Specialist Guinea Pig Losing Weight - Failure to thrive

So Sundae stopped eating again and I am back to syringe feeding. She screams for her veggies, but wants to eat only strawberrys and carrot! I give her greens (Kale, dandylion, parsley, romain...) but she only picks at them. Hay and pellets she wont touch sny more...this is getting frustrating as I wait to see an expert on teeth! Besides the syringe feeding of critical care, should I put soaked food in her cage over night? How much carrot and strawbeey can I safely give her?
 
I’ve read somewhere porridge oats are good at helping piggies put on weight. Soaked food is good too to keep her going overnight if she’ll eat it too.

Hope the vet can get little Sundae sorted soon x
 
Thank you, I will try that. We have an appointment with a piggy specialist this coming Friday, she is also a dental specialist so I am hoping that she will be sorted soon. Her buddy Spooky has the opposite problem, we had to put her on a piggy diet 😂
