Lady Kelly
Senior Guinea Pig
My OAP Queen Bea is now at her lowest weight 630g but she's a long piggy so used to top over 1kg. She's still looking bright and lively, she is also still the first one down at veggie time.
However, weight loss aside, she feels like a bag of bones and also has a bald patch on her lower back, just a patch of hair loss. I was thinking it could be hormonal linked to the renal disease or just from not having enough energy in her body? Does anyone know anymore about this? I'm reluctant to take her to the vets as I know she's on her way out (as I was told last August!) and don't want to put any extra stress or anything on her unneccessarily
