Guinea Slave
Adult Guinea Pig
Hi guys
Sorry not been on here properly for a while. It's been one thing after another with my piggies. Abscesses, lump removals and it goes on.
The latest thing is poor titch, she was off colour last few data and suddenly lost loads of weight over the weekend... 90g! She is seeing the vet tomorrow. At first she showed no real symptoms, just weightloss. Still ate hungrily and was 'ok'. Today she has taken a turn fir the worse. Loose poops this morning have turned into full on diarrhoea tonight. I took her off all veg this morning, started her on recovery syringe food and she has had 3 ml fibreplex. I will keep syringing her tonight little and often. She is taking cursory nibbles of hay and wheeked fir her dinner tonight. She is v hungry. Someone mention diarolyte for hydration. Any ideas on dosage?
Anything else I can do? I have also given her 0.4ml Zantac twice today. I love this girl to bits, hate seeing her suffer. :-(
