Adult Guinea Pig
I hope you get to the bottom of this soon @Marvel_piggie_squad x
Thanks all! Yes we are back at Cat and Rabbit on the 25th. He’s otherwise very happy, eating lots and gaining weight
Hi, sorry to jump in on this thread but just wanted to ask you about the sweet potato and oats for weight boosting. Do you use the skin of the potato or peel it first, and are the oats normal porridge oats given dry straight from the packet?Whenever I’ve had a piggy who needed weight boosting I put a ramekin dish in the cage with grated sweet potato & oats.
Another favourite with mine is a small piece of banana mashed in with the recovery food.
Ramekin dishes are very useful.

Asking as I have an almost 6yr old male piggie who has lost a lot of weight over the past few weeks despite eating well.
Thank you in advance.

This post made me smile and cry. Can't imagine what you are going through. I am so glad Odin is feeling more like his happy self.So I had a nice chat with Kim today. She agrees that Odin may have some chronic inflammation/inflammation in caecum/LI , potentially as a result of the giardia when he was a baby, or because of something else.
Though he has been much better today. And today we had pop-Corning for the first time in months!
Because he’s happy and active, and eating, she said not to rush him down there yet and to just bring him to his appointment on the 25th. It may be he needs some cisapride prescribing.
we also went to pick Loki up tonight. he’s back home watching over his brothers View attachment 153654
Thanks all. It’s so hard not to be a paranoid mum now! Always watching the piggies and worrying something might be wrong...
It’s definitely been an experience the last few months!
I miss Loki every day. Still expect him to be first one over when I open the fridge door! But I think little Odin has taken on that role now!
I think I’m going to try Odin on the Feliway Cystease, in case there is some IC going on as he is in quite a bit of pain when passing droppings and scans are showing nothing.
he’s currently around 650-750g (very slowly gaining weight..) and his appetite is really good.
Please can someone advise on dosage?
Also he’s on Zithromax still, will it interfere with this in any way?
thank you
