Hi, we have two guinea pigs both of who were prescribed 'Tmps' and it seems to be affecting each badly.
I tried searching TMPS with no success, is it called something else?
One guinea (female, 5.5yo) was prescribed it for an abscessed tooth (bacteria in the mouth) and it's given her severe diarrhea.
The other guinea (female, 7yo) was prescribed it for a mild case of bumble-foot (caused by them piling hay up on the ground and nesting in it constantly) and it seems to have made her constipated. She is eating and drinking a little less that usual, but she is eating and drinking, but she hasn't poo'ed in over an hour.
So my questions are:
What is TMPS and how does it compare with the other antibiotics (Baytril, etc.) that are more commonly discussed on here.
Is there a better antibiotic that would cause them less issues that I should switch them to?
Thanks,
Hal
