Oh no, it's me and my studies again XD Are you fed up of me yet?
So, I've been researching but am needing a little more info on:
1 heatstroke
2 and losing weight but still eating well
which I thought someone may be able to help me with.

My RHA examiner has given me a hint regarding the heatstroke...
"see if you can do a little more research to find information on what can happen after a guinea pig looks like they have recovered from a collapsed state and how you may prevent this?"
Is it anything to do with fluid retention? I have a weird feeling I heard about that somewhere. I'm just a bit stumped as to what a pig may still be suffering from after recovering form heatstroke. I've already done about rehydration etc :)

Regarding losing weight and yet still eating well, I've gone through dental, fungal, oral thrush etc. What other condition could you treat for when a guinea pig is losing weight but eating well?

Thanks for any help and sorry for being a pain in the butt :flag:
