Update on Domino

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Thats great! I'm so glad Domino is getting better!

What kind of litter do you use? Cedar and non kiln dried pine are really bad, and I have heard that they can trigger URI. I know Kaytee brand pine litter is kiln dried, so that might be ok.

Oh no, I'd NEVER use pine or cedar! Never have, never will I used the dried newspaper stuff you get from pet stores...I'm not quite sure what it's called, but it's one of the best kinds.

We're still waiting for the vet's call, and man, I miss my boy! I'm just glad he's coming home though, and that's the best thing!!!

Ok, thats good. I was just checking because even some very responsible guinea pig owners don't realize that that can be the start of many problems.

Thanks Sandra!

Domino's doing much better, although I don't know if he'll ever be 100%. He's just getting up there in age, and Dr. Scott has done everything he can to help him. He actually called yesterday and I have a big decision to make...Domino is better than he was, though not totally well...so I have 3 options: I can bring him home tomorrow and see how much longer he hangs in there, or Dr. Scott has offered to give him to a teacher and her class to enjoy. He also said he could keep him at the vet's office to enjoy as well. I'm having a hard time deciding, since I just want to do what is best for Domino...but since he will probably have a relapse, I'm not so sure I want to go through that again. But I would still love to have him home, yet others may enjoy him too. I'm praying to make the right decision, and I will let you know what happens.
