Today we'll show you a birth of guinea pigs. Amazing.
Everything about your pet
Be ready! Can you hear this squeak?
She squeak because of contactions. This is contraction.
Look, is going to give birth. She did it!
Come on, come on, come on.
Here. Here's first baby.
We're going to leave her, we're waiting for another.
Look, what is she doing.
She's breaking the bag. And baby
started to react. Mother is breaking the bag
to baby start to breath. That's important. As you can see
mother is really looking after the baby.
Do you know that birth of guinea pigs has no symptoms?
Guinea pig behave
normally and suddenly we hear squeak
because she feels contradictions from uterus.
And she gives birth.
And look now...
Maybe mother will let us...
Baby, just born, is almost like adult guinea pig.
Here, there is a rest of
umbilical cord.
I will break it.
Normally mother eats that.
Baby recognizes his mother and is going to her.
Guinea pigs... well,
you think is strange, that theye are here together,
They've got matriarchy community, normally there's one male
and few females, they're accustomed to be together,
the live together very well,
they like to have company
and they like interact.
Guine pig normally
has 1-6 babies, but often
3-4 babies,
like this mother. But I'm sure, she has
one more to give a birth,
and maybe you will able to
see
how she gives birth.
Is coming, is coming,
Here's another one.
Look.
Another one.
If mother doesn't look after this baby, we have to
break
the bag close to the nose, to the animal
can start to breath.
And we give it to mother, she's now
cleaning her baby.
She will carry on.
This baby has breath problems,
so I will resuscitate.
I do the same this like mother to dry him.
Except of artificial ventilation
and cardiopulmonary resuscitation we make little acupuncture,
that teached me
one of the best veterinarian,
is working in our hospital.
It's stimulating reanimatios, under nostril
there is a point,
that stimulates
cardiac and breathing function.
We need to make some pain, using a needle.
And after this
in few minutes baby will
breathing better. Also heart will work better.
In few minutes will breathing more frequently.
Before baby was breathing very slowly,
and now this function
is much faster.
Now is breathing normal
and is starting to move.
So
we saved him
in this critical situation,
Now is much better, it should be ok.
Look at result of this hard day,
This is
"Antoñito", so we called him, because we helped him
to go out. Look how good he appears,
he's few hours old and already he ate something.
