos are too short! ❤️I hope that you will consider longer videos in the future as well, even if you repeat stuff you've shown in earlier videos.

Hi I love your videos I have 2 Guinea Pigs and there very skittish there 2 little 3 month old girls so when I clean there cage next I will try to remember to do that trick with them because when I go to pick them up they always run away and my mum had Guinea pigs when she was a girl so she gets down on the ground to pick then up for me.

What kind of person threatens to have animals killed if someone doesnt take them? I hope that part of the story wasnt actually like it sounded. Thats cold. The good news is, here they are.

[@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue]

I think that those are often empty threats made to have a rescue take in an animal right away. But not all are empty threats so we do take them seriously.

[@AT-ov2wi]

I used to think Saskia was the guinea pig WHISPERER, but after seeing her hold them to her ear like a telephone, I now know that she is actually the guinea pig LISTENER❣

[@lilyiily959]

You are wonderful Saskia ❤

[@critterpaws8373]

Very appreciated video. I do the ear and nails and check growth of teeth but did not know about the food that can get stuck. I will also check the throat for I had two elderly Guinea pigs that the vet treatment did not work. I will also purchase that pain medication for my pigs are between 3 and 4. I have 5 female pigs whom all living happily together in my very big wooden cage of about 8 feet long and 2 feet deep. The bedding is fleece. I use coconut oil for their dry ears and to help with cleaning. I hope that's ok. Thank you for your information on the regular care check up.

I wonder why some pigs have such nice nails that don't require as much trimming? I had one like this once, I only needed to cut his nails a few times his whole life and he lived until the age of nine! Is it genetics? All my other piggies have nails that grow and grow (and very thick too).

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

I'm sadly not that surprised about this. My oldest cat turns 15 in two weeks and he has mild hyperthyroidism. Nothing major and relatively easy and cheap to treat and he is overall still a very healthy cat. People still already told my mom(where he lives) to just put him up for adoption or put him down because he costs more money than a young cat. My mom told them to kindly fuck off, she is getting older too and she isn't put down or put in a care home just yet either. His meds cost about 100€ a year plus two check ups for his blood levels which is another around 40€ all together. We adopted him when he was 4 because his old owner didn't want him anymore. We promised him that we would be his last home and we will keep that promise. Said old owner had far too many different animals after him and kept none of them for very long and it just makes me angry but we can't do anything about that sadly. At least our Teddy is happy and safe.

[@caiyupj]

Hi Saskia it would be lovely If you could answer my question about my piggie. My piggie Max (girl) has recently developed a small hard lump under her belly close to her nipple. She is certainly on the chubbier side and I have a suspicion that is could possibly be a fatty lipoma. I haven’t spoken to a vet yet but I believe they would recommend surgery as a cure but as you mentioned in previous videos anesthesia is risky in small animals. It would wonderful for you if you could give me more info on this as I love my piggie very very much. She has a cage mate who has a large ovarian cyst. Do you think that medicine you mentioned in the video will help with her pain with the cyst as the metacam she’s on doesn’t seem to be doing much. I also she suspect she may have impaction as when she poops she looks in pain. Btw. Both of them are 4 years old. Please help! I love your channel very much because of how informing you are thx for your time ❤️❤️💖💖🐹🐹🐹
