This could be long so sorry in advance...
My sow Tallulah is a Peruvian and is constantly wet around her rear end, we keep it as short as physically possible and have given her many baths. However one day it got to the point it just couldnt have been normal. The bedding is always kept dry and although they sleep on hay I keep it dry and constantly change it.
I took them to the vets last Friday and got told that no stones could be felt so I was to give her Baytril and a fibre paste...I was also to stop feeding her veggies whilst I done this. Done as I was told and she wetness went away...
Began to ween her back onto her veg when the paste was finished and by the second day she was wet although she had only had a small amount of carrot and a small tear of greens. Put it down to prehaps carrot? So next day...no carrot and a small bit of yellow pepper..checked again next day..wet.
My mum called the vet and the vet said to stop the veg again, I have just spoken to my mum who said the vet was basically saying Tallulah would have to now live on pellets and hay...surely this cant be good for her though and she will miss out of vital vitimins etc?! I'm so confused it's unbelieveable!
She has a constant fresh supply of hay and Supa Guinea Pig Excel pellets...
ANy oppinions or advice on this would be very welcome as I'm extremely confused and worried at the moment.
