My pig, Mindy has been acting quite weird lately.All I know is that , it has been poisoned by the grass I have been giving it.A few days back, I took it to the vet, he prescribed Atropine in a low dosage,and said that, that would be enough to make it alright in a few days.But definitely it should be given a more acute antidote for the poisoning.Does anybody know a better antidote that can be used for Mindy?

That all sounds a bit weird! Would you be able to add your location to your profile please so that the experts here can give you more help.
What sort of grass had you given that the vet thinks caused the problem?
What is her weird behaviour?

The only thing we can advise is for you to find a guinea pig specialised vet, they're known as exotic specialist vets too. Ring around your town/city to find someone.
"Poison" is a very general word so you would need to take your pig to a specialised vet so they can determine exactly what the pig has injested.
If you add your location to your profile then someone may be able to advise on a vet to try. Otherwise you could try the vet locator at the top of the page to see if it includes your area.
