My piggie ate some of my bath towel, will she be ok?

[Popcorns & Wheeks]

Hi all, I am currently battling bloat with my piggie Delilah, the last few days have been shattering to say the least, it has been difficult. To top it off, I got her out earlier to give her her gut stimulants and whilst sorting out her meds, which took around 5 minutes, I came back in the room to find her chewing and eating away at something. I then noticed it was the bath towel I had put her on that I use to wrap her up in when giving her her meds. Panic is setting in once again, I don't think I can take anymore health issues. Do you think she will be ok? Has anyone else's piggies ever done this. Any advice is much appreciated.

Mine have eaten a few things they shouldn’t have gotten into. Just watch her and if she start acting sick in the next couple days take them to a vet. Usually nothing happens, they are guinea pigs, they chew almost everything.

She should be fine but keep an eye on her over the next day or two and take her to the vets if her behaviour changes or she is seeming off and not pooing or her bloat becomes worse. Mine have eaten all sorts of things they shouldn’t and have been fine x
