Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi
Boris got the all clear from the vet on Friday. Yay! ;D It seems all the antibiotics have cleared up his kidney problem, which is great. Unfortunately, poor Babs has got bad cystitis yet again - this time she has been ending up with a wet bottom so I have had to give her baths. It seems that the anti-inflammatory 'Cartrophen' injections the vet gives her work really well and then when they are stopped she just gets it back again. She has been in pain when both urinating and passing droppings (squeaking and having spasms). The vet thinks she will need these injections every week now so he is giong to teach me how to give them - argghh scary. I am also trying a bladder tincture that Chrissie from Gorgeous Guineas gave me to see if that will help. Poor old Babs!
