The Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue got a message from an employee of a Pet and Feed store in Bakersfield. A customer had dropped off a very sick guinea pig to them and they attempted to nurse it back to health. However, after two months with little improvement, they reached out to our rescue. The guinea pig was much sicker than they realized and it was a miracle he had even survived. Volunteer Scotty swiftly drove to Bakersfield and brought the little guy back to Los Angeles. Los Angeles Guinea Pig director, Saskia, examined him and gave him treatment. He is now on the way to a full recovery
PREVENTATIVE You want to repeat Ivermectin treatments every 3 months or so. It prevents lice, mites and internal parasites. Even if you guinea pigs are not in touch with others they can still get these parasites. They lie dormant and will activate when the animal is under the weather, aging or under stress.
You can either put a drop on the ear of the injectable Ivermectin (though you don’t inject it just a pea sized drop on the outer skin of the ear) This is a great method if you have a lot of animals
You can use a horse wormer paste that contains Ivermectin and put a pea sized amount in their mouth. This is more economical if you have a small herd.
IVERMECTIN PASTE amzn.to/2NReUuq
TREATMENT Day one, pea sized amount in the mouth Day 4 pea size amount in the mouth and from there repeat once a week for 3 weeks.
IVERMECTIN DROPS amzn.to/36TH3ZO
TREATMENT Day one, drop on the ear. Day 4 drop on the ear and from there once a week for 3 weeks.

Why do mites cause guinea pigs to seize?
I love this channel
@@BobbyGeee that is due to the intense itching. Mites are microscopic parasites that burrow under the skin feasting on skin cells
A used racing greyhound truck is perfect for guinea pigs
We need to get Scott a guinea pig ambulance. Kinda like the ghost busters repurposed ambulance. Then Scott can turn on the siren when driving and it can make a wheek sound to the siren rythm.
Haha ... love that ! Is a great visual
The Wheek Wagon!!!
The Wheek mobile
Guinea wheekers! 😆
Yeah that would be really 😎 and they would definitely see him coming ♥
Oh that is terrible, poor little man. Always makes me so sad that in this day and age with a wealth of info on the internet at the tip of your fingers, piggies still suffer from very treatable issues needlessly. Wish everyone taking in a pet would research about ALL possible illnesses, what is common and find an exotic vet to help. In a perfect world I know. I just think back to when I first got guinea pigs and knew nothing because we had no internet and now, can find SO much info on every subject.
Right same here - there was no internet but now most answers and / or solutions are a click away.
😭❤️😀🐖 thanks for what u guys do!
I know, btw your channel is the best guinea pig channel I have ever seen. I was thinking of getting guinea pigs and then I saw your channel and your piggies and decided I definitely wanted guinea pigs 🤩
skinnypigs1 yup, you are so right!!!
Does coconut oil help or not for this? Poor thing! I want to cry i feel like hes mine look how tiny he is awe how is he?
My guinea pig princess passed away on 14.6.23 sadly from mange/ mites. Went to check on her in the cage in the morning and she was dead. Was going to give her treatment but very sad she has gone to heaven. I miss her so much 🥰🥰😭😭😭😭 i loved her so much.
What terrible people neglecting a BABY guinea pig. This is heart breaking, praying that this baby will pull through!
Gliezel Fernando they didnt neglect him did you not hear them? The owner was trying to wash him and everything
kayla janae the people bathing him were the pet store owners. The original owners abandoned him and gave him to the pet store.
Abandoning him would have just been setting it free. They took it where they thought they could help it.
@@lauradees4625 domestic guinea pigs can't survive in the wild. It's just like you abandone a dog. They NEED humans to survive. They need our care. It's with al the domestic animals like rabbit's, dogs, guinea pigs, cats...
@@stienengelaar3857 and?? I stand by my comment. They could have let them go if they didn't care. They instead found a caregiver.
Can you imagine for one second being so miserable and uncomfortable that you go into a seizure. I'm sure that with every movement of every single hair, the pain and desire to scratch would be excruciating! I sure that's why his little thunder shirt helps, it helps hold the hair in place as well as providing comfort. Poor little guy. I think you should name him Huey but Nails is cool too. To bad they waited so long to get help. This poor little guy has been on his own with no one to cuddle and probably little to no human interaction. So sad 😢 he's looking better. Thank you Scotty and Saskia. It broke my heart when he had his seizure😖
since they're so small their nervous system works so fast, usually the pain we feel is more drawn out and chronic, the pain they feel is a lot quicker and sharp and all at once like a bomb going off :(
Its so hard to watch him seizure after seizure. Bless you and Saskia for saving that tiny life. Can you name him Christmas or Noel since he came to you around the Holiday? :(
Poor little baby, I feel soooooo bad for him. Please Scotty keep us updated on Nails! I know you will take care of him and get him all better.
