The all natural Piggies Choice Hay Racks are available finally! amzn.to/3iYcPHP
As well as the new Piggies Choice Space House colors amzn.to/3jQMY5L
All Piggies Choice products are designed by me specifically for guinea pigs
The first bath for a pig that has a severe case of crusty Ringworm is the most important one. Soak him really well and then gently scrape off the crusts. Crusts most often appear in the folds of the neck, around the eyes, face, under the chin and on top of the rump.
This video shows step by step instruction on the best way to get a great first bath done. When a fungal infection is this bad you will also want to treat orally / internally with Intrafungal (only available on prescription) as these advanced infections can turn into a systemic problem.

He's a tough sweet guy!!! Thank you, Saskia!!
Scotty's Animals hey so my guinea pig is acting strange is there a way I could email you a video I got if him
My vet said negative and mange. After my piggy almost dying I decided to get online, found you and a couple others. And saved my piggy. I watched him have seizures and screem to the point I cried so hard. He's good now but not because of my vet, because of me loving him enough to do research and you loving them enough to share with us this information. Thank you gethin the bottom of my piggys hearts♥️♥️♥️
Oh wow that is an amazing story!! So very heart warming and SO happy he is all better now. 😘
I know your only one person and you cant take care of every ginea pig in the world but im glad there are people like you out there. Your a life saver.
Thank you for the heart your awesome❤!!
Right definitely changing the lives of so many piggies for the better. Amazing!!
Poor baby! I can't believe that people let it get this bad. People just kill me, it's horrible! I know ringworm is common but come on don't let it get that bad, the piggie is suffering. Thank you Saskia for all you and your volunteers do, you all are amazing. Love you Saskia and poor baby boy
I undrestand how you feel but sometimes people really do try their best.
@@lilianfranco4020 I agree. She even said that the vet had billed them $1000 so far and still not been able to solve the problem. This is a small animal specialty that many vets don't have. Without seeing this video I don't think I would be prepaired to handle this. Great education for us all.
I think they maybe just aren't sure what to do, what is happening, and they may fear the vet bill too. I don't think people deliberately do this to their pets. I think they just don't know. These videos help so much though.
I had a piggie die while my family was on vacation for a 1 month road trip. The person taking care of him (and others) said he lost a ton of fur and was scabby (but not before he died). I knew how to treat it, as it popped up in my herd at least once a year. It was heartbreaking because I lost one of my favorites to a simple fix. But at least they were able to treat everyone else. :(
@@coldhardysucculentswithkdw4988 that's what's so disheartening; vets don't have enough info or experience about treating guinea pigs.
I love how his eyes close as if he’s saying, “ooohhhhh. That feels so good...”
He looks so much better than yesterday..its not only the bath but most important ingredient is your love and compasion..he strikes to me as an Menzo what means strength/powerfull
Sweet little baby. He’s so calm and just sits there and never moved off that towel. He’s so cute💞
Guinea pigs are smarter than what people think. Benji knew he was being helped and loved. You can see the trust he has in Saskia.
I just had a good cry for this piggie. He is so lucky to be in your hands 💖
me too! Such a sweetie, huh?
That piggie is like “finally I get the pampering I deserve.”
So many times I see piggies who get ringworm after having an upper respiratory infection or other stressors. This poor guy! I am praying for his recovery!
He's suffering and uncomfortable, but notice how he's barely struggling.. I think he knows Saskia is his savior and really trusts her! Smart little guy. Hope he heals up real soon and becomes happy, safe and comfortable!
He enjoys the chin massage, cute little guy.
Vets doing blood work because they don't know what something so obvious as this is from how you make it seem and charging so much is ridiculous to me. Thank God we have you Saskia!
So sad. Hes in great hands. Terrible people who neglect their babies.
Thank you so much! My little bean freaked me out because he had a huge dry looking scab on his nose and I immediately gave him a bath thinking it was way worst. When it kinda cleared off I was trying to find a video to explain what happened. This video helped me so much on understanding what it was and that it's a beginning stage.
@@silvermoonlight4961 did it work?
It was such a joy seeing all that crust come off him!!!!!! He was loving it!!!!! You could see it in him. The happiness he must feel with the pain becoming less with each passing moment. Wow! Thank you for what you do Saskia! You are a blessing to the world.
He is such a good boy. He knows he is in good hands now.
What a sweet pig! I love to watch your work!
🛀🎵Splish splash, I was takin' a bath 🎵
Poor little dude. You can see how uncomfortable he is. But he's in good hands with you and knows it
Bless you and this handsome little piggie! ♥️😭
Ms.Saskia, is Isaac still with us? I had a dream about him last night. I'm sending all my love to him and this lil one. Thank you for all you do!
