Harry's fairytale happy ending was short lived. It seems his short times outdoors (from home to car, car to meeting place, meeting place to car, and car to new home), even wrapped in a blanket and nestled inside my daughter's coat resulted in a full blown upper respiratory issue. He was happy and healthy when he left home, but this morning he's become quite ill. His rattle that he had when he first arrived last year is back, but now he has goopy nose and runny eyes, which he never had before. I'm in panic mode stocking up on Vitamin C for the little guy. The vet is on speed dial in case he's not showing improvement by Monday. That said, the fairytale dream home isn't going to waste. They'll be adopting a different, younger guinea pig (the crested that we picked up last month when we went on our big pig run).
Here's to Harry - and I hope he has a speedy recovery. That little cavy stole my heart and I'm crushed to hear that he's sick again. I'll do everything within my power to make sure he gets whatever care he needs to make a full recovery.
