    Hi Scotty! I've been living with guinea pigs for over 10 years now. They are my family. We survived 4 deaths (bad molars and bladder stones) and a few miraculous recoveries. One of them was a punctured eye case. All liquid has leaked out of the eye (that looked like boiled egg white). You've mentioned Terramycin Ointment... but it is an antibiotic to fight bacterial infections. You need something totally different to treat traumatic injuries. I used Corneregel (eye gel) that contains Dexpanthenol as an active ingredient for about 2 months (daily). And the eye literally grew to its normal size again. New blood vessels appeared. Color returned. Though the eye was almost blind, it didn't prevent the piggy from being active and running around the apartment. No surgery was necessary to remove the destroyed eye (as doctors threatened). It was a miracle. Hopefully, this info (or rather Corneregel) will help other unfortunate pigs. :)

    I neeeed that brush for all the water bottles I have now.. I rescued SIXXXXX piggies from our local shelter bc they were advertising them as free all over social media 🤦🏻‍♀️ I didn’t want them to go into the wrong hands. I was thinking they were Christmas gifts someone didnt want but it was a whole damn family! Momma, daddy, 5 babies .. I immediately separated the boys(3) and I’m rehoming them after our vet appointment if they’re in good health.. but I’m afraid the mom is pregnant already, will find out soon... so now I have 7 sweet girls and knock on wood, they all get along so well! So we spent the weekend building a c&c mansion, 3x9 with a 3x4 loft, & watching your videos! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us Scotty!

    Scottie thank you so very much for your wonderful videos. They are by far the best I've seen. I have an animal sanctuary in an area that has no shelter. A lady just dumped out guinea pigs in her yard in January! Anyway they are here on the farm I keep them in a green house. I of course had a good idea of what they needed, but your videos are the most informative of the many details critical to give excellent care.
    Your work here is saving guinea pigs lives.

    Something else that’s important for using Terramycin for hay pokes or irritated eyes:
    Be sure to use one pea sized amount of Terramycin once a day for at last 7-10 days.
    In my experience, I stopped the terramycin once I noticed the eye looked healthy again after 3 days but the eye problem was recurring.
    Once I started it again for 7 days straight, the eye problem hasn’t returned.
    Antibiotics should be in the system for 7 days minimum to be affective. :)

      @@yourlocalrat3757 I've seen sometimes on the Saturday live programming they have had a piggy with a hay poke, and they could actually see the piece of hay still in the eye and they were able to remove it at that same time. The eye was "cloudy" and it was like a miracle, the eye cleared up very quickly. This can all be done at home. Obviously, if it doesn't resolve soon then it could be something that requires a vet visit but the hay-poke often can be dealt with without a vet visit.

    Billy! Good video Scotty!! I love my fiddkestick tunnel and the snack shack. Might be worth mentioning that when buying syringes to make sure the tip is plain and not the type intended for a needle which will have kind of a double wall at the tip. So just look at the tip of the syringe and make sure it's simple and not complex. Also, most vets will give you a few for free if you ask nice on your next visit but you can also puck them up at feed/farm stores like Tractor Supply.
    Also, those fiddkestick tunnels can be used as a ramp too, they're very stiff and stay in the shape you bend them too

    i love piggies, they are so adorable. had one once when i was little. Now with stupid allergies, I am limited on my kind of pets. I am allergic to dogs, cats, and nature of all things. i am allowed birds, but i have been looking as to what other kinds of pets would work for me. thought of another guinea, but unfortunately I am unable to take care of them properly due to my bad legs. But I do enjoy watching you and Saskia. keep up the good work.

    I like to use the cleaning brushes for drinking straws to clean bottle spouts.
    They're small and bendy enough to go through the curved parts.
