Follow up on my piggy that had lost weight

[Gayles Piggies]

THANK YOU! I had asked questions about poop soup after my little one was losing weight after antibiotics (UTI). That was in mid-September.
I have three other pigs so I was alternating "donations." I discovered that the stool from the female upset her stomach and the second male was shy about pooping in the travel kennel. So I used the poop from one of the pigs. I'm still syringe feeding her twice daily and poop soup once daily but after 1.5 months she is beginning to gain a little weight.

She started acting like herself after 2 weeks and the other day I startled her and she RAN She hasn't moved quickly in a LONG time. It's slow but steady improvements now each week. She was hovering around 800 grams and is around 830 now. I'm really hoping for 900 at this point (she was 1,000 in June when this started). It's good to see her recovering.

Thank you for all your help!

Thank you for your update. It's lovely when we hear that guinea pigs are improving.

You've been doing a wonderful job syringe feeding and making poo soup for 1.5 months. It's exhausting looking after a sick guinea pig.
