Senior Guinea Pig
this is the long list i went with:
- right eye red, swollen and squinted (yesterday it looked sore so we made an appointment, and today it's red aswell)
- snuffling more than her usual summer 'hayfever' (she has this every year but this time it seems a bit worse)
- starting to lose weight (dropped down to 970g)
- 'specks' in fur - possible hay/dirt, mites, dandruff!
- check teeth
- check ovarian cysts
so she's had a check over and:
- she has conjunctivitis and another eye condition which i can't remember the name of, but it's basically that her right eye is swollen, especially the lower eyelid. she had that dye put in to check it and some dye caught on the cornea, so possibly something there. no other obvious damage. the dye was checked through her tear duct and that was clear.
- a little discharge from her nose but chest and lungs clear.
- the specks in her fur are just bits of hay and dirt.
- teeth are fine and cysts have stayed the same since her hcg injections.
she's now on two different eyedrops. 4x a day for the first two days, then 3x a day for the next 5 days, leaving half an hour between the two different drops. should see an improvement in two days and then should carry on getting better. if not, we have to get back in touch.
the snuffling is more than likely her usual hayfever/sensitivities, but if it gets any worse then we have to ring to get her some antibiotics.
so looks like no sleep for me
but anything for my maisie
poor thing looks neglected and orange from the dye
but she's still fairly bright, if not a little huffy. (headbutted the vet a few times
)
and there should have been a note on our file to say we could pay next week... and there wasn't, so that was embarrassing aswell.
but not a problem luckily.
