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.

Question
hello, i think my guinea pig is sick and don't know what to do. she is not eating or drinking, and yesterday there was gook on her eyes but i got it off and none today. what may i do about my guinea pig. And she doesn't squeak like she usually does. About her food and drinking she will look at it and then crawl right back in her igloo and go back to sleep. i need advice.

Answer
Hello Britaney!
I will give a a few direct-to-page links to sites I think will hold better information (and pics) then I can give you. I suggest calming down though and if the diagnoses is dark, all you can do is get her to a vet and follow his instructions.
