My Guinea pig,Toby, was overdosed with extended release buprenorphine. He was given >6.5 times the dose and the exotic vet didn’t do anything about it causing my piggie to get GI stasis. I transported him to another clinic and treatment was started. He is currently getting:
-Metoclopramide every 6 hours
-cerenia every 24 hours
-simethacone every 8 hours
-SQ fluids once a day (~40-60mLs)
-pedialyte every 8 hours ~5-10mLs
-feeding as much critical care as possible but he seems to fall asleep so can’t take in very much
It has been 5 days and we have seen mild improvement in his energy but doesn’t seem to have an appetite.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what else to do? Normally the buprenorphine extended release last 48-72 hours but bc he was overdosed we are not sure how long it is going to last!
Any help would be much appreciated, located in texas.
