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.

Guinea Pigs - hurt guinea pig


Expert: Nicole Bury - 10/29/2009

Question
my son dropped our guinea pig. he is very sluggish but is moving around a little. we have two guinea pigs and the other one want leave the hurt one along is this ok or do i need to separate them? i am unsure if the guinea pig will be ok. I feel like the other one is not letting him heal.

Answer
Hello Melissa!
Simple answer:
a) "do i need to separate them?", Yes this would be best for now. It is normal for a guinea pig to investigate, but it could potentiolly hurt the already hurt one.
If you ever need anyother advice, then feel free to follow up or ask another question!
