Okay, thanks everyone! I've got an vet appointment for him this afternoon with a vet who's the vet for my other two. I looked up the symptoms for ringworms and they don't looks like what Simba has. I think he might have a fever, though.

I cut up an orange and gave a third of it to each pig. Simba went through it like he was inhaling it rather than eating it. Smile

It might be a respiratory infection. Snug (one of my other guinea pigs) had a respiratory infection as a baby and it nearly killed him. Our vet had to keep him for two weeks until he was better ready to be removed from their quarantine. It could be an allergy, though, because I use a different bedding from what Simba's last owners used, so it might be what's making him cough and sneeze. I'll find out at the vets.

I also have to get Simba's limp checked up on. He was badly injured a few months ago (According to his last owner he was accidentally dropped on the kitchen floor.) and I want to get it check up on.

awww poor baby getting dropped. I know it happens but yikes. I had a Bunny and he would nom down a Banana like they were going out of style XD Hope everything checks out good for him. <3

I hope it does too.

What was the verdict of the vet is Simba better? Hope it is notting to serious.

by **Ember Robinwood** Mon Oct 06, 2014 7:36 pm

Alright, so the verdict was that Simba seems healthy. The twin bald patches behind his ears appear to be normal. All guinea pigs have them, Simba's are just a lot bigger than most. However, if we notice any scratching or scabbing there, we need to take him back for another check up. His cough and sneeze are from his new bedding. If it persists we need to switch back to his old bedding. And lastly, his limp is something he's always going to have because his leg injury was very serious, but there's nothing that can be done about it. So, all in all, he's a healthy happy pig who needs to be kept an eyes on.

GRRRR I need to start typing in word first and then coping and pasting when it looses my post. :-(

by **Silence** Fri Oct 10, 2014 3:29 am

I do it the same way, it's a lot better than to have to start over and over :-)
I'm on a tabled with a wicked connection :-)

by **Ember Robinwood** Fri Oct 10, 2014 11:12 am

I always copy it before I try posting because I have a faulty internet connection.

ugh!*bashes my head on the wall*

my dad took his bell air '55 to the race track, and he actually tried to race it!...big surprise, he broke it. now it has to be towed home. now i'm really glad i didn't go...

by **Delhya** Sun Oct 19, 2014 2:38 pm

Awwww He didn't throw a rod or anything did he?

by **Tidemist** Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:11 am

he was checking it this morning. apparently he broke the rear axle.*rolls eyes* mom said they sprayed some kinda stuff on the track to give the cars traction, but it wasn't really dry or there was too much...she said her flipflops stuck and broke in half. that's assumed to be the reason why he couldn't go, and since he couldn't go...something broke.

by **Delhya** Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:23 am

That's a bummer Hope it get's fixed ok. He is not trying to keep it original is he?

by **Tidemist** Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:28 am

oh god no. XD he's already entirely rebuilt the engine. had it all painted, he's trying to redo the interior...he says he's trying to fix it up to sell, but i don't want him to....>.< i love his car. aside from the fact the friggin backseat isn't bolted down because he WAS going to add seatbelts, and now it slides back and forth when i'm sitting in the back...

by **Delhya** Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:54 am

lol Well if he never fixes it all the way he can't sell it or you can hide the title. Twisted Evil

Omg! Is your dad okay, Tide? I thought that conversation was just about being upset that he was selling his car (which definitely sucks Sad

), I didn't realize till now that he broke it trying to race :O

by **Tidemist** Tue Oct 21, 2014 12:33 am

yeah he's completely fine. i saw the video, he was at the starting line, and the car didn't go anywhere, it broke right at the beginning.

but yah, i don't want him to sell his caaar....
