Take her to a cavvy savvy vet asap. Diarrhea is not normal, and she needs medical treatment. Also, I strongly urge you to post in the emergency section on guinealynx Guinea Lynx :: * * * * * .

Guinea Lynx :: Diarrhea Check out this link on diarrhea. Ditto on getting her to a vet. Diarrhea and motility issues should not be taken lightly and the sooner you do something the better! Good luck!

I agree. Take her to a knowledgeable vet and read up on your piggy's problem on guinea lynx. I took Tsunami to the vet for her mushy poo problem and I am so relieved just knowing what her problem is. Turns out she needs a probiotic and it's not contagious. It's better to find out for sure than to play a guessing game, because it could be something serious, especially if it's full on diarrhea.
Make sure your piggy is drinking enough. You might want to give her wet veggies so that you know she is getting some fluids.