Thank you so much for this video.
I have been wallowing in my own pain over losing Puddles and Bunny. But watching little Nails reminds me of why we rescue and how important it is.
Paw prayers for him and all the piggies at LAGPR ….and for you to stay healthy and strong.
I just seen u on Hannah cerys video lol hiii!!✌😂
@@piggykingdom9794 yes I love her videos and also Erin's Ark!
So sorry you lost your babies. I lost my little Keeky last Tuesday.
Oh those painful squeaks break my heart 💔 I had a pig who started having seizures last summer, that was hard to watch. Hope he makes a speedy recovery x
I hope he/she will get better... I can't imagine...
Guiena pigs, I see them as my own child. They are wonders to have in your life, this little guy will be better because god is with the cutie
Oh my heart 💔 when Saskia quickly grabbed him when he went into seizure to comfort and hold him in case he didnt come out of it. Good luck little piggle! You're in good hands!!!
Poor little piggie, so glad he is with you now.
My piggie would get seizures too - it was scary. We'd try to comfort him and relax him, but I was terrified of losing him. He had a fungal infection and we've been coming back to the vet for a year or so .It'd get better for a while then worse and when he'd have the seizures we would come back. We'd give him baths, vitamins, antibiotics. Last time he also got some injection tho I don't remember what it was. Finally he's itch-free, happy and healthy. We thoght we'd never cure him. But we made it! So if you're struggling with something similar - don't give up!
How can the store have kept that pig like that for two whole months? Make no sense at all.
I was thinking the same thing. Why didn’t they call sooner?!!!!
That’s neglect on their part.
And how could the store wait 2 weeks to call with the poor piggy having seizures??
Omg... makes me so upset
God Bless you and Scotty.
I Love you both.
My pain tolerance is low, and just watching an animal in pain is so hard.
If I had to do the work you do, just trying to make him better, I would be crying every time I heard him cry.
Thank God for people like you and Scotty for all the Love you have in your beautiful hearts.
Weekly?!? Can't we have daily updates on this wee trooper?
You guys do such great things and you never turn down a Pig even if u think u don't have room that's great... Most places would send him else where but you make room for them. There needs to be more people like u in the world
My daughter got her first pig a few months back and her name is Biscuit lol.
How is your piggie doing? I hope she has a friend
Piggies are social animals and can get very depressed and ill without at least one friend! Please get Biscuit a friend!
His little wheeks of pain were heartbreaking. Thank you for helping him to heal
This is a year later from when Scotty 1st rescued tough boy Nails with the seizures. Glad now that he has been healed and got adopted by Scotty. On that video, it showed Scotty driving to Bakersfeild and showed the California valley. It is beautiful there. Scotty is a saint for helping with all these cute guinea pigs and Saskisa is too. God bless both of them. I love guinea pigs too. I used to have Cockitiels like Scotty. Parakeets too. My birthday was on Monday May 4th 2020. My mom paid for s new cage, the Midwest for my birthday and I have the rest of supplies and I am getting another Guinea pig or pigs as soon as this Caronavirus slows down.
His life is going to get so much better!
Very sad, on in my opinion no excuse for this. You all are angels for what you do. Thank you for taking the time to film and educate. I've learned so much. Now I've adopted to piggies of my own.
Awe! So sad, those seizures are so awful to watch...I’ve been through this with one of my boys and it took awhile but fully recovered thanks to you all..your awesome for taking this trip! Ivermectin and Benadryl he’ll be good to go..lots of love piglet
:)
OMG my heart cries out for the lil guy..he is a real Trooper (is what i would call him)..now he is with you i know he will pull thru.. For all of you a merry christmas and hopefully a easy 2019....XOXO from the Netherlands en a hugg for the lil Trooper
did you understand Saskia?
