Today, I found out that my beloved guinea pig has impaction. For the rest of his life it will be my duty to clean out his rectum manually every month, or every week/day if it gets worse. FML

Try being the guinea pig bet he/she hates it more then you do. Give it some laxatives .

Little guy probably isn't too happy, either. He doesn't know what's going on and he has to be scared at least once a month. ):

What about a laxative daily? Mix polyethylene glycol (Miralax) in his water-works for people:)

do the right thing, put it out of it's misery. sounds bad but it's the only humane thing to do.

Yes 306 I agree, it is the humane thing to do. So many people think hanging on at all cost is the right thing to do but in reality sometimes the most loving, caring thing to do is let go. It is also the hardest thing to do. I think the 'hang on at all cost' people are just those who are too scared to pull the plug. This is true of animals and humans.