Yes he is! Isaac went to the vet yesterday and we had Xrays done. I flushed his tooth root abscesses today and he was interested in eating after that!! I do believe he suffered a bad fall because both upper and lower incisors have puss at the roots. He too has a long road to go.
Poor baby.. The shivering is also a sign of being in pain as well. I remember that behavior from a piggy of mine who had terrible cancer
Thank you guys for all you do to help these animals in need
Aww this is so nice to see him getting treated. He is SO sweet!
Poor sweet baby! Thanks for your care
You are such a sweet lady helping all these pigs ❤️
Very glad Benji is looking so much better already! ❤️❤️❤️
Love you and your work!!!
Yay! Benjamin! He looks better already after his bath. Thank you for making him better!😁
Oh he's so sweet, breaks my heart!
Oh I just love sweet Benji 💜🐹! Speedy recovery beautiful boy.
He's so well behaved! Bless him
amazing the work Saskia does
He’s in good hands can’t wait for next update❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪
Yay crusty be gone!...poor lil guy..first time I’ve seen you do baths...was a privilege to watch the master at work :)
Your love and care for this little guys warm my 💓. You're a wonderful human being Saskia!
July 2024 here.. he's also nice and calm from that Benadryl and the relief of all that crust being removed
Saskia is amazing! Thank you and everyone at LAGPR for all the incredible work you guys do!
Such a cutie and Saskia, you have such a soothing, kind voice.
Oh the love and care here😘 ! Little wiggly wags.
Thank you for everything you do Saskia. The compassion and love you show to this sweet little man brings me to tears.
I just have to say, you're awesome! Thanks for sharing and educating everyone about these amazing animals 👍👍👍
Oh he’s a little champ!! He’s a beautiful boy and a hope he recovers quickly and finds a wonderful home!!! 💖💖💖
Bless you Saskia.
Wow. 1000% better. He must feel so much better on his tiny little body. Bless you.
Poor baby. Im so happy to see him doing better
Aww poor little guy, you did a really good job with him.😄😄
The trust you build from the beginning to the end of this video is precious.
Thank you for being a picture of true 'Compassion'.
Aw poor little guy I hope he gets better and gets a nice home :’)
I just found you in YT and Im so happy because I see that you are really caring and loving of my beloved Guinea pigs I wish I was close to physically help you but its ok theres other ways❤️thank you for being a great guinea mom!
You are the first person who I like, that treate them with love! Bless you hon
god bless you saskia, you are truly heaven sent. i wish i could visit your rescue one day 💗
he is very very grateful to you, because you take care of his problems and help:) Thank you very much Saskia .
Gosh you are such an outrageously beautiful person, Saskia! That pig knows he is safe and loved now. 💕
Saskia YOU ARE LEGEND!!!!!!
They feel so much better in the first 24 hours alone. Great to see you are doing the same across the miles.🍎🍊🍉🍓🍒
Saskia, thanks so much for all the good, practical video logs that you record about how to take care of guinea pigs and any special needs that they have. I don't really know of another UA-cam channel like yours that delves into the specific medical needs that might occur with ownership of guinea pigs. As I said before, you're a true angel! 😁💖💕💓❤
Thank you Jim!! Most of the videos are not planned and just happen as the situation arises and I have a special affinity with the medical needs of piggies. I never know what case is going to find their way here, every day is different! ❤🌻🌻❤❤🌻
Saskia you are my hero!! I love the hard work you put in to these guinea pigs! You make me want to start a small rescue!
I can't get over how much crust you got off him and how good he was! Saskia, you really are a guinea pig whisperer.
Wow sooo cute how he got this lovely wellness bath 🛁💕☘️🙏💕👼🏻🌺 you are a Angel 👼🏻 Saskia
Benji is such a sweet gentle little guy, he behaved great 🐹💛👌😘😍
Aww he looks a lot better now, ❤️❤️
Poor baby. Hope he feels better soon. Hes adorable and looks like a tough lil guy. you can really tell hes enjoying it maybe he knows your trying to help him. such a sweetie.
Oh goodness! Love his heart! He is in terrible condition and still so sweet.
This poor, sweet little boy! You could tell by the way he closed his eyes his was loving the toothbrush scrub! I want to take him home and give him love!
Aww 🥰 he thinks it feels good to soak. That’s so sad. I am glad he was surrendered to you guys. Thank you 🙏🏻
Benji is a wonderful name for such a sweet older gentleman 😍 I hope he heals up and starts feeling better soon!
