I had to take DS's guinea pig to the vet today. I never thought I'd be taking a little critter to the vet.

Sunday night his cheeks puffed up, and then he quit eating and drinking. The vet just called and said I could come pick him up. They've given him fluids by IV and fave him a vitamin c shot. They also trimmed his front teeth. He's not sure what the problem is, though. He thinks he may have had something stuck in his tooth. He said to pick him up and bring him home and watch him for 24 hours. He also said that if he's not showing improvement in 24 hours I could bring him back but there's not much more they can do without getting into some big $$$.

Let's hope he starts improving.
