Dr. Faust has a lot more experience than Dr. Selig, I think. However, in the last two years, I've been taking the pigs and such to Selig when I can't see Riggs (out of town a lot).
I'm much happier with faust. Not only his work he does with the animals, but as a person, too. I just have a good relationship with him.

I printed out the directions to his office already, and will definitely give him a try next time I need to take one of the girls in. I very much prefer vets who are as good with people as they are with animals. Riggs is nice enough, but not warm and fuzzy in the least.

Pistachio is doing really well. The eye is glued shut. He is not on any antibiotics.

We have about 130 guinea pigs in house and roughly 100 of those are adoptable. We use about $35 a week in bedding. $28 a week in food. $15 a week in hay. Plus veterinary and other odd expenses. We've just replaced about 25 water bottles as well, which was about $110. Any contribution is very helpful!

Looks like he's healing up well! Give him a kiss for me and tell him he's beautiful!

Pistachio is looking very handsome even in recovery.
I am not familiar with any eye-removal injuries, but the wound looks "clean and crisp".
Get well soon little Pistachio!

Was looking for this thread to see how long its been since Stash had his eye removed... So, update? It's been 2 years and Pistachio is still, well, Pistachio. Attitude galore, but he loves me and comes right to me to be handled (chatters and tries to bite anyone else! hahah!).
His eye socket has done nothing but seep fluid for the last 2 years despite tries at several antibiotics. We finally decided just to leave it be, and let it do what it needs to do to be a happy little leaky eye.
Pistachio weighs in at a hefty 3 pounds 1 ounce and loves his four male roomies. He will be 5 years old in January. His skin and coat have remained nice, no more lumps on his back since that one was removed with the eye. Hopefully he stays healthy!
He's a real character and I'm happy nobody else (that could adopt him, anyway!) saw his potential and he stayed with me :) Hehe!
Here is a picture of his "bad" side. Though, I think he's cute all over, despite his leaky stinkeye :)
And his good side
