Junior Guinea Pig
Hi everyone, my 6 1/2 year old boy Kip isn’t really interested in food right now. He ate a small bit of cucumber and apple and I gave him a few mls of cc but I’m concerned. I went for a nap around 11:30am this morning and overslept until 3pm because I forgot to set an alarm and he was absolutely fine this morning, when I went to sleep he was in his pile of hay eating away. Not long before then he was begging for some more nuggets too.
He’s walking fine and he’s alert and his tummy feels no different to his friend Ollie’s tummy, but his poops are very mushy again and less of them. I posted here a week or so ago about mushy poops that did fix itself again after about 3 days, seemingly giving him new fruit caused it. Maybe he had got too much pellets because the other day I hadn’t measured them and I gave them in increments during the day, but when I held him on my lap I could squeeze some mushy poops out. He just seems to want to sit in his house? When I was syringe feeding him I was concerned because he wasn’t moving his head as much but then he did start headbutting the air and resisting.
Maybe I’m really overthinking it and he actually just wants to sleep and I’m really irritating him but I’m on high alert since my Bobby passed a couple weeks ago. I called the vet and they can’t see him this evening either
They only have an appointment tomorrow at 4pm which I’d struggle to get to because I need someone to drive, much easier past 5pm but if needs be I’ll figure it out
To add I did spot him eat something off the floor at about 7pm yesterday, have no idea what because he hoovered it up before I got the chance of get him to drop it but all it really could’ve been is hay, museli nuggets they get as an rare treat or perhaps a bit of tissue or paper
