Hi, wonder if anyone can help?
Yesterday I was given a male guinea pig in a very bad state by what I can only describe as a very stupid woman who imagines herself as an animal sanctuary, but imo keeps them poorly.
They have food and water but I just doubt her ability to spot illnesses etc.
ANYWAY
I just went along to look, as I have been looking for a male guinea to have castrated and go with my ladies, she showed him to me and said I could take him for no donation - and I couldn't say no as I felt so bad for him.
He has mange mites and is incredibly thin. Since I got him home he seems to drink A LOT, he also has wet poop - not diarroreha, but you know the kind they eat?
I have used lice and easy and treated for the mange mites. The drinking troubles me though, would it be his kidneys?
