So I took my daughter's guinea pig to the emergency vet yesterday. She wasn't eating, drinking very little and had decreased urine and poo output. What urine she did have was bloody.They did xrays and her stomach was filled with gas and there was bacteria and crystals in her urine. She was rehydrated and given a injection of a pro-motility drug. I was sent home with Baytril and Metacam.
The vet said I should see improvement today. She is peeing but only pooped once. She won't eat or drink but I am giving her Critical Care and water with a syringe. What else I can I get to tempt her to eat? Any special hay or veggies that guinea pigs love? Is there a trick to getting her to take the syringe better? I have only been able to get 5 ml of Critical Care in her and 3 ml of water.
