movedd 2 france 6 weeks ago!
10 days ago i noticed that my 4 year old male guinea pig wasnt eating so i checked him over and discovered that hes bum looked to be swolen. i thought it may be anal impaction so looked on peter gurney's website and yes he had anal impaction. i followed his instruction and expelled the lump and understood that i may need to do it again if it dosent right itself.
i thought that after i did this he would then start 2 eat again but he didnt so i took him too the vets and thought that he may possibly need his teeth cliping as he seemed to have most of the symptoms of tooth problems eg. he couldnt rip and tear, he was interested in his food but failed to eat, he couldnt eat the peel as well as the apple from an apple slice, he picked up food but it dropped out of his mouth.i thought that the vet would need to clip his front teeth as they looked slightly longer than usual, the vet had a goodlook in his mouth an said that he would clip his front teeth but the rest of his teeth looked fine and so did his tongue. he also said that he could not see any other reason why he could not eat.
he still didnt eat so i decided 2 syringe feed him, five days later he started eating on his own but the day after he started with diorea so i started giving his half a tablet of diocam every twelve hours like peter gurney says on his website, it lasted two days and now he still isnt eating now, i am giving him vitamin C though and making sure i give him pleanty of fluids and will start feeding him again if he dosent start eating soonnnnn! he has lost quite a bit of weight
what i cant understand is why he is still acting very normal his eyes are bright
and anyoneeeee pleaseeeeee please helppppp me out!?!
