I like Dr K. I'm applying to be a poopie cleaner at her clinic. Glad we are gettting some "direction" in our fiasco.
Yep, that's just like what you can get done on psittacosis (now called chlamydiosis but the other ones still is more common to most people) on birds. You can get a titer (I thought that was the spelling) to see if your bird is still a carrier after recovery. Ours was, so that's why we only had one bird. Dr. Bruce Levine at Tustana Animal Hospital was treating him and does titers. Not sure if he would/could do a titer for this or not. He did all sorts of exotics, but mostly birds and reptiles (which is why we drove for 2 hours to take our bird to him).Apparently, one can do a blood titre (sp?) which would determine exposure to a certain organism.
Well, he's very good with birds... I hadn't heard anything about him with guinea pigs. But another warning, he's very expensive... does a lot of things and our bird had around $500 in vet bills there (friends thought I was nuts and said I could have gotten 100 more budgies for that much LOL). Also, a certain rabbit rescue *hint hint, wink wink* calls him "Dr.Hash and Slash" because he likes to do unnecessary surgeries to remove fatty tumors etc.
Ha ha! Just noticed this Chunky Piggies! So, is that like a kennel attendant? I keep hoping to get hired at the clinic I volunteer at, as a vet tech though. I'm thinking of giving up on that and trying out for dog bather though, or kennel attendant could be good (I get tricked into scooping poop a lot anyway, the first time one of the techs asked me if I wanted to "do a fun job that you get to go outside and be in the fresh air and walk around for awhile" and I got to clean up the dog walking area LOL).I like Dr K.

Hehe yea, Kennel attendent. Need a way to work myself up. Plus the ladies at Dr K's are really nice, so I wouldnt mind.
So very sorry about Rowan. He'll be remembered as a valued and blessed contributor to the cause, none the less. Just reviewed most of thread. Will say prayers for a continued positive outcome.
News.
Phyllis' culture came back negative for everything. No strep, staph, salmonella, etc. He said it's a "still" abscess.
What this means is that the 13 pigs in that room were not in danger from her and that, as far as we know, what the dumpster pigs have (whatever that may be--another problem to solve still) has not gone beyond them.
Whoooooooooooooo-hooooooooooooooooo!

CP and I went up and gave Phyllis her first cuddles since being here.
