This morning when I came in with breakfast for my two girls, Belle was turned away from me up in the hayloft, and didnt even look around when I handed out the leaves on the bottom floor.
I handfed her cilantro which she slowly ate, still not interested in moving downstairs which she always does otherwise.
I picked her up to check for any signs of possible URI or stiff limbs for Scruvy. Her legs were fine & there was no crusty eyes or nose or wheezing. When I put her back in the cage she nibbled the lettuce, and then went back up to the hayloft slowly to eat hay.
She has been getting less interested in beakfast, unfortunately it's the same two kinds of leaves & cilantro every morning as winter is leaving little option for variation in veggies not coming form countries using a lot of pesticides.
She & her cage mate was adopted 5 months ago form a very neglectful home where they definately weren't fed properly. Is scruvy a possability from their earlier abuse?
I've been calling around to every single vet office I could get to, but none have time for us today. It's friday, and there's only one clinic open on weekends. One with no proper experience in cavies & they charge the doubble amount.
What should I do? I'm terrified to wait until Monday.
Shes walking around now, attacking a new cardboard box & seem fine. But something is clearly not right.
