My dramatic weekend update

[mer]

Weekends are way too short to spend two hours digging a fecal plug out of a guinea pig's butt.

OMG THE STINK.

And I didn't even succeed.

Well, it's sort of created by too much looseness, if you know what I mean. It's not actually his poo, but the pellets that need to be re-eaten to be fully digested. Too many "good" foods (ie, fresh veggies, the ones with the nutrients but also the ones with all the cellulose) and not enough hay and pet store pellets, I guess. Supposedly. Possibly also too much fruit.

So.

Anyway, my efforts have at least allowed a release of the pressure valve, so to speak. We may have to go to the vet to get the thing fully removed. Or develop a lot more patience and get our noses cauterized.
