Piggy Planet
Junior Guinea Pig
Hello,
I have a two and a half year old boy, Bramble, just adopted from a rescue around three weeks ago. After a couple of weeks, he lost the use of his front left paw, and by the next day, his back left one wasn't working either.
I took him to a guinea pig-friendly vet who thought perhaps it was an infection, so gave me Baytril antibiotics. He has had no trauma, no falls and has not been attaclked by his companion (I keep a trail camera in their enclosure to monitor behaviour)
I'd like to know if anyone else has ever experienced this issue and what the outcome was for their piggy. Thank you.
