Hello, I have a guinea pig who won't eat his veggies. Here is what happened. About 4 days ago, my guinea pig seemed to have a hard time breathing. His voice was very croaky and gravelly, and he wasn't squeaking as much, or even making that much sound at all. I didn't know what had happened, as he is my first guinea pig and this is the first time it's happened in the 1+ years I've had him. It got worse the next day, and his voice sounded worse, and he was acting kind of lethargic. Then, on that night he stopped drinking his water. He would eat his veggies, hay, and pellets, but he wouldn't drink from his water. The next morning, it got worse, and he was even more lethargic, didn't eat as much, and wouldn't drink from his bottle AT all. So I decided to make a vet appointment for him that day. The vet (and yes, I made sure he was an exotic animal vet) said that the main problem was that he was pretty congested. Something else he said that didn't really have to do with it was that my guinea is not dangerously fat, but a small bit overweight, so I've made sure to give him correct portions of veggies, about a cup a day (Idk if it might relate to the problem I will be stating in a bit). The doctor gave us baytril and told me my pig needed to take it twice a day for 10 days, with 12 hour intervals. We're on the third day of meds and he finally started drinking from his water again, but he stopped eating veggies thicker than leaf. I gave him a bit of parsley, and he ate that. I also gave him a small portion carrot tops, and he ate that. So I came to the conclusion that he wouldn't really eat anything that hard. When I gave him lettuce, he ate all of the leaf part I gave him, but he left the crunchy stock. He is eating leafy greens, hay, pellets, and drinking water. But he won't eat any thick or hard veggies. I tested carrot, cucumber, celery, some tomato (all things he normally eats) and he wouldn't eat any. It's also worth noting he WILL eat his hard vitamin c tablets, (which are even difficult for normal pigs to eat), yet no hard veg? I'm very confused. Does it have to do with dental problems, maybe? or maybe the meds he's taking? I've read that though their diet mainly requires hay and water, and a small portion of pellets, vegetables are also important. Any help please? I've had no previous pigs, so I'm not very good at identifying what exactly is wrong.
