Help please read guinea pig emergency?

Question

I live in a 3 story apartment building, the pipe in the ceiling from the apartment upstairs busted. The water is almost all gone but no matter what I do I cannot keep up with the mold. No matter how many times I bleach the walls the next day the mold grows back. Its the worst in my computer room. My room is the second worse that's where my little guinea pig lives. I've got him in the living room now, but there is no real escape for him. It is really hard for me to breathe so I can only imagine how hard it is for my little guy to breathe. I have all the windows open but its still bad. 
How can I protect my little guy while I fight this mold problem? The last thing I want is for him to get 
sick or worse.
Please answer, thanks in advance

Get a bucket and put in 2 gallons of water, 1/4 cup TSP, 1/4 cup bleach, and a bit of tide to make it soapy and wash down the walls with that. it should keep the mold form coming back if it is not completely through the plaster board in which case the owner of the building is going to have to replace all of it. I have removed tons of mold with this formula over the years.

I agree with the suggestions to board him out while you are getting the mold under control.  However, I would suggest that the repair and mold abatement are problems that should be addressed by your landlord and could be pretty significant.  You won't lick the problem until the water is completely gone and all the sheet rock or plaster is thoroughly dry.  If you have had a lot of mold growth, it is probably wisest to strip out the old sheet rock and replace it in order to remove the source of spores which can "seed" a regrowth with any moisture and cause allergy/sensitivity problems and rarely respiratory infections.

If you want to keep him with you try putting him on a table close to an open window. Best option for you and him is to call someone who can get rid of the mold or move. Mold is not good for ethir one of you!

I even have not heard of this thought approximately severe ailments if a guinea pig gets a humid backside. i'm going to megastar your question so certainly one of my contacts (who knows plenty greater suitable than I) would locate it. I bathe ours (in lukewarm, not warm or chilly water) and that they are getting on slightly in years and not sufferered any sick consequences. for sure I basically bathe them while that's heat and dry them immediately. while that's warm verify they have a lot of color - attempt a coastline solar umbrella or shadecloth. We additionally make up bottles of ice (coke style drink bottles with labels bumped off) and place interior the hutch on the decrease point. no remember if that's warm the chilliness coming from the bottles will appeal to them. I continually have some interior the freezer waiting to apply. It grow to be reported to cling moist towels around the outdoors the hutch - that would additionally grant some alleviation for them. Popcorning is often a demonstration of happiness. Ours have by no ability shown pastime in a shallow tray of water we offered for them interior the previous yet they decide for to lie down close to the ice bottles while that's warm.

i would give the guinea pig to one of your family members and you go to a hotel (or get a guy to spray the mold or something! cause if you can't breath that's REALLY bad!)

Could you send him to a friend or family member? Just until the problem dies down, if you can't breathe then it's probably best to send him (and yourself!) away!
