Hi Everyone,
I really hope you can help me, I have a male guinea pig called peanut, he is 4 years old, a couple of weeks ago I noticed a lump under he’s chin, I rushed him straight to a vet who advised removal as the lump turned out to be an abscess attached to he’s jaw bone, the surgery went well, this was on Thursday 14th Jan
Peanut came home that day and was eating well, he was given a pain killer injection and was a little wobbly, since then Peanut has been eating he’s hay fine and is eating small amounts of pellet dried food but he is trying he’s hardest to have fresh food, he seems to take some fresh food and then refuse the rest, I have been feeding him some recovery food that I have to mix with water.
Peanut is not drinking any water or really moving around he’s cage that much, he is still rutting around in he’s hay, I’m trying to give him water with a syringe.
He was prescribed Baytril for 5 days.
Has anyone else been through abscess removal, I’m taking him back to the Vet tonight?
Regards
Frankie
