Junior Guinea Pig
Hi everyone!
All my time having piggies I’ve only ever had one pig be poorly, and it seems like as I’ve put all my attention on her, Ciri has fallen sick over night.
Shes doing extremely small, wet poos that’s very very sloppy. Last night I noticed she had no interest in her hay, and was very preferring to just laze around which isn’t like her at all! She’s normally very excited, chewing on bars and running around when they get literally anything food related at all so I was very worried.
I’ve booked her in at a vets round the corner from me, I usually use small pet vet in Lincoln but she’s too busy to come at short notice so I’m going with The Veterinary hospital. I’ve been there a handful of times but I always worry as I know these vets are much more trained in dogs and cats than pigs.
I’m wondering what I can expect and what I can do to make things better for ciri. Is there anything I should ask for? She otherwise feels fine, she’s a bit on the fat side and I’ve not noticed any loss, her fur looks great she’s just lethargic and doing really horrible poops. Atm I have other problems going on in life so this has set me off a lot more than it would and I’m feeling extremely anxious.
Any advice would mean a lot, I’ve attached what her blanket looked like when I got her out this morning (I’ve fully cleaned out the cage since)
Thank you
Ellie
