Adult Guinea Pig
Mabel was very down yesterday evening, she didn't want to eat, when her veggies and pellets came she just lifted her head to look at me and set it back down again which concerned me, she was just exhausted, she didn't want to eat the fancy hay and had stopped pooping. I restarted her on the emeprid even though the cisipride she's on is the more appropriate drug for her issues according to the vet but.. apparently Mabel hasn't read any of the textbooks
Today she has been eating well, energetic and running for her veggies and pellets with enthusiasm again. She has stringy stasis poops mixed with soft paste like poops off and on but as long as she stays happy she can poop however she likes.
She has finished her sulfasalazine trial so we will see what happens, if the mucous returns or anything. She may go back on it if she continues to decline. I'm seeing the specialist again next week with Bailey and Pippin so I can always mention it to her.
This is always the most draining part. The emotional ups and downs. I dont think at this point we're going to find a magic cure, this is a case of managing her until she passes, but who knows. For as long as she's enjoying life, we will carry on
Here she is settling down after her syringe feed just now! Waiting patiently for me to hurry up with her meds
