On discovery of a guinea with heatstroke:
* Ask someone to call a vet and make an appointment. * Remove guinea from the immediate environment and bring him in somewhere cooler. * Fill a bowl with tepid not cold water. Cold water can send guinea into shock. * Dab some water on the ears and just behind them (where there is no hair). * Put guineas feet in the bowl of tepid water- let him stand in it if its shallow enough and he is able to stand. * Soak a towel/flanel in the tepid water and wrap guinea in it, it is of great importance that you do not use cold water.Please read the entire document though before you need it, also contains seasonal info on new grass. This should be applied to grass at any time of the year that is new, no just 'spring grass' which is a misleading term for guinea pig owners. For more info on feeding grasses etc join the Planet Guinea newsletter on the home page www.planetguinea.co.ukYou will receive a request for confirmation and will not receive any newsletters until you have made that confirmation. You also have the right to opt out of the/unsubscribe should you wish
