Here is Tink,she has been through alot in the past few years.Last year she had some sort of internal infection that killed her sister and it took Tink a week or more or nursing and antibiotics to pull through.This year she got a massive eye infection and she had to have her eye removed.She is doing well now,God bless her and my wife for pulling her through it.11222

LOL Is that a little collar on her to prevent scratching? Poor little thing.

My kids had guinea pigs when they were little and all I had to do was open the refrigerator door and away they would go.......begging like crazy.

Kudos to you all!! Most people would give up on a little guinea pig!! I had one when I was in my teens -- his name was squeaky!! in the summer he played out with the rabbit (bugs) in the rabbit pen!! There were the best of friends -- one night we had a really cold night -- unexpected and squeaky caught pnuemonia and died -- bugs made it but we think he died of loneliness as he was not the same after. In the winter months the rabbit pen was moved to the basement.
so I admire your wife for taking the time and money to take care of tink!!!

Yep, unlucky to have an eye infection so bad that it requires removal, but what a loving family to belong to that actually care enough that Tink has the best possible life!
