And came out with a new fluff! Actually, its a guinea pig.
I never meant to add another furbaby, the whole reason we went in there was to look at investing in a heat lamp for my other guinea pig that is ill. I decided I atleast had to have a peek at the critters. I noticed him right away, due to the fact he had a goopy eye and was the smallest in the cage. He had just been shoved in with the other older boys. I told myself no, mom won't allow me another one. I forced myself to walk away, trailing my grandma to the heat lamps.
I couldn't get him out of my head. We had told an employee, but the "whatever" look he gave us told me he wasn't going to get cared for, he would be put in the back room until he passed. I decided I just had to call my parents. After about twenty minutes of begging, they said yes! I'm actually still in shock.
So, since all of my rodent type animals are named after candy, meet AJ! Short for Almond Joy. He is still terrified. Its a good thing we had an empty set up, it was meant to be!
So, how do I clear up his eye? I want to try the saline solution, how do I make that? Also, whenever there is pressure on his chest or anything, he makes this wheezing/snorting noise, I'm worried its something respatory. He's on pine shavings like my other boys, I'll try switching to fleece to see if that helps.
Also, I'm not good with colors. He is black with grey ticking in a ring around his eyes, with the same grey hairs along his entire tummy and paws, its adorable!
Pictures to come
