Senior Guinea Pig
We've had Pepe and Dylan on Baytril for 7 days (until yesterday morning) and Dylan's appetite seems fine and usual, but Pepe seems to be barely touching either wet or dry food. He was never that fussed about the wet food, but always tucked into his dry, but since he's been about halfway through the Baytril we've started to worry about him, although he dives on celery (which strangely he didn't like before!), cucumber and grass/dandies however. He won't take the syringed food I've prepared for him on several occasions either, but does eat a bit of hay. He reluctantly takes the pro-biotic but only with a little drop of Tropicana : I'm going to get some Critical Care tomorrow from the vets if I can and see if I can get that into him.
Is it normal for piggies to lose their appetites on antibiotics? I was hoping as he has not had any Baytril for over a day he would have started to feed again :-\ Apart from the food thing he seems normal - rumbling a bit at Dylan next door, even a couple of small popcorns in the last two days!
I'm going to email Vedra that he is experiencing this and has lost over 20 grams in the last couple of days, but was wondering in the meantime if anyone has any experience of this?
