Panda has gotten a lot of Diarrhoea. I’ve heard to give him high fibre things but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Please help!
 
If your piggy is experiencing severe diarrhoea then you need to take your piggy to a vet as a matter of urgency.
please stop giving veg and feed only hay.
Have You been weighing him? Has he lost weight? weigh him daily to ensure he is not losing weight. If he is losing weight then you will need to step in and syringe feed

their hay based diet (being 80% hay daily) is naturally high in fibre.

Can he eat pellets? I have Burgess excel pellets. If not, he will only be on hay.

he can have the normal limited amount of one tablespoon of pellets per day but being only on hay is the best thing for him to settle his tummy. Their diet needs to be 80% hay anyway and pellets are only 5% per day
if he is having severe diarrhoea you cannot wait until Saturday.

Okay. He is excreting only diarrhoea and no solid poops.
 
Years ago I found my guinea pig in the morning with severe diarrhoea and took him to the vets. Sadly he died whilst I was there.
Not wanting to worry you and my guinea pig was very young, but they can deteriorate very quickly. It's not like if a person has a bad stomach
Good luck, hope Panda gets better soon
 
If the poo is constant diarrhoea I’m afraid it can’t wait till tomorrow either. What did the vet say?
