Kirk goes to the Vet Part 2

Thursday was Kirk's follow up appointment with the vet. I noticed that he was doing much better, but I was anxious to see what the vet would say. He didn't have to have any needle pricks this time, but he did have to be subjected to the stethoscope which he wasn't too pleased about. He was talking away while Dr. Cook patiently waited for him to stop. After I gave him a few pets he stopped the chattering and his lungs and his little paws (because they use them to wipe their nose) passed the pneumonia inspection! The vet said that pneumonia never really leaves their systems, so there is a chance that he might get it back someday but that for now he is doing much, much better! He also said he was gaining weight which is a good thing:


Here he is sitting in his food bowl eating a treat. Ronnie sent this to me while I was at work with the caption "Only a pig sits in food to eat food." :D

In other guinea pig news, we had to throw out the crinkle tube that we got from the pet store because someone made a big mess inside of it. I was rinsing it out and putting it back in the cage after it dried, but the tube was not going to make a come back after this particular mess. I decided to order some new homemade cage accessories so that I could put them in the washer instead of throwing them out. Here is what we got:

New crinkle tube and a crinkle sac from TheCozyFerret.

Cuddle Cup from ellencho.

I tried to find them some space themed bedding/toys, but c'mon, dinosaurs! I'm looking forward for everything to get here to see how they will react. Right now we just have their little huts, their food and hay in there so it should be interesting!
