Junior Guinea Pig
Hiya I hope someone can help.
I woke up this morning to find my little Boris breathing really fast, I've taken him to the vet who said he has a severe URI and wanted to put him down straight away, but thankfully decided he may have a chance as he is still eating. He's been given 2 injections, one antibiotic and one for hydration and I've been given some Baytril to give him tomorrow morning.
Does anyone know if theres anything else I can do? I've read about Olbas oil and vitimen C tablets but I can't find what quantity to give or how often.
I'm so gutted, I never thought I'd get so attached to a guinea pig he's such a lovely little thing I'm prepared to try anything if I know it's worked for someone else. :'(
At the moment he's in my bedroom where it's dark and quiet but I don't know if isolating him from the reast of us is the right thing to do at the moment? He's more subdued than normal but doesn't look sick if that makes any sense.
Everything I've read on the internet looks so bleak, do any come through with these severe symptoms?
Thanks in advance for any replies. x