:D oh yes i do..we even had a chat together..she still spreaks and write dutch very well
@@ScottysAnimals ja zij kan Saskia erg goed begrijpen
I wish my late guinea pigs were this tough. I didn't know what fly strike was. I have autism and clinical depression and I got pets for company. B'lanna and Tribble died about a year apart. Turns out the flies were "scatella stagnalis" shore flies. They're a greenhouse pest. I struggled for years to ID these flies. Turns out they're pesticide resistant. They have relatives living on the shores of Mona Lake in California. If their distant cousins are tough enough to withstand a lake full of arsenic, what chance did my pigs have? I wrapped them up in clean rags with a treat and brought them to a nearby river, laying them under a tree that was later chopped down by a beaver. My vet charges 40$ TO CREMATE A DEAD PET! And that's WITHOUT a necropsy.
I've had ringworm before. It's MADDENING. I can imagine what that AND mange feel like. IIIIICKKK! As for his resliancy, I chalk it up to his youth. You know the only two people who have survived symptomatic rabies have been a child and a teenager. Both were put in medically induced comas to try and stall for time until their immune systems could make antibodies. The teenager had to learn how to do everything over again, walk, talk, dress, eat, she was 21 when she finally was recovered enough to learn to drive. I bet it's the neuro plasticity.
Get well soon nails I will be PRAYING for you Love you nails
I have never wanted to adopt another guinea pig more then I do now......
...
Poor piggie doesn't know if he's in heaven, because he sees Saskia. I would love to be taken care of like all the guinea pigs at her!
How can people do this to animals???? I don't understand.... thanks God there are people like Saskia and Scotty
I wonder if maybe the pet store worker's trying to care for him as best she could, even if it wasn't perfect, was what kept him alive those two months? She was bathing him, so that must have kept down the chance of infection, even if it would have been painful for poor Nails. And even though he wasn't gaining any weight, he was still getting enough energy from his food to fight the illness; so she must have been feeding him well. Maybe the lesson we can take from this is that caring is better than not caring, but it's important to know when to ask for help.
He’s such a Champ!
My Guinea pig we thought she had mites so we got the horse paste but later figured out that it was ringworm that is getting so much better
Poor guy!!! Very lucky he lasted for them to finally call you Scotty! Your such a great guy with a big heart Scotty!
my heart ached so much each time he cried
I already love him to pieces!!! Thank you thank you thank you so much not only for getting him, but also for spreading this great information that will help prevent other piggies from suffering with this! This happy ending is better than any Christmas special on TV right now for me!! Merry Christmas, Scotty! Merry Christmas, Nails!! (Although I like the name Rudolf for him because he has a little red nose and is over coming adversity!)
Oh I rescued one with mange. He had seizures and screamed for at least two months. I work for a vet so I got him all the Care. I took care of him and worked with him and he was terrified to be touched and would hide and would not eat. But now he is healthy and maybe a little overweight. His hair is full and beautiful and he is my little knight in shining armor. I'm so in love with him that I take him to work with me. My dogs and my cat love him and he loves them and he is part of our family and as I am typing this he is laying in his little bed behind the couch taking a nap. I let him out when I'm home. I got videos on my channel of him. I just never knew I could be so in love with a little guinea pig. His name is Piggy Smalls and he snuggles into my neck and gives me kisses for hours ♥️♥️♥️
Scotty you take him home please!! You will mend that little boy fast with all love care you give. Xoxo. Scotty you have the healing touch towards animals❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Its truly heartbreaking to see them suffering and neglected. Please forgive me I can’t watch the rest of this video it’s to heart breaking
Poor Sweet piggie. You guys are ahhhhhhhmazeing....
Made it like 1/3 of the way through, heart breaking like you said feel helpless. How I feel about my wife and her autoimmune conditions, instantly hit me and couldn’t finish it. It’s amazing you gave him the best years of his life. Now I can’t stop crying knowing Nails is gone, haven’t even been able to order his tshirt because I can’t mentally. R.I.p Nails
Scottie...you so need to keep him lol. He is adorable! Thanks to you and Saskia for all the great work you always do!
Merry Christmas to you, Saskia, all the volunteers, staff and piggies at the rescue!!
Lora you saw into the future 👁👁
OMG. If I was out there, I'd adopt him in a heartbeat. Poor baby!
Good to know about the vets missing it. I've had so many pigs with just exactly those symptoms. Poor babies, I had no clue....
He looks like he's feeling better, but he also looks like he's -so tired- (god, can you imagine?)
