Bruce

[Guinea pig slave]

Bruce, our lovely old boy doesn't seem to be himself this morning :...
His right eye is a little sticky but he's asymptomatic, no wheezing, chestiness etc. He's eaten his breakfast, hay etc. and have popped a heat pad in under his tunnel to keep him warm, he's also got a fleecy house which he loves and has gone in there
Am at work until 4 today so have given him a dose of ABX and Metacam as know URI's can manifest themselves in funny ways. Belle, one of his little wifepig's washed his face before I could clean his eye x)
Going to give him a good check over when I get home - Bruce is around 5 years old and we lost his lifelong companion in April so he's just a bit special to us.
My daughter is home so will keep an eye on him and call me at work if needed.
I worry so much about him

I'm sure he'll be okay, perhaps hes just feeling a bit rough this morning. You've done all the precautions

I really hope Bruce is okay. How sweet his girls are caring for him.

Fingers firmly crossed for Bruce! The wild temperature swings lately have been very hard on the piggies, especially the older ones.

Thanks guys, Bruce seemed ok when I got back home and has eaten gusto this evening - the 'forbidden' parsley was sneaked onto the menu and he's had some banana which I always find goes down well with an off colour piggy. His eye is clear so think his wifey's must have been looking after him and he's just had an off day
Perhaps it's this weather as Wiebke suggested.
Oh well, better to be careful and will be having some cuddles with him after his post dinner snooze x)
Thank you all again, it's such a comfort knowing people truly understand my worries x>>
