Yesterday I got a call from someone who found a Guinea pig in a box next to a dumpster and were not able to care for it. So I drove over to take the guinea pig home, and when I got there I could clearly see the poor animal was very thin and COVERED in mange. So I drove to the emergency vet to get treatment for the little guy. Its so sad, he's not even a year old and already is a mess! I payed for the treatment and have to go back once a week for treatment until he gets better. I named him Oliver, and he is super sweet! He has sarcoptic mange, which is very serious and can transfer to humans. So I have him in the quarentine room until he gets better, and I have to use special products, gloves and clothing to handle him so that I don't get infected or transfer it to the other animals too!

You can tell how severe his case is.

Around his eye is most affected and painful area.
