Guinea Pig Papa Thank you for your advice. I was super serious about the critical care, and I also ended up using acidophilus during feedings after the antibiotic. She has definitely perked up a bit today - she's showing an enthusiasm for vegetables again, which is wonderful! She is also incredibly thirsty. Some head butting & general feistiness have begun to return too.
I'm still worried things could change though, but I'm weighing her about 3 times a day & she's gradually gaining instead of losing like she was. She's such a strong girl & I'm so proud of her.
It's just been a strange new experience for me as I've never had a pig, or even a pet of my own, go through something like this.
