1. Brother Zhu is okay, at least for the time being.

Brother Zhu hasn’t updated for two days, so many people asked,

Thank you for your concern. Brother Zhu is okay, at least. It's okay now.

Although as the epidemic gradually develops,

There are also traces of the activities of some confirmed cases near Brother Zhu.

But for now, there is no problem.

The main reason why I haven’t written an article is that Brother Zhu, who goes to work on time every day, suddenly doesn’t go out and is a little uncomfortable.

My biological clock is a bit messed up, and my work and rest schedules are messed up.

In addition, the heater has been burning really well recently, so I am a bit uncomfortable.

Also, I have not been doing my job on the Zhihu platform these days.

Answered some questions related to Shijiazhuang. Well, I will be back to answer pet questions in the past two days.

2. Getting food stuck in guinea pigs' food is a very common problem

Brother Zhu has been raising guinea pigs for 14 years, and he still has a row of guinea pigs.

Of course, including a reinforced company from foster care, there is no problem. Maybe he has experienced a lot.

So every time Brother Zhu says something, it is more common.

There are always people who say they have never encountered it.

But Brother Zhu thought about it and realized that it is actually relatively common for foreign objects to get stuck in Dutch pigs.

For example, for the ears that are still being raised at Brother Pig’s house, they have been raised for more than two years. It happened twice.

Of course, this is also a matter of probability. Some guinea pigs may never be encountered in your life.

But most guinea pigs will still be encountered.

The main things that get stuck are grain particles and straw.

There are also some other things, mainly the length and thickness, that cause the guinea pig to be unable to swallow or just get stuck. arrive.

Many people have questions, that is, why food does not get stuck when eating.

Because guinea pigs eat all grain and grass, why does the food they eat every day get stuck? ?

In fact, everything has exceptions, and guinea pigs also see things.

Generally, they are anxious to eat, especially when two animals are competing for food, which is most likely to happen.

The main symptoms of the card owner’s guinea pigs are as follows:

1. Some guinea pigs will make a coughing sound, but not all guinea pigs will make it.

2. Guinea pigs will raise their heads and shake their heads, maintaining this posture for a long time.

3. Some guinea pigs will retreat. When they retreat to the edge, they will change direction and retreat again, while keeping their heads raised.

4. Guinea pigs don’t vomit, so it’s quite troublesome to deal with the stuck throat by yourself, but most of them can be solved by yourself.

3. How to rescue a foreign object stuck in the throat

Don’t panic when you encounter a foreign object stuck in a guinea pig.

Be prepared and then rescue it.

Don’t worry, guinea pigs mainly breathe through the nasal cavity.

I have read some information that the mouth of guinea pigs does not participate in breathing, but you should not be careless. If the foreign body is too large, it will block the esophagus and airway. Danger.

1. Observe guinea pigs frequently. Only by discovering them in time can you rescue them in time. If possible, you can use a camera. Remote monitoring, if you find a problem, go home yourself or ask your family or neighbors to help.

2. The first thing to do is not to catch guinea pigs. This must be remembered. At this time, the owner of the guinea pig is very panicked and will resist desperately. It may also not recognize the owner because of the panic.

3. The first thing is to bind the guinea pig with a towel or blanket or other wrapping.

4. Are you looking for tweezers or chopsticks at home that can pick out foreign objects? Do not use your hands directly unless necessary to avoid being bitten.

5. After preparing the things, take the guinea pig out of the cage and wrap it with a towel. This does two things, one is to prevent it from being scratched, and the other is to keep the guinea pig from moving around.

6. Place the guinea pig between the legs to fix the body, fix the guinea pig's head with one hand, and hold the tweezers with the other hand.

7. Use the hand that fixes the guinea pig’s head to prevent the guinea pig from opening and closing its mouth from the joint between the upper and lower osprey bones at the rear, or use tweezers or other tools to pull out the jammed thing. Be sure to pull gently.

8. If the foreign object is deep, add a hand to open the guinea pig's mouth and fix it to the maximum opening to facilitate finding.

It is best to operate with two people. One person fixes and pulls apart the two sides of the guinea pig's mouth, and the other person uses tweezers or chopsticks to pick it up.

9. After the foreign body is removed, if there is bleeding or other wounds in the mouth of the guinea pig, you can use a little medicine that can disinfect the oral mucosa. If there is no problem, loosen the towel and comfort it. It will be better if you have snacks to help.

10. For guinea pigs with stress reactions, after adding some electrolytic multivitamin mixed with water and administrating it, the quiet environment will slowly return to normal.

It is a relatively common problem for guinea pigs to have foreign objects stuck in their throats. Although the risk is less severe than that of humans, it is still dangerous because it can cause oral injuries to guinea pigs, make them unable to eat, and even cause esophageal injury and suffocation. Wait, so discover it early, deal with it early, and deal with it calmly without panic.
