Well, my daughter and i bought a sick guinea pig from the pet shop! ugh!:hair: Anyways, we bought him 3 days ago(and we were noticing a heavy breathing-and said something to the sales associate---he said the "rosette" type gp's are more nervous than the smooth ones). To note: he has 3 different colors and we "had" to have him--so cute! Well, he's being treated right now (left over) at the pet shop vet (banfield) and we will be getting him back tomorrow or next. He weighed 14 ounces (i weighed him) and he felt too boney. He was eating/pooing/peeing fine. I gave him :acidophilus/mixed with vit.c/and pedialyte--the 2 full days i had him. (syringe method). He seems to gobble (or rather attack) the syringe but, i did get the job done. I also have gotten on the GP lynx forum--but, seems frustrating finding what i need to know (i ended up looking at cute fleece snuggle bags with adorable gp pics.!!hehe)--so here's where i need the help from my fellow forum friends: When little "Morris" gets back do i give--critical care? Pedialyte? Xtra C (i bought drops from online-when we bought him)? Xtra parsley (vegs)? Alfalfa hay vs. timothy? (for weight gain) Dyne or lifeline? (i have it all here). They are giving him going to give him an oral antibiotic my daughter said. She took him up there early today. (also, to mention he had a little white discharge in the corner of one eye)
Well, thank you all so very much (ahead of time) for helping--you guys are great!!!:thumbsup:
