Sick guinea

[PeepsCA]

She looks good to me, not sick, depressed or droopy looking, YaY!
Yes, putting the crate in the coop is a good idea for re-integration, maybe even keep her in it over night in there so she can get acclimated to the cold again, but still be sheltered in her crate. Is there any way you can secure the lamp in the coop for a few nights in case she needs it?

I have had Guineas lose a toenail and act pitiful for a few days after, depending on how they lost it and how traumatic it was, so who knows maybe she's just pouting over a broken nail, lol.

Glad she's improved, good job!

I had one loose a teeny patch of skin at the back of her neck when the raccoon took Miss Peggy's leg. That Guinea walked around all hunched up for about three or four days but was eating well.

I think she looks good and a nice looking guinea at that!

glad all is going well!

and I also think leaving her in the crate in their coop is a good idea....
PeepsCA always has great advice !

Excellent

You are officially a guinea Nurse!

Did you band her leg with a zip tie so you can tell her apart from the others in case she starts going downhill again?

Of course I forgot. I'm going to do it now. Right now she is the small on so it makes it easy. Thanks for the reminder.
