Junior Guinea Pig
Hello everyone!
My 2 year old guinea pig, Brownie, had stopped eating especially his favorite Timothy grass pieces and vegetables. He would be interested but could not grasp on the food and would just drop it and fiddle with it. We first believed the vet trimmed his teeth too low…I took him to the vet on Friday 10/10/25 morning and they were going to trim down his front bottom teeth. (The vet said the back teeth were fine. We always provided Brownie with Timothy sticks to bite down on to keep his teeth at a proper length. So we were confused to why his bottom front teeth were long but the before and after pics of his teeth, he did need them to get trimmed down) When we took him home in the afternoon the same day, he still was not eating. When we researched most guinea pigs are back to themselves and eating after a teeth trim normally. We have been syringe feeding him the critical care and water. I even bought an immersion blender to purée his favorite vegetables
and green bell pepper but he will not eat it. (His personality is very boujee
and maybe he just likes eating his veggies like normal) but he just can’t at the moment.
What we are even more concerned on is he has very little poops and pee spots and no poops at all sometimes. We see him scrunch his butt to try to poop but all we notice is a very stinky smell that we never smelled before when he would use to poop. I also seen a kinda linking poop come out and it was stuck for a second hanging from his butt and smelled bad. We did call the vet back and told them he’s still not eating his favorite veggies, Timothy grass, or drinking from his water bottle nozzle and not pooping. They said to continue force feeding and we already know of course if he wasn’t eating properly he would not be pooping due to not having much food in his belly but since we are syringe feeding there’s still no poops. It is now Wednesday 10/15/25. I also plan on getting another exotic vet because they seem uncaring because wouldn’t they provide something so that he will not go into GI stasis I’m going to call them first thing in the morning about Brownie continuing to not poop and pee…but if anyone ever went through this after your guinea pig stopped eating all of a sudden, drinking water and had a teeth trim (and they still were not eating) please help
Also, Brownie will run out his hidey and wheek as he use to when I turn the light on in his room but he’s just not able to eat on his own, poop or pee…
Thank you in advance
