    The only thing you can do is take it to the vet, maybe you can work out a payment plan with them

    go to another vet and sue that vet in court for the deaths of the guinea pigs for giving you the wrong medicine

    Sue that freaking vet. " The wrong ones???????????" Dude, make sure he even HAS a malpractice certificate. Call the 311 hotline and just tell them everything. But i'll tell you this. GET ANOTHER VET!!!!

    I'm so sorry for your guinea pig. I have one too and i don't want to see a guinea pig suffer, nor the owner.

    I think that the vet is just trying to get money out of you, i would just hope for the best. I am sorry.

    your vet killed your pets now wants you to pay to get it right after you paid for a mistake. I would bring that up with your vet

    Search on the web. You could also try to look in stores and probably find a medicine for it! I hope your hamster is going to be alright!
