New Born Pup
My 4.5 y.o. guinea pig, Harry, seemed bloated the other day. 1st time it's happened. He was active, eating, drinking and pooping. So, over the weekend I stopped giving him veg, gave him one dose of simethicone (before reading that it can be bad), a couple doses of gripe water, lots of massages and floor time. I didn't bring him to the emergency vet because his stomach started going down. After the wknd, I brought him to the small animal vet and she felt some gas and gave him 2 injections to stimulate the digestive system, which she said should work over 24 hour. It's been maybe 17 hours and his tummy still feels the same to me. At the vet's advice, I have re-introduced veg. I haven't been giving him gassy veg so I'm not sure why he would be gassy. Is this just something that happens in older guinea pigs? Also, even though he has no signs of URI, he seems to be cleaning his eyes frequently- I notice he's producing a lot of the milky fluid in his eyes.
