Junior Guinea Pig
Saffie had an operation to remove a stone on Sunday and came home from the vet on Tuesday. I’ve been syringe feeding her every 4 hours since and she’s picking at hay and veggies. She’s passing blood in her urine today and is uncomfortable. The vet wasn’t too concerned and we are going to up the metacam to twice
how can I prevent it happening again? I thought my food regime lowered the chance of stones as it was provided by a vet years ago for my holly who had a stone but never needed surgery.
I feed
Cucumber
Courgette
Bell pepper
Romaine lettuce - should I cut this out?
A few sprigs of Coriander
Timothy hay, orchard grass hay, meadow hay etc never alfalfa.
Ive swapped to Selective grain free previously they had burgess.
They have oxbow vitamin c biscuits and oxbow baked rewards as treats
I’ve bought a Brita water filter and Voss bottled water as it’s the lowest in calcium I could find.
