http://www.livejournal.com/community/guinea_pigs/1002386.html Sorry for your loss. Stuff like this happens, vets for pets outside of cats and dogs can be hard to find, and their aliments are generally taken less seriously. Maybe if you still plan to have more guines you can find a vet who is sympathic and knowledable about small mammals like guines ahead of time?
Also, some people sometimes don't read the comments before posting, maybe you can edit post to explain that you did take the pigs to the vet before and attempted later too?
I thought my vet was competant, and I didn't expect to have any problems with the birth, as I've had births before here, difficult ones, too, and always handled it myself ok..the vet said that he would help if there were any problems with the birth, but these babies were ill after 4 days. They looked a little weak when they were born, but they were up and suckling, so I thought it best to leave them.
Anyway, thanks very much. I'll be leaving the guinea_pigs community, it's not for me.
