Hello,
I have a 2 year old guinea pig who has recently been spayed due to 4 ovarian cysts.
Before her surgery, one of the reasons I’d noticed she was poorly was weight loss (as well as fur loss and other things), so after surgery I was hoping she would put on some weight.
On the day of surgery (17th Feb), she was down to 800g and 3-4 months before she was around 1.1kg. She was weighed at the vets yesterday, and is now down to just over 700g. Vet said to weigh her again next week, and if she’s lost more then to bring her in.
I’m currently feeding her oats mixed in with her pellets, which she seems to be eating but she’s not eating all of her veggies.
I’m just looking for advice really, and what to expect if we do end up having to take her back in. Am I better off not feeding her the oats until I’ve weighed her again or do I carry on?
Sorry if I’ve rambled a little, I’m just worried about her. Thank you.
