Junior Guinea Pig
Hi everyone, I've not been able to be on forum for a while unfortunately and I am sad to have to be back on to say I have a pig with a URI, Ruby the pig in my profile pic
Noticed this eve after being out all day and took her to emergency vet straight away. Vet gave her baytril injection, a gut motitlity injection as she's a bit bloated and another injection. Annoyed at myself as can't remember what the other injections were as I was in a bit of a panic and wasn't taking it in. Vet has given me oral baytril to start tomorrow. Currently have Ruby separated from my other two, she's not great, still very laboured breathing although not as crackly. No other symptoms, no sneezing/coughing and her eyes are clear. I have fed her some Supreme Revovery, she only took about 10 ml and wouldn't take the water with probiotics I tried to give her. Not interested in any other food/grass. Was planning on keeping her in our room and staying awake if poss or setting alarm to wake up every couple of hours to try to feed her. But should I put her back in with the other two? Does it sound like her URI would be contagious? Maybe she'd be happier back with them but don't want them to catch anything. I have seen some poops in the large cat carrier I have her in so I know she is passing some but also maybe better to keep her separate to monitor that? Not sure what to do for the best, really horrible seeing her so unwell. Any help/advice much appreciated, thanks!
