Junior Guinea Pig
Hi guys hope you and your pigs are all well.
I have a female piggy marshmallow around 7-8 maybe 9 months difficult to know from pets at home. I spoke on here recently about her weight having dropped and her back legs and back generally making her squirm and scream and was advised to take her to the vet. The vet said overall marsh was healthy looking but picked up on her attitude right away very sassy we’re her words maybe just her characteristic. She mentioned possible arthritis but said she was very young for that and she wouldn’t want to put her to sleep to look into it further at the moment. Since then around 2/3 weeks she has gained weight and then lost like on Thursday she had gained 5 then yesterday lost 5 so we are going to start weighing every second day or maybe everyday from now. She has been off her food for around 2 weeks seems to become bored and wanders off to have hay when everyone else is munching. She will eat only a tiny bit of pepper and this morning I tried to hand feed her cucumber and pepper she started getting really agitated trying to bite me then was biting any veg I offered and repeatedly would bite it and spit it out at me like almost aggressive. I then gave her some carrot and coriander which she was fine with but I’m not sure what to do.
