Hi,
I am wondering what are the usual dosage for simethicone for guinea pigs (used for bloat)
The vet recommended 0.4ml every 6hours for a 1kg pig but i am worried it might be too much.
The brand is Ridwind and it is 100mg for 1ml. I read online that recommended dosage is 20mg/kg for 3-4 times a day?
He is still active and eating hay, weird thing is during his first visit he wasn’t prescribed simethicone although his stomach was distended, but i added woodsward gripe water 0.2ml from my side just in case.
He was on metoclopromide and still is.
During his bloat review 1 half weeks later, his gas bubble reduced significantly but it was still not back to normal so the vet prescribed simethicone.
Anyways, just wanted to check if the dosage is alright for a 1kg guinea pig :-) thank you.
I have also included his X ray for his visits to show his bloat improvement.
