Guinea Pig With Pus Discharge From Ears!

[DM030819]

Okay, the glue like substance will be because she doesn't have enough food travelling through her system. You need to increase the amount you are feeding her. It can be tough but pigs need to have a constant amount of food travelling througb their systems at all times.

@Jaycey Sure, thank you, just gave her antibiotics ...my intuition says stopping it won't help...I will try my best to feed atleast 15 ml of food entire day . Hope this will help ! Moreover sometimes she just keeps the food inside her mouth..and doesn't swallow

I think it needs upping, it doesn't seem enough. Do you feed her through the night. If you get loads inside her It will help her fight the infection.
Is this a savvy vet

The recommended amount of Oxbow Critical Care is 6g of dry food per 100g of guinea pig.

About 20g of dry food mixed with 5ml of water is a good consistency but you can add more water if you need to.

If the pig is struggling to eat the food or is taking it very slowly it can feel like a full time job.

Like TiaMolly mentions you need to feed around the clock, even during the night.

15ml per feeding session is good, but sometimes it's only possible to get 5ml into them.

Try to increase the feeding as much as you can.

@Tiamolly123 @Jaycey Thank you and I'll surely up the feeding, but please know that oxbow is not available..here...so I am grinding the regular grass with cucumber and making it into fine paste and feeding...if you guys can suggest me some homemade formula's that I can prepare will be amazing.

Thanks in advance!

Please step in with syringe feeding and watering ASAP! You can use mushed up pellets in an emergency. The goo is usually a sign of dehydration; she's likely not drunk or eaten much at all in the last 24 hours.
Feed often, as much as she will take, every two hours round the clock at first to get the guts going again. Always weigh an ill guinea daily at the same time instead of the usual weekly, and step in with syringe feeding as soon as an ill guinea pig loses more than 50g. Don't give her more than 0.3-0.5 ml at once (i.e. one mouthful) to prevent things from going down the wrong way. Prep the syringe tip as shown in the guide in order to let the fibre come through.

Add pedialyte (US) or dioralyte (UK) to the water to help with the rehydration.

DO NOT STOP THE ANTIBIOTIC!

@Wiebke thank you ..now after feeding it has started to poop normally, but I must say the change in poop showed up after I gave her 3ml of water...I will give her feeding u. Every hour so that she can also have rest and relax in between....I am not going anywhere, leaving my gal until it starts eating on its own....

I am really thankful to everyone for taking sometime and for sharing valuable information in supporting my gal...!

I am glad that the poos are looking much better and healthier again. offer her as much water and fibrous syringe feed as she will take. You can get the amounts/frequency of feeding for the different stages of recovery from the syringe feeding guide. Otherwise, please hang in there and you can hopefully see her through this.

BIG HUGS

I am so sorry; you did all you could, but you were unfortunately up against it from the start. Ear infections can deteriorate quickly and can kill.

You are welcome to post a tribute your little girl in our Rainbow Bridge section if you wish to and any time it feels right for you; we all grieve differently.

 

[DM030819]

I am so sorry @Rahul . You did everything you possibly could. Sometimes it's just their time to leave us.

Hugs to you, I hope you're okay x

 

[Swissgreys]

I also wanted to add my condolences.
It was clear from the start how dedicated you were to your girl, and you tried everything possible to save her.
Big hugs from Switzerland.

 

[Tiamolly123]

I am so sorry Rahul, you worked so hard for your little girl, you must be heartbroken. She would have felt your love as she passed.
Sleep tight little one
Run free over the rainbow bridge.
