Massive recall on Spinach and spinach mixed products from most supermarkets is underway.

Many people are sick from this with the effects of hallucinations and not being able to stand. If you have fed your guinea pigs this - please immediately stop. You may need urgent vet assistance.

As an immediate thought, activated charcoal in capsule form in 1 tablespoon water, then 1 ml of this will assist with removing any toxins.

The latest describes the spinach as having been grown with a grass that has problems and I am wondering if this is Paspallum which automatically comes to mind and I will pop a link below to Staggers.

It is that time of year again - get ready for Secret Santa 2022! If you have not participated before it is a wonderful incentive to help rescues at Christmas time, when traditionally animals are still in care while everyone is taking a Christmas break. Sadly shelters have been full for some time and this is continuing - so please do what you can to support the Secret Santa.
