HoneyBun my 5 year old cavy in the grass grazing , she has been living in a dog crate for a week as she has a bacterial infection in her feet from the wire in the bottom of her hutch. About 6 months ago she got a new hutch, a fancy two storey job, but she wouldn't use the top floor, so was spending more time on the wire which I think was a courser than she was used too. By the time we realised there was a problem, it was quite advanced, as guinea pigs are quite good at hiding illness. I tried different antiseptics to no avail. Guinea pigs don't tolerate antibiotics, so the vet has prescribed an antibacterial soak followed by zinc cream. We'll see how it goes, she is quite happy and not suffering at all, devouring food by the truck load. We've renovated the hutch, second floor is now a ground floor and the wire removed from the bottom. Fingers crossed there won't be a problem as the hutch is quite heavy and hopefully will stay firmly on the ground. She can really romp in the grass now.
More flowers
and the eclipse on Tuesday.On the knitting front, the Inca jumper is coming along slowly. Hoping Inca will still be $2.40 at Spotlight tomorrow , and there is enough in the right colour for a vest for Dad.
Other than that a bit of spring cleaning.
