Senior Guinea Pig
Hi Everyone,
I was looking to see if anyone had a similar experience Milo came down with a snotty nose, he was given antibiotics which he became intolerant to. He was no longer eating and very poorly. I separated him from the girls as the girl's where being particularly weird. They wouldn't allow him to sit still constantly smelling him and forcing him to move around.
He is doing very well in his isolation cage, so I took the decision to re-introduce him as the snotty nose has subsided and the course of antibiotics is finished. I followed the introduction stickie. Everything went fine no dominance issues. Once I re-introduced them all to the cage there was a marked change in Milo's behaviour he wouldn't move or interact and sat at the furthest away corner making no movement all night. The only time he will move is to greet me for veggies. I thought his friends would perk him up but it has the opposite affect.
He's back in his isolation cage, and he is again noticeable better, eating and moving around. He's going back to the vets on Monday as he has additional problems going on with his teeth. I'm thinking it's best to keep Milo on his own for the time being, it's not something I've ever experienced with a sick pig?
