I have someone very close to me who is soft, fuzzy, and a great friend. This is my wonderful pet guinea pig. He is not dead yet, but has a infection of some sort. The vet thinks the has a parasite and my little Cinni is on a parasite medication called Revolution. My little buddy has been losing a lot of fur over the weeks and has some scabs. I love my little buddy so much and do not want him to die. But if he is in a lot of pain he might have to be put down. I'll keep you posted.
