Well a lot of romaine lettuce and cilantro, and then we also give them carrots (1 baby carrot per pig per day) and bell peppers.
I talked to my clinic and they want to put him on critical care. He is drinking enough water and I pulled back his skin and he is well hydrated and he is eating his hay but he's not touching his pellets which is odd for him. 1/2 of his cage is full of timothy and bluegrass hay. They also want to put him on TMS. The normal doc is gone this whole weekened (with my luck) and the other vet who is there doesnt really treat guinea pigs. I'm gonna try and get a fecal sample for him so we can do a fecal float to see weather he has any intestinal bugs or whatnot. He is still in a good mood, running all over the place, but the diarrhea is not going away.
I would also like to know weather I should take him out of the guinea pig room? His cage is totally separate from all the rest but I would like to know if I should do this as a precaution. None of the other pigs (a total of 8) do not have diarrhea.
