My guinea pig Georgie has squeaked while pooping for a few years but with nothing to worry about. A few days ago it got worse, he stopped eating much and his poops started to go wierd with mucus in and also small wierd shapes came out. He really struggled to go this morn and had watery eyes, I think he had been up all night. He also didn't drink overnight. I have just brought him home from a day under the care of the vet with Fibreplex and Zantac, they said his poops have got better throughout the day. I think this is a bigger problem than just getting him better this time though. I have been reading about it and perhaps he is sensitive to some fresh foods. My question is, should I stop the fresh veggies for a week to see if it is that? And if so should I only stop them once the medication has stopped? I don't want to impair his progress because the vet was happy that he ate salad today.
Background: Georgie is recently 3. He used to squeak when peeing and pooping but had an op 3 months ago to flush his bladder. He is fine peeing now, it's just the pooping he squeaks at. He also doesn't drink as much as my other guinea pig, so I considered he may also get constipation? I just don't know if stopping the veggies will help or not, does anyone have any ideas?
