      I love ear cleaning videos. All types of ears. I’m not a fan of guinea pigs but I’ve seen some good cleaning videos of their ears lately. Why do you think we like them so much? What do you think about these videos appeals to us? Cuz I have no ideas why I love these types of videos. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I love what all you do for guinea pigs and Dr.Nenn. I understand why she won't be there on Saturdays, but I kind of hate that she won't be. I do totally understand why. Spending time with family is important. I get it. Going to miss seeing her on the lives, but hoping we'll get to see her in your regular videos during the week. I just feel like having a vet there at your rescue and on camera with what she does there will hopefully get more vets to get to know you and exchange knowledge. More vets could really learn so much more about guinea pig care. On any hand. It is because of the awesome work you do and your dedication to rescuing and caring for a guinea pigs and educating people on this,. It shows in your work. Whether its stone removal, teeth trimming, to puss removal etc, that you do certainly have the respect from some vets and many, many people. This the best guinea pig advice out there and it is so appreciated.💯🐹🐹

    Teddies and yes some of them get extra ear dirt, some more then others. Also dry ears. I don’t think it’s gross nit to wear gloves. Gloves would definitely hinder this process. I don’t wear them either..great video..🐾💜🐾

    Aww she looks like my Late Nugget girl! Except She was a brighter orange and had some white on her head and neck. She had this same thing, Also a Teddy. I never knew they were prone to that! She had flaky skin as well. My Mom said that it looked fungal too, interesting enough. She might’ve been on to something! We had to give her ear drops from the vet, and massage. It helped break that up, helped her feel so much better. Having ear issues like myself, I felt so bad for her. I worry It was my doing with the ear stuff. I sure hope not. My Family and I loved that sweet Angel, such a big beautiful piggy. She was so so good with my younger siblings, I miss her. She had to be put to sleep a few days before Christmas in 2020, one of the hardest days of my life. Miss You, Sweet Nugget! I Hope this sweet little piggy feels better very soon, looks like you’re already helping her! You all do so much for these beautiful little angels, it touches my heart and soul. Lots of Love to everyone and their precious piggies! ❤️
