That's terrible! :-( Is she separated from the pig that is bullying her?

GreyWish · Dec 23, 2013

yes, right now she is laying with me on my bed, because i cant get her to eat

Force feed her a pellet slurry ASAP! Do you happen to have syringe? If not you can use a turkey baster. Just crush up pellets with the back of a spoon really well and add some water.

I would keep trying with the syringe feeding. She may not accept the syringe politely, but if you can ease the tip into the side of her mouth and get a small amount in she'll probably eat it. That's what I've been doing for my abscess boy who's on critical care right now, he will wiggle and roll and flail and bite but I can still get him to eat several mL with a bit of patience. Also make sure you go through your fridge and really look at the vegetables you have, even things you don't feed often. My guy rarely gets any, but he would eat large leaves of romaine lettuce while refusing everything else, for example.

She just had a very short seizure.....im trying to hold out hope that she will make it through the night but she wont let me feed her
As i was typing this she had another short seizure

If you are unable to get her to a vet, I would just make her comfortable and let her pass in peace.

GreyWish · Dec 24, 2013

I cant get her to a vet and sinced i typed that last post she had 4 more seizures
She cant hold up her head and i think even if i could get her to a vet, i think shes beyond help....
Ive got her on the bed with me and all she wants to do is lay against my knee
I think ill be lucky if she lives another 30 minutes

GreyWish · Dec 24, 2013

She has passed.
Im in so much pain right now, ive never lost a guinea pig before...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that she loved you so much. She was ready, I think.