This video saved my Guinea pig Sophie's life! Did the horse paste treatment. After first treatment shes up in weight from 504g to 842g in less then a week and no more seizures. 2 more doses left. Hoping shes back to 100% for her 3rd birthday on 9/20. Thank you so much!
i knew i was gonna cry when i clicked this video, and i am. i feel so bad for this little baby, especially when you caught him seizing on video. im so glad lil nails is okay! ; _ ;
seeing him recovered made me wanna shove my face into his fur. hes like a little caramel potato i love them so much
wot an adorable wee piggy hessooo gorgeous god bless him Hess tough wee cookie live him sooo much bless you nails and I'm pleased he's coming on good I was very much tearful all through his wee story bless u sweat pea xx
What a kind hearted person you are Scotty ❤️ thank you so much for what you do and keep on doing for these little creatures! Saskia what a beautiful person you are inside and out❤️ Merry Christmas!
I looked after a little dog who was like this. Runt of the litter and just total failure to thrive. I made sure that he got medical attention and the treatment that he needed and nursed him back to health. He needed extra care to help his immune system and he never grew as big as his littermates, but he is generally healthy now and loved, now his owner has had some education.
I adopted a baby pig like this from BUNS in Santa Barbara. She was so bad, she had to have surgery before I could adopt her. She survived and lived happily ever after with us.
I love BUNS
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue right! Been adopting there for over a dacade.
Bless it's baby heart. Breaks my heart. I got 2 new pigs from Petsmart last Wednesday, because my 4 yr. old guinea pig died. Apparently, one has mange mites and ringworm. He's miserable, and I'm treating him with ivermectin behind the ear, and benadryl. I cried as I put neosporin on his pitiful little back wounds from scratching. Wrapping him with a sock and vet bandage has been awful...he hates it. I haven't had a pig with mange before, so I was treating him for ringworm. I watched your videos, and know what's wrong now. As a precaution, I put ivermectin behind the other pigs' ears, too. Thank you for caring for sweet pigs. You're helping so many who love and care for them.
Bless its heart. Thank you. I
bought a shih tzi
once from a breeder and he had mange. After 500. to find out the problem the med was 45. . He was cleared up in 3 days.
oh god im cryin for the poor guy.
Mange one of the most itchy irritating condition have seen dogs and other animals on utube with this ,poor mite thank you for driving all this was,too rescue him.
Beautiful view! Glad you guys are able to help the poor thing. Name Rocky! For the Rocky movies cause he's a fighter. Keep us posted on him. Merry Christmas to you all. He knows you're helping him.
Don't tell me one of your lovable one's are sick I hope and pray that they make it alive and well and recovery goes well enough to come back home to you🕆😔🕆
Animal Wonders Montana just uploaded a great video on Guinea Pig care. Don't know if you guys have seen it. I'm glad there's some more good info on piggies out there!
how could anyone not like this video? These guys are guinea pig heroes.
Sad :( I got 7 of them...how can anyone neglect the smart poor babies
Watching theses videos of guinea pigs makes me miss my guinea pig, she died a few months ago and I still miss her:(
Ik kan niet zeggen hoe blij ik van je word ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Saskia maar ook Scotty 🤗
You are a Hero!
Everyday I watch at least 3 of your videos
Never thought I’d love piggies so much
You had so much to do with how well and how much I love my piggies.
Drove to LA Genes pig rescue to meet Sasha
Watch out I’m gonna find and HUG you next
Thanks ❤️Scotty
Hugs!
RIP Nails. He received the best life due to your expert care.
Poor baby can’t wait to see him healthy
I remember when my pet guinea pig had severe seizures about 2 times a day. He was close to dying about 5 times and I cried everyday. Luckily, we did everything we could and he made it alive. :)
Wow, very well done. I hope he's still well 😘♥️💕
That poor piggie! I'm literally crying because of how much pain he's in. You just have no idea how sweet you sound when talking about those piggies. Thanks for helping the poor little thing. People think piggies are no fun. They are horribly wrong! Piggies are so much fun! They have feelings and character. You can train your piggies too! My sister and I had several growing up. We were emotionally damaged when we found out people eat these! Nnnooooo!! We had a lot of fun with these sweet animals. I would recommend getting a kid a piggie. Please keep us updated on him.
I rescued a little one off of Kijiji from a farm, she had really bad mange. Took 2 fungal baths, 5 visits to a vet for ivermectin drops and injections before the mange was finally gone. She still can be touchy/bitey if you touch her butt, belly or chin where the mange was, and been cured for 7 months. So it could take a while for the baby to be adoptable.
Love you guys! You are amazing people! So glad this piggie is in the right hands. I've lost my piggie due to a unknowable vet. God bless you all.
Nails is precious!
