My little rescue guinea pig from Guineas for Life is poorly :(

I found her sat in 1 of the houses not moving! She is usually very skittish but she let me just pick her up. It felt like all of her muscles were contracting - just horrible. I grabbed her out immediately and when she heard her cagemates squeaking, she moved her head. I wrapped her up in my dressing gown and brought in Crater Head for her to cuddle up to - she really pressed herself up against her.

I managed to get quite a bit of water into her but when syringing the water into her mouth, she was locking her teeth on the syringe. My mum came over and we took her over to our vets. She is staying in so that they can have a look at her and do what they can. Crater Head has gone in with her to keep her company.

I just hope that she is ok! :(

Poor wee thing. Your vet sounds great though Ellie. I'm sure he will get to the bottom of the problem. Keep us posted. Craterhead sounds like a lovely sweet pig too. x
 
Thanks everyone. I am just about to clean out the pigs so that all the bedding is new.

We didn't have an appointment, our vets is 30 mins away and my mum needed to get back to pick a child up from school so we literally had to drop her off. They were absolutely fine with taking her in, and the vet nurse attended to her straight away and said she would get the vet to look at her when he could.

Lainey from Guineas 4 Life had a huge influx of guinea pigs coming in so I offered to foster some for her. We took about 20 piggies in, my mum looked after the boys and I had the girls. My mum ended up keeping all of the boys LOL and I kept some of the girls and rehomed 8. Luke said we had to rehome Tweety but the pigs she lived with bullied her so without Luke knowing, I tried her with our lot and kept quiet LOL In the end, I told him she had moved in with ours and that she was much happier so he let us keep her. She has always been very much on her own, so when I went to pick a friend to look after her I didn't know who to pick. Crater Head is a mummy so I thought she would be the best pig to choose!

Will keep my fingers crossed!
 
Sorry to hear about Tweety, wishing her a speedy recovery

Sending hugs and xoxoxoxo

The vet has just rang and said that she is not in a good way at all and that she is very bloated and dehydrated. They have given her painkiller, fluids and something for her bloat. It's not looking good :(
 
Aww I'm sorry to hear that - fingers and everything crossed that Tweety pulls through.
