Mulder and Scully
Junior Guinea Pig
Hi, we are really worried about Scully (7yrs). We noticed last night that he is tilting his head to the side when eating, and that he had not eaten his usual amount of hay - he then left his fresh veg which he's has NEVER done before. He was impacted, which happens every few weeks, and we removed this last night. However, this morning he has barely touched his food and was impacted again, but also runny?!? He has had a little run round but then gone back to his cosy and appears out of sorts.
When he try's to eat he pulls a funny face and he has choked a bit. I've noticed his chin is vey wet - drooling? Front teeth look ok, but can't see further down. Our vet is not open until tomorrow because of bank holiday.
I think there is a problem with his teeth - & because he is not eating his poop is affected more. I'm so worried as I know how quickly they go downhill - is there anything we can do to help him until tomorrow?
Thanks, Vanessa
