Junior Guinea Pig
Hello,
My guinea pig Ginny is seven almost eight years old! I am currently at Uni, so my mom has been taking her at my house. I come home for the weekends, and last weekend I noticed she wasn't pooping very much, and she had one very large poop that was softer and had some mucus in it. As soon as I saw this, I was worried that she may not be getting enough nutrients. I give her mostly green leaf lettuce and cucumber as her veggies, a vitamin C supplement via syringe every night, pellets, and of course endless hay. As soon as I saw the lack/soft poo, I gave her some lettuce and rushed to the 24 hour pet store and bought some EmerAid (I usually use critical care but didn't have). I gave her just maybe 3mL I believe of EmerAid and within an hour her poops were totally big, hard, and back to normal. I've been giving her a little bit of EmerAid the last two days since.
Any advice on how long to give the EmerAid, and should I up my veggies for her? I had two piggies pass away from bloat so I'm honestly very scared since she's getting older of reintroducing different veggies again. Please let me know, any advice appreciated.
Please send only positive energy Ms. Ginny's way, she is older!
