Hi,
My Guinea pig Daisy is 5 years old and 6 days ago she was spayed due to recommendations from vet because of hormonal changes. She hadn’t returned to her usual eating/ behaviour after a couple days so on the follow up appointment we expressed these concerns and was told it can be normal and so they prescribed Loxicom and Emeprid for 5 days and told us to continue with syringe feeding her, we are now nearly at the end of that 5 days and Daisy is still not eating by herself except for now a few nibbles of lettuce every once in a while. She is getting better at taking the syringe food now. She doesn’t want her pellets or hay which she usually adores. She will walk around the cage and interact with the other Guinea pigs but spends a lot of the day hiding in her house. She doesn’t seem lethargic though. Her poo’s are less frequent and a different shape but was told by the vet that can be normal for now. I have another appointment for her tomorrow but I just feel hopeless and don’t know what to do. Any advice or recommendations welcome.
