Hello!
This morning my guinea pig had a stroke. I took her to the vet immediately and they let me know it was from itchiness (lice). Turns out she got it from boarding at our local guinea pig rescue
. The vet stabilized her, medicated her, and kept her for the day to ensure there were no more strokes before being sent home. I was sent home with quite a bit of medicine for pain relief and to reduce itchiness. I also have her quarantined from the herd for the time being in a dark and warm room. She has an appetite, and has none of the overt indicators of a stroke that she had this morning (unable to stand up straight, bulged eyes, and convulsions). My only concern is that she is still a bit wobbly. Is that normal post stroke/during recovery? Is there something more I should be doing?
Thank you in advance!
