Seizures

Hello all. Ive recently adopted a guinea pig who was found roaming in a park in horrible shape. She was bald and full of mites/lice. The rescue that took her nursed her back to health. Ive had her for about a month now shes put on excellent weight, had a tooth trim and is such a joy. She does however suffer from seizures due to her neglect while having mites. Ive been reassured by 2 different vets that she is otherwise heathly minus the bit of nerve damage on the side of her face and the seizures she gets from time to time. I was told that they wont medicate her unless she becomes worse.
Does anyone have any experience with pigs and seizures? Shes such a sweet baby thats been through so much in her little life. I want to make her as comfy as we can.

Re: Seizures

Are you sure she was treated properly for mites? She shouldn't still be having seizures from that if she was treated for mites.

Re: Seizures

yup im sure and had her eval'd 2xs by different vets to be sure. They said she went neglected too long and it caused some brain damage ie the facial problems she has now.
