A family are ‘distraught’ after two guinea pigs bought at Pets at Home died within a week ‘with Strep symptoms’.
‘It was so distressing to find the guinea pigs ill. ‘My girls loved these guinea pigs, they are meant to last five to eight years, not three weeks.
Sam purchased a new guinea pig, Fudge, on the same day from Pets at Home to keep Oreo company.
When she then read about the Strep outbreak affecting Pets at Home, she ‘thought this is exactly what my guinea pigs had.’.
The family loved the company of Coco and Oreo, who they bought from Pets at Home in Taunton at the end of December when Coco suddenly stopped eating and ‘had a runny nose’.
