In the last few days, our 9-year-old female guinea pig has stopped eating (mostly) ond drinking. She will still eat a few pieces of frozen corn or peas, but will not eat her usual fruits and vegetables. She is still interested in food, but refuses to eat it. When she does eat, she eats slowly, and sometimes whimpers a little as if it hurts her to do so.
We've been to a vet, who felt two lumps in her abdomen, the one on the right larger and more round, that he thinks might be ovarian cancer but could also be kidney failure. We've been giving her the Critical Care powder he prescribed and water through a syringe. She seems sick, but still has energy. Today she peed a bit of blood, but weighs roughly the same.
(When she was 2 years old, she also had an abscess behind her eye that she had removed through surgery. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.)
What should we do? And, is there something wrong with her jaw, even though the vet told us her teeth were normal? Please help!
