So this is about my moms guinea pig. she is 8 yrs old. since 2019, her guinea pig’s legs became paralyzed. and this year, she has lost complete mobility. she lays on her side unable to move at all.
her eyes are also red with white discharge that leaks. she still has a appetite but my mom hand feeds her/leaves the food close to her mouth.
i dont think my mom knows the proper care of a guinea pig even though i kept telling her. this pig has not had a companion so she lives alone. my mom also overfed her a lot- giving her an entire bowl of lettuce and a lot of carrots 5 times a day. and she didnt get much exercise- mom always brought her with everywhere she went but she would put her in a small box so that she would “keep still”
mom also doesnt let her have hiding spot houses, and there is always a bright light over her. no darkness. and her poop and pee piles up under her constantly since she cant move anymore.
also mom refused to take her to a vet.
i wish to do more but i am only 15. its clear her guinea pig is dying. but she been like this all year this year. is she very miserable and suffering based from my description? mom is feeding her and putting her on a comfty blanket but she wont listen to me when i research on what to do.
