Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi everyone,
I haven't been on the forum for soooo long. I've been so busy!
Anyways, I have a guinea pig that drinks excessive amounts of water. She will drink almost an entire bottle of water a day. It is the largest size bottle I could find so its huge. This has been going on for months and months. Her cage is soaked all the time and now she is losing weight.
She went to the vets today and had a panel of bloodwork done and an urinalysis. I won't get the results back for a couple days. We are thinking diabetes.
Does anyone have any experience with diabetes? Can she have insulin? How would I monitor her blood sugar levels?
Thank you
