Is it better to have a guinea pig or dog?

Hey!!! I own a dog and 2 guinea pigs. I say that while guinea pigs are fun, they poop. ALOT. So maybe a dog.. but dogs need a yearly checkup and vaccines (pain in the wallet) and guinea pigs don't. Maybe you should try rabbits. They're bigger that guinea pigs, but smaller than (some!) dogs. Also they don't have to see the vet often, but can spread ear mites causing sicknesses to other animals like dogs. ----P.S. My dog almost died from our rabbit that we had and we still have our dog now. (Poor Fluffy!)

Sometimes guinea pigs lose the use of their back legs. This is somewhat common and is not a sign of injury. If the guinea pig is dragging itself around, administer a dose of liquid calcium. This seems to solve the problem.
