Hello I'm new to this forum. My name is Nia and my guinea pig is named Sesshomaru but everyone calls him Boo Boo. He is three years old and I love him very much.
Unfortunately I gave him a bath last night (For the second time ever since having him. The first one I gave him was back in August) and he freaked out. The first time I ever gave him a bath he barely flinched. I got some soap in his eyes (Squeaky Clean by SuperPet that I bought at Petco but it said it's tearless). It flushed out and he seems to be seeing fine but since the bath he hasn't stopped itching himself and scratching/biting his fur near his grease gland. last night was the first time I have ever cleaned it. I have noticed he hasn't been eating as much and I haven't seen him drink since last night. I have given him a couple pieces of romaine lettuce and some kale and rinsed it under cool water to get some more water intake for him. He's eating some hay right now.
I schedule a vet appointment tomorrow at 9am for him so I am hoping and praying he will be alright until then.
Anyone have any advice for me?
Thank you and I am happy to be a member here
