Senior Guinea Pig
I noticed last week that Hector wasn't eating as much and that his chin was looking a little wet - I weighed him and he was about 970g
But lately I've noticed him eating the hard food more and last night I weighed him and he is now about 1030g and he hadn't dribbled at all after eating
I'm suppose to be going to have his teeth checked tomorrow but do you think I leave it another wheek and see whether he improves more or take him tomorrow?
Id just hate to take him and find out nothing is wrong and ive just spent 50 pounds getting there but if I left it for a wheek and he started to dribble again then I'd know for def that something was wrong and then id take him next saturday.
And maybe get some Daktarin incase he has a mouth infection. The vet mentioned he saw an Ulcer so Id been giving him pain relief.
What you think?
Hes not a big pig considering he usually weighs about 1100g he is quite skinny looking and yet not bony - I guess he is just a slim piglet.
