Hi everyone!
My guinea pig Bebita is almost 7 years old, and she has hyperthyroidism and arthritis, amongst some other things.
She also has a very sensitive stomach and is prone to gut issues and infections.
At the moment, she is in need of some pain relief for her arthritis, which is most likely getting worse due to her age and the drop in temperature. I am looking for an alternative to Metacam that would be less harsh on the stomach. Metacam is not suitable for her ongoing gut issues. She reacted quite badly to that when I gave it to her recently.
My vet suggested giving infant paracetamol (100g, 2 times a day). Does anyone have any other ideas? Thank you in advance
