How much Critical Care should I give my 1.6lbs guinea pig?

He hasn’t been eating so his vet suggested I give him Critical Care, I’m at a loss at how much to give him. I don’t want to give him too little, and I don’t want to give him too much. The package only says mix 1 part Critical Care with 2 parts water..But that doesn’t help me very much.

Any other suggestions of foods to help feed him? He’s having trouble eating. Would it be alright to give him applesauce, or yogurt?

I have a few questions..?

I just bought a guinea pig from a local pet store 2 days ago. Well, she was mixed in with her brother & 2 other guinea pigs from another litter. I do know that one of the guinea pigs from the other litter was a female but, not sure of the other guinea pig’s sex. Well, I was wondering if she could be pregnant? I called my vet & they said they can’t get pregnant until their 1 1/2 years old! I looked online & it said younger. I’m VERY confused. I asked the pet store how old she was & they didn’t even know how old she was.

My other question is that I have fleas in my house because I also own a dog & a cat. When I first got my kitten (Almost 3 months ago) she already had fleas. Well, it brought fleas in my house & I’ve been trying to get rid of them for that whole time now. We got a dog about 2 1/2 weeks ago & now the dog has fleas. Well, I believe their in the carpet now. I bought a "bomber" to bomb the fleas yesterday.
Well, the only problem I have with bombing is that my cat & dog have fleas. So, if I bomb the house the fleas in the house will be gone but once I bring my dog & cat back in, there will be fleas once again!

What should I do?
Another thing about Allison (My guinea pig) is that she sneezes all the time.

I bought a guinea pig before & she sneezed all the time. She ended up dying & I only had her for about 4 months. And I have NO idea why. I just came home one day & she had passed away.
Should I be worried about her sneezing?

Another good joke……?

There once was a farmer who needed his pigs to mate. So he went to the closest vet and told him his problem. The farmer was confused by all the big words the vet was useing, so he just nodded his head like he understood. The next morning the farmer had gotten an idea. He took all his pigs and loaded them up in his truck and took them to an open field where he had sex with them all. The next morning, as soon as the farmer woke up, he ran to the window to see if his pigs were mating. But unfortunatly they weren’t. So the farmer tried again that day. He loaded them up in the truck, took them to the same field and had sex with them all. The farmer woke up in bed the next morning and asked his wife if the pigs were mating. As the wife looked out the window, she replied "No, they’re all in the truck and one of’em is honking the horn!"
give star if u like plz :p

#3, a really nice one….a little long but worth reading it, don't you think?

A farmer buys several pigs, hoping to breed them for ham and bacon. After several weeks, he notices that none of the pigs are getting pregnant, and calls a vet for help. The vet tells the farmer that he should try artificial insemination.
The farmer doesn’t have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, he only asks the vet how he will know when the pigs are pregnant. The vet tells him that when pregnant, they will stop standing around and will, instead, lay down and wallow in the mud. The farmer hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the pigs.
So, he loads the pigs into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back and goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the pigs. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn’t take, and loads them in the truck again.
He drives them out to the woods, banged each pig twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed.
Next morning, he wakes to find the pigs still standing around. One more try, he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the pigs, and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.
The next morning, he was woken up by his wife shaking him and saying "Wake up Dear, the pigs are acting strangely!". "What do you mean?" he asked excitedly, "Are they wallowing in the mud?" "No, " she says, "they’re all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn."

cau you rate this joke?

a farmer decides he wants to breed his pigs so he decides to take them to the vet . the vet tells the farmer that they need to be insemenated. Not wanting to sound stupid the farmer nods and leaves. he had no idea what that meant . so the next day , the farmer goes out to the pig pen scratching his head and decides that the vet meant he had to have sex with them. so he loads the pigs into the back of his pick-up and drives them out to the woods. after half an hour of bangin the hogs he drives em back and puts them in the pen. the next day the farmer goes out to the pen and decides he didn’t do such a good job and loads the pigs back into the pick-up. this goes on for the next three days. on the fourth day the farmer goes out to the pen and finds the pigs all missing. he runs back to the house and yells for his wife"honey….all the pigs are gone." she responds, "no…they’re out in your truck, honking the horn for you."

What do you do if your guinea pig has eaten plastic?

My guinea pig has slightly chewed up the corner of a plastic bag. I’m really worried that his digestive system might not be able to handle the plastic. What should I do? Should I contact a vet?

joke for friends?

A farmer buys several pigs, hoping to breed them for ham, bacon,
etc. After several weeks, he notices that none of the pigs are
getting pregnant. He decides to call a local vet for advise. The vet
tells the farmer that he should try artificial insemination. The
farmer doesn’t have the slightest idea what the, Vet means. Not
wanting to display his ignorance, he only asks the vet how he will
know when the pigs are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will
stop standing around, and will instead, lay down and wallow in the
mud when they are pregnant. The farmer hangs up and gives it some
thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination
means he has to impregnate the pigs himself. So he loads the pigs
into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them
all, brings them back home and goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes
and looks out at the pigs.

Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that
the first try didn’t take, and loads them into his truck again. He
drives them out to the woods, bangs each pig twice for good measure,
brings them back and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes to find the pigs still just standing
around. "One more try" he tells himself, and proceeds to load them
up and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the
pigs and, upon returning home, falls into bed.

Next moming, he can’t even raise himself from the bed to look at the
pigs. He asks his wife to look out and tell him if the pigs are
laying in the mud."No" she says, "they’re all in the truck and one
of them’s honking’ the horn!"

How do I make my guinea pig gain weight?

My guniea pig is underweight b/c of malocclusions. He has seen the vet many times and he is now on a soft food/ liquid diet. I am trying olive oil, hemp protein powder, fruits, mashed up pellets, etc.. I am studying nutrition so I am pretty familiar w/ food and health, but I want to make sure I’m doing all I can do. Also, is it okay to give him the extra virgin olive oil?
