Hi
This thread is related to the thread I posted during the week on health/illness on Infacol although the advise I need is different so I have started a new thread! :{
What I need to know is....can a guinea pig go without veg?
In my other thread on Infacol I have explained the problems I have had with my piggie Speedy, not sure if I should repeat it again but will if need be.
I have realised that veg, it seems any type, either causes her to have diahorea or bloat.
Speedy was successfully treated for diahorea on 17th September and after a few days I started her on veg again, one type at a time just in case!
By the 29th September she had bloat, this has been successfully treated and again I started her on veg, one type at a time, small amounts and she now has diahorea again!grrrr
I am at my wits end now, she seems absolutely fine in herself now that the bloat has gone, she is eating, drinking and is alert and appears happy but if I have to go veg free with her will she be ok?
Is there any veg/fruit that is less likely to cause either bloat or diahorea?
She is eating plenty of hay and dry pellets which is Science Selective so all natural.
Any help/advise will be greatly appreciated
