Sorry to hear about your piggy :( My guinea pig Scarlet was recently put on Baytril (0.5 mL twice daily and it was an exotics vet) but after a couple of doses she completely lost her appetite (except would still eat veggies) and the vet told me to stop the antibiotic. I think since your piggy is...
