Dil has suddenly started not acting like himself, please help a person desperate to not lose a 3rd guinea pig in less than a month.

[storm_warrior2]

Dil has started barely chewing his food, and ignoring water that he is given despite the fact hes excited still when its time to eat. Its clear that hes struggling to some degree all of a sudden. Hes always been a healthy eater and drinker this is not like him and I am very worried about him, we lost Ariel last week when she came down with a bladder stone and passed less than a day after seeing a vet. Sonic who hes starting to mirror passed before we could get him to his vet, and had the same symptoms as the lack of eatting/barely drinking etc.

This is now three who have gotten ill in just over a month and I'm desperate to not lose my 3rd special piggy in such a short span, please if you can help I will be forever grateful. Dil is a good boy who loves being held and will sit there as long as you are willing to be pet as well as scratches under the chin. He is a good boy who gives plenty of love to those who meet him.

Thank You

I’m sorry to hear this and for your losses

I have removed your link as asking for money is against forum rules.

Please urgently step in with syringe feeding a recovery feed (or mushed pellets as the emergency alternative to a proper recovery feed) and switch from the routine weekly weight checks and instead weigh him daily. The daily weight checks are essential to you are getting enough syringe feed into him to keep his weight stable each day and his system running. He needs a minimum of 40-60ml but could be as much as 100ml per day of syringe feed.
Please do see a vet. I hope he is ok

Do urgently step in with syringe feeding Dill to stop him declining and help stop him into stasis.


Just so you know, it does state in the forum terms and conditions that you should not ask for financial assistance with vet fees.
Also, it wasn’t wasn’t ok on your other thread either - I did leave a comment on that post when you made it, and also removed your donation link there also.