She is a angel
Great job! I love your dedication, it is most inspiring :)
Poor fella. I hope that he feels better soon. ❤ 🙏❤
I watch allot of your videos & the time & effort you put into these rescues is so amazing . Learning that ringworm & mange can be preventable could prevent so much needless suffering if people only did their research .
Thanks so much for your vid. Our pigs have clearly got ringworm (nothing like as bad as poor Benjie but they've given it to us!) so my kids watched your video and all 4 of them bathed and treated their piggies (they have 1 each) with a lotion my vet made up for me for €4! We'll continue to treat them and see how we go. Only one of them really loved his bath but they all feel better already. So educational and you are so very caring to them, it's heartwarming.
So lovely to see this little guy get the treatment he needs. Saskia is such a pro!
I love senior piggies so much 💕 you’ve done an amazing job he looks already much better!
Me too, I have that affinity with oldies as well. 😍
Poor baby! How could someone let this happen?!? He is in very good hands. Thank you for doing this and giving them all a second check!
Poor Little Man!! He looks better already :-) Thank You Saskia For The Update On The Little Guy!! I am so glad my Vet knows Guinea Pigs!!
Gizmo was starting to get it on his ears & the Vet goes it's Ringworm. Here is some meds he will be just fine. So now if he starts shaking his head a lot, we put the stuff on his ears just to be safe. If we need more all we have to do is call & go get it.
Awe.. such a sweet boy..
I’ve no idea how I ever got to this site, but it’s fascinating. It’s really great to see animals being treated properly.
I am so glad he has you to take care of him. I want to scream every time I see a neglected piggie. They are so helpless, how people can treat them so badly is beyond me. I adore you and thank you for all you and your team do.
awwwww Poor lil guy... How can anyone do that to this poor lil guy. I love my boys and would never let them get like that. Thank you for all that you do for these lil fur babies.
Thanks for posting. Sweet little guy so sorry for him. I thought that skin scraping was accurate. Thanks for the information.
Oh, I can't see it! What a beautiful piggy! My heart goes out to him! Oh, please, I know you can help him, I can't wait to see him in an update, hope he's better fast, the benadryl should help, then maybe he will eat and feel better, sleep and on the road to recovery!
You are such a piggie whisperer. I think they do know what you say.
I want to be like you when i’m an adult, i care so much for my pigs and for others pigs and i would love love love to do this when i’m older😊♥️🐷
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌻 First you visualize it and at that point it actually already exists! And then start filling in the blanks. (this is what I use for everything I achieved in life) Good luck sweetheart!
Saskia from Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue 😊
Also I forgot to add is YOU ARE AMAZING!!! The knowledge, care, education and more. All of those little ones are in good hands.
And I can’t believe how people dumb so many. Sad face.
Benji has got such a beautiful personality!
He is still soooooo cute, and I love his name❤❤❤
That moment in 6:40 showed a lot to me. I just disvovered you guys and I was worried if you handle the guinea pigs properly (this is my 3rd video so far) and seeing how this poor fella tries to reach to your hand to get out of the water... No doubt you treat them with true kindness. They really apreciate all what you do for them and so do I too. Can't wait to see more updates!
Ouch! Poor baby! He’s in good hands!!
I bet he was enjoying it. Finally getting the right treatment after having been neglected before being brought to the rescue.
Perfect name for him.
What a ham. I hope he's feeling better now. I had a piggy many years who had skin problems and the vet did a skin scraping that came back negative. we did ivermectin for mites but she never really improved and died shortly after from lymphoma. it now kills me to think it was ringworm she had and I could have made her more comfortable in her last months.This is a highly educational video, thank you for sharing.
I have bad skin problems that can cause painful scaling and cracking, and this little guy is such a trooper. Sometimes even water getting in it can be uncomfortable, but it has to be done. He seems to understand it's a necessary unpleasantness.
i beleive it too Saskia. I asked mine yesterday what they wanted and I learned a new word. Grettuce. All the good green things. From grass to lettuce and all in between.
LOL - That is actually a GREAT name for a piggie lady. Ok next lady pig will be Grettuce!
what an honour. THanks lol
Poor baby. He's in good hands 💖
Thank you Saskia❤️
Awww! What a sweetie Benji, poor thing
You have a very good way with the cuties. Good bedside manner. It’s crystal clear you know what you are doing and that you love what you are doing. Not that you love sick or injured munchkins but that you love them and truly care. Helping them out!! I don’t mean to be rude to whom ever surrendered that cutie but I often wonder why people wait so long ? You can’t miss many of these things and if they say they don’t see it …I often wonder do they even play or hold the munchkin. If you do you would see it. You do such a great great job!!! Lovingly and caring . 💕💕💕
thanks Saskia!! 😭❤️
