    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♥️♥️♥️

      @@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. :(

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 . 💕💕💕

    back and said it wasn't fair having one on its own. Gave her money for another girl..... first ginny turns out to be a boy, then we had 2 babies. We now have 4 piggys and I love them and spoil them. I got rid off all the furniture in my conservatory and this is now their home. I watch all your videos so I know we are doing the right thing for them

    I am grateful to have found your channel, dear Saskia and team. My vet did not know what it was and now I can look after my beloved Lulu properly. I was told to bathe her daily in Betadine. That did not feel right for some reason. I did not feel well-advised, either. Mind you, no blame, piggie ARE special in many ways, after all. And being familiar with all animals is much to ask. However, finding a vet that is specialised in rabbits and guip's is not easy in my country. Your input is much appreciated. It is a shame that over here, these lovely creatures are to be found in many people's homes, and the vets do not know enough about them, unlike cats and dogs. Thank you for sharing your understanding of these wonderful beings.

    My guineapig developed ringworm I applied human ringworm cream/paste and she was back to normal in a week!! it’s a life saver and so cheap.
    Thankyou saskia. (I followed the video)

    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.
