Radar has had another stroke

Laraine · 15-04-2009, 05:07 PM

Some of you may know that we have an elderly 12year old guinea pig called Radar, this morning when Richard went to put him outside in his enclosure he noticed something wrong. The little old man has had his 4th stroke and is paralysed down one side. I rang Hannah for advice straight away but she was in surgery. So I took him to the local vet, he had been given his injections and we should know in the next few days if he will survive. Previously the injections they have given him have worked, but the vet did warn that there was a possibility it may not work this time. My daughter got him when she was 12, and she is now 24, so he is a little old man for a guinea pig.

I really hope that Radar recovers well

My guinea pig Repunzel lived until she was 6 and I thought that was a good age,but Radar sounds amazing and well cared for xx
