Love them so much ❤️

I had three guinea pigs growing up , now that I’m in my 30’s & I have two more .. it’s just so much better , I can spoil them & give them everything and more ! Also showing my children that caring for an animal is so much more than picking up after them & feeding them . It’s understanding them & respecting their feelings , that they don’t always want to be held & they each have different personalities ! I’m just filled with joy seeing how happy they are & I truly believe they are my emotional support piggies & make me whole 🩷😭

Are they Bonding alright ?

They have been together for over 12 hours , will have a bigger cage to move them in on Monday if all goes well if not separate but close quarters . Does this all look normal ? Just some chasing & rumble strutting & a lot of chatter lol ! Milo & Moon Pie ❤️

Traumatic experience

My poor goldfish I’ve had for 3 years got stuck side ways by the gills in this car decoration I have in my tank . I noticed he was struggling so I had to reach in and grab the car and push him back through . It damaged some of his gills but he was pretty much bleeding and dying I had to do something . He is swimming around fine now but that scared me so bad ! Is he going to be ok ? I put aquarium salt in my tank to help with infection

▲ 2 r/POTS

I am 30 (F) dealing with so many new issues . It started last May when I had my gallbladder removed. A few months after I seemed fine but after the initial surgery my Heart rate went up like crazy and my chest hurt for a few weeks . Went back to working out and daily routines . Few months after I was very fatigued all the time and could barely get through daily tasks. In February of this year I had a colonoscopy & than in April a endoscopy.. this is where it’s been absolutely awful . I stressed to my dr after my colonoscopy that my heart rate and blood pressure sky rocketed and I have been very dizzy . She did the POTS test ( lie down , sit up , stand up ) my bpm went for 70’s to 125 . Waiting to go into cardiologist Friday to get a halter monitor . After my endoscopy in April I told the anesthesiologist that I was being worked up for POTS , he said that the procedure shouldn’t mess with it at all .. the next day I was so very sick .. nausea, stomach pain , headaches and near fainting . A week later I got so dizzy I fell and hit my head went to ER where they pretty much told me I need to get the POTS diagnosed with the cardiologist as soon as possible . My dr ended up putting me on propranolol 10mg until we get it figured out .. it hasn’t helped much and the dizziness, near fainting , headaches and heart rate still seem to be a big problem . I’ve had my mom staying with me while she can because I have 3 kids and am scared to do simple things like drive and care for them at this point . Just looking for some advice on what I can expect at this cardiologist visit and if there is hope they will get this figured out soon .. my bpm goes from 45-185 through day . I’ve been taking it easy and not going to gym so no reason it should be getting this high ..
