Plastic Bead Alert

BEAD ALERT! Remarkable things seem to have happened in pairs of two this weekend at Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue. As well as two chirping guinea pigs we also had two pigs come in with serious dental issues. A red one and green one. Plastic child play beads that is. If you have a child who has these beads please check your guinea pig. Routine health checks one a surrendered pig and a guinea pig that came by this weekend to find a friend revealed plastic beads stuck on the bottom incisor. The red bead pig seemed not to be affected by it too much, the green one however was miserable and also developed an overgrown front incisor as a result. Both have now been relieved of their beads, the green bead pigs teeth trimmed and both are doing a lot better. Watch those beads people!
