Rescuing Cali, the Guinea Pig ❤

Look what some stupid shitbag human DUMPED into the Prairie Dog enclosure @ Kiwanis Park! Some asshole piece of shit abandoned their pet GUINEA PIG in the Prairie Dog house! She was so scared! It took myself and a helper about 15-20 min of chasing her around on our stomachs under a heavily branched cedar tree to get her in a net.Show more

Thankfully, we got to her before one of the substantially larger and territorial Prairie Dogs (squirrels) did. She had no concept of running into a burrow though, because she's not a prairie dog. She was out in the open on the concrete footer of the enclosure wall when she was spotted, but then she ran under a very dense tree when the woman who called me tried to catch her. Since I got her home and she calmed down, she's been very cuddle-able. She's calm being held and squeaks like a little toy when being scratched or petted. Other than having a little crud in her ears and a little bit of a runny nose and sniffles (maybe from being abandoned overnight in the cold) she is otherwise healthy and fine. She's too clean to have been there very long. The moron who dumped her there probably did it yesterday or last night. If an adult was involved, boy I'd love to get my hands on them.

The family who helped me catch her agreed to foster her until I could get her adopted to a permanent home. But after only one night with them, they decided they wanted to adopt her. ❤ They named her "Cali" because she's calico. As prep for adopting her out to them, I treated Cali with ivermectin for any parasites, and got her started on a week of enrofloxacin, because she had a small abrasion on her right forelimb, and some apparent dried blood in her ears.
