About Nicole Bury
Expertise
I can answer every question anyone has! I am always willing to hit the books for other owners! I and my husband between me have 6 guinea pigs and one expecting, that we intend to keep 2 of. I can help with idle questions, everyday problems to serious health problems but I always sugget seeing a vet!

Experience
I have had 14 guinea pigs in my life with more to come. I have volunteered at the local shelter just to work with the small animals on a weekly basis and I have been to countless vets to soak up there advice, as well as looking in my 50 something books on guinea pigs. I know almost everything I can wrap my head around about guinea pigs! Sometimes my husband, who is an exotic bird vet/guinea pig fanatic helps me with the questions to!

Organizations
I belong to S.A.R.S. BC. It stands for Small Animal Rescue Shelter.

Publications
The Vancouver sun.

Education/Credentials
I have taken community courses for pet care, including small animals, but I have not been to school formal education (I am not a vet). Currently I am in the process of becoming a published author and I have my degree in creative writing. Someday I will have my masters. I teach local classes for advanced creative writing and literature for teens.

Awards and Honors
I have had my writing published in the paper for the fourtenth time about animal pet care facts. Nothing big, just me and a few other writers.

ANSWER: Hello Maddy,
I say get her to the vet a.s.a.p. as this could be and probably is an internal infection or an organ problam.

QUESTION: hi,
i brought her to the vet and she said it was probably just a bit of pre- labor blood :)
Thankyou,

Answer
Hello Mady,
I'm sorry if I got the diagnosis wrong, but I have honestly never heard of 'pre-labor blood'. I asked my friend who is a vet and she hasn't heard of that either. I still say that you should pay a little closer attention to her, but don't freak out because I am sure you saw a good vet.

Thank you for the follow up and the cutey picture!
