Junior Guinea Pig
There's something wrong with one of my 10 guinea pigs, she is around 4 years old recently she has lost a lot of weight, has diarrhoea and smells of urine? We like to bath our guineas in tepid water in the summer months so we've been bathing her a few times a week for the past couple of weeks to stop her smelling and prevent her being uncomfortable but it keeps coming back. We also noticed her genital area has a swelling one side of it. She is eating completely normally, no changes at all and the swelling doesn't cause her any distress when touched. We are going to take her to the vets this week but I just want some advice as to what to do with her in the mean time.
I bathed her today at around 1pm today and it's now 6 and she smells just as bad as before. I put her and one of the other piggies into a clean, smaller indoor hutch outside while it's nice and breezy this evening and they have a new water bottle (just in case there was something in one of them), some hay and dried food. I give my piggies fresh veg every night so what veg should we give her tonight? Is there anything else to make her better? And what could it be? :'(