What a brave little fighter! It was heartbreaking to see him in such a horrible state, but it is a miracle that he survived for such a long time. Sadly, many vets don't know anything about small pets. I have rat boys and it almost impossible to find a vet that really knows how to treat rats. One of my guys had mites and the vet didn't want to believe me and gave me the wrong medication. Now I have to drive for over an hour to what's pretty much the only rat specialist here in Berlin. And this is by far the largest city here in Germany, I don't want to imagine how it must be when you're living in a small town.
My guinea pigs should be grateful rn there fed and well groomed lol but this is sad 😢 poor guy makes my heart crack
One of my GP's had the mites and loss of hair and he also was doing seizures and it scared the hell out of me he would be standing there eating and flop on his side and shacking so yes I lost my shit a 55 yr old man crying bcuz of fear of losing one of my GP's so my wife called the vet the next morning and we took Kilo and Gizmo and got them some shots and omg he immediately stopped having seizures and started his way back to recovery and now the both of them are in absolute great shape 👍🏾
“Maybe I’ll foster him for a couple weeks….” This video is why I named my first parakeet after you, Scotty.
I have only been a fan of you guys since the first time I saw your channel and it’s heartbreaking what these guinea pigs have to go through.I have two guinea pigs and it was my dream I love my guinea pig so much but I hope your guinea pigs get better.
1 like=pray for this guinea pig to be okay
I never knew anything about guinea pigs I just thought they were skittish weird animals but after my really old hamster died I decided guinea pigs would be cool so I found the Oregon guinea pig rescue and I learned so much and now I have two sweet hearts that are so friendly and are both fixed so I never have to worry about them and I’m so happy I have them I will definitely be getting more in the future
This poor little baby needs a kind heart like yours. Nails is so sweet! I’m hoping to see more of him, fell in love at first sight.
Scottie I am so glad that you are doing the work that you are doing. May your life be great to match what you do.
This was such a difficult video to watch but amazing to see Nails only 24 hours later quite obviously having made a big approvement already. Thank you (and LA Guinea Pig Rescue) for all your efforts x
You guys are so amazing, bless your souls!💝
Your amazing Scotty!
You guys are amazing
He is just darling 😍 merry Christmas!
Thank you Saskia for informing us all about the horse wormer! I've always said that piggies were just like horses just really tiny! They get all the same problems! And nobody ever stops to think about it!
Thank you both for all ya'll do for these sweet babies.❤❤
Precious little thing😘
Awesome recovery.
Thanks for what you do Scotty.
baby boy rest over the rainbow bridge you found the right owner to give you a great 2 more yrs💔
Thank you both to save this little pigggie"s life. Great job ! All my love to you Guys.
I really want to be there in la and looking after piggy’s, when I am older it’s my dream to volunteer to work at the la rescue but sadly I’m only 12 living in the uk and even if the rescue is open in 6 years (which I rlly hope it is) I will still never be able to afford a place in la 😔 maybe one day I can start a rescue in England and partner with you guys 🙂
Ps. My piggy’s are actually crazy they are called burrito and taco 🤣
Sending love from the uk - Katie 🥰
I love you guys. You are Angels on Earth ❤
Poor Nails, I wasn't even planning on watching this again, knowing what happened, but it showed up in the thumbnails on the side. Survived being in such awful condition. I can only imagine how much pain and discomfort he was in and how long he had been suffering so. I think the damage was already done from having been in this condition too long. I hate pet stores. they let this go so long and didn't know how to help him. At least you guys cleared all this up and made his suffering go away and he got to live longer than he would have. Still makes me sad seeing this now.
Bless your guinea pig loving hearts
That poor baby, it's so upsetting to see him in pain but I hope that he gets better and has a happy life. Such a sweet pig xx
You guys rock😘😘😘😘😘
Speedy recovery
Bless you Scott! What you do is amazing👍 I love hearing awesome recovery stories, looks piggy is going to be fine 🙌
Poor lil guy ....you’re my heroes ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for saving them x 🙏🏻
Aww sweet little piggy i feel so sorry for him thank you so much for saving him and doing what you can to make him feel better i love guinea pigs so much this is heart breaking
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you do to save these lil guys’ lives and educate people 💖💕 I hope the team and all the piggies have a lovely holiday season! 🎁
Merry Christmas! Please get better, Nails!
Awww poor baby! What a cutie, I hope he got better and a good home! ❤️
Oh my I can’t wait for his update video!! What a sweet piggie!
