What do you do if your guinea pigs get left out in the sun and have a heat stroke?


My guinea pigs had a heat stroke yesterday and 1 survived the other one passed away and if it ever happens again i want to know what else i can do?

my guinea pigs were left out in the sun by my brother i was out with my sister when i got home my brother was trying to save them and if it happened again to SOMEONE ELSE what else could i do?

DO NOT plunge the guinea pig into cold water - the shock alone will kill it.

Instead it is best to wrap the guinea pig in a damp flannel. Then ring the emergency vet - they don't last long when they get heat stroke... I know this from experience.

dont let the one back out into the sun like that you sick sick person?And lots of water and rest

CPR.

dont leave them out in the sun

Dig a hole and bury them.

you can rush them to the vet but its a lot cheaper to just get a new guinea pig. Other than that have water close to where they are outside and dont let them out when its too hot.

another example of how all pet owners should be licensed and should have to pass test on animal care before they get one, which should be very expensive.

The idea is that, if you are silly enough to let it happen that one time, you actually LEARN from that mistake and you NEVER let it happen again.
Do you understand that???? You don't EVER leave them in the sun. What a shame there is no way to give common sense to those who have none.
My only other suggestion would be to give your poor remaining guinea pig to a person who has a brain.
