New Born Pup
I am new to this forum, so I apologize if anything i’ve done is wrong. I am desperate for advice because I am in a very sticky situation.
For backround: I have an older guinea pig (7 years old). I noticed this Friday (20th) that she hadn’t eaten and she seemed a little swollen. Unfortunately, by the time I noticed, I didn’t have time to make a vet appointment, and they’re not open all weekend.
I’m syringe feeding her ever 4 ish hours with mashed up pellets and water because I cannot find critical care for the life of me anywhere, including amazon. I can call to make an appointment for the vet on Monday, but this is where it gets sticky. I will be at school for most of the day, so I will be mostly unable to feed her throughout the day to prevent her from starving.
Things am trying so far: Vibrating toothbrush, tummy massages and very small doses of Infant gas relief (0.25 ml)
She is barely pooping or peeing if she does any and hardly ever moves around her cage. It is really hard to see her like this.
