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.

Expert: Nicole Bury - 11/6/2009
Question
My daughter's pet developed a swollen ear about a week ago. I have drained it three times now. In each case the fluid was not infected but contained blood. This last time I thought, let's wait. After three days the ear was warm to the touch and firm. It did not appear to be tender. I again drained it with the same result.
We are not in a financial position to take the pet to the vet. Any ideas or suggestions?
Answer
Hello Preston!
Please be more specific - Was the whole ear swollen, or just a small area and is it the small area that you drianed (like a syst). Please message me back so that I may help you further.
Sorry for the wait, as it apparetly is busy season for giunea illness!
